    RIP TERRY HALL. Jerry Dammers discovered Hall from seeing these boys live.

    @@gazcook6218 I know Gaz, I didn't say he was singing, I said he was discovered whilst in the band playing live. He may have sung it at a gig. Who knows, but it's a terrible loss for all fans of the 2Tone movement and The Specials

    Absolutely my dear friend. Heard it first on Peel, under the bedcover, aged 13. Stayed in my head, never knew who it was.. Till then years ago..heard it on sound of the 70 's....BBC radio 2....Sunday afternoon job.. Found out it was The Squad. With Terry out of Special's from Coventry. Just up the road. .. Never knew...
