That's an incredible song

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in Birmingham, England in December of 1978. The band has had more than 50 singles on the UK Singles Chart, and has also achieved considerable international success. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records worldwide. The ethnic make-up of the band's original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Welsh, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish, and Yemeni parentage. Their hit singles include their debut "Food for Thought" and the two Billboard Hot 100 number ones, "Red Red Wine" and "Can't Help Falling in Love". Both of the latter also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band's version of "I Got You Babe". They covered Elvis Presley‘s "Can't Help Falling in Love" in 1993, peaking at number 1 on both the UK Singles chart, and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Love that ppl are enjoying their music 30 odd years after it was released 👌

Love UB40. All from Britain but from different ethnic backgrounds. Reggae music is a strong influence in the UK. There are documentaries about how reggae came to be a force to be reckoned with.growing up in London we used to go to house parties. Lots of rub a dub reggae. Just the best days

Another great UB40 song, they did a duet, is that even possible with a group, with I think Chrissy Hynde from the pretenders. It's called I got you babe and is a cover from Sonny and Cher.

UB40 music has always been some of the most heartfelt and sexiest music around

I met the whole band a few years ago, when they were flying back to London. I guess there was an awards show here that night. I had no idea there were actually 40 band members. My boss gave me a look like she wanted to slap me for not figuring that out. 🤣🤣🤣 I checked in all 40 of them and over 100 suitcases. Worth it though. They’re such a great group of fellas. They’re very nice and super talented. I grew up listening to these guys. They’re so good.

They did a sensational job of this timeless song🤩Luv😍

A great reaction from you sweetheart, it was lovely to see the happiness on your face and watch you chair dancing (my Mum became disabled and she sat and my younger siblings said that never mind she couldn't stand up to dance Mum chair danced.

I think Elvis would have liked this version. A new generation at the time keeping his music going. They put their sound on it, but kept it respectful to Elvis's version. Side note a group called the pet shop boys did a cover of Always on my mind, you should check it out, they did it in 1987. React to it.

Brilliant song! Another great Elvis cover is 'Always on my mind' by the Pet Shop Boys. Great 80's pop classic. It's another track that sounds completely different to the original Elvis version but just works. Give it a go! Love the channel btw!

I'm always dubious about cover versions, but this is one of those that gets my approval. Love Elvis and this is a great version of his song

Another invention of the 80's was ska. UB40 is reggae, but ska was big as well. Such as Madness (You've done them) and The English Beat. If you want to go in this direction, I'd recommend English Beats "Save it for Later", or "Tears of a Clown".
