Hello lovelies I was saddened and surprised to hear this news of Terry’s passing@@ on the radio at 3 am yesterday 3morning rubbing cannabis oil on my legs, trying to stretch them out and warm them up. I’ve been having problems with my circulation lately and at night especially.
Anyhoo The Specials and this song was the first song I heard and liked. From my childlike perspective it was the first group that had both black and white people playing music, friends together. I connected to the songs and their commoradary its hard to choose a favourite. They had songs such as Message To You Rudy, Monkey Man, Do Nothing, Rat Race, Enjoy Yourself, Your Wondering Now, and Too Much Too Young. I even wore some black and white when the ska two tone style of clothing was out.. I was only a kid and still liked their music when Terry with two of his band mates from The Specials formed the group Fun Boy Three with songs such as Ghost Town, The Lunatics Are Taking Over The Asylum, Our Lips Are Sealed, It Ain’t What You Do, aswell as Really Saying Something with Bananarama a popular UK girl band in the 1980s..
Lastly he also had a song Thinking Of You under the name of Colourfield. He wrote songs aswell as covering other songs previously played by other artists.. β€οΈ
