Rest In Peace Terry Hall lead singer of The Specials and beloved son of Coventry who sadly passed away aged 63. Much love to his family, the rest of the band and to all his fans.

Loving the SKA stuff you guys are reacting too. You've really gotta check out "The Beat" , in the USA they were known as the "English Beat" I highly recommend "Mirror in the Bathroom" and "Stand Down Margret"

First saw them around 1980 when I was a teenager, last saw them about 3 years ago where my wife broke her foot jumping around like a lunatic, luckily she was boozed up enough to not feel too much pain so I got to see the end of the show😎 You should react to the original 1960s Jamaican Ska, this song was originally done by The Maytals who also recorded the classic 54-46 Was My Number.

If you want to react to another Specials song, I'd recommend "Nite klub" or "Rat race". As mentioned below, you should also check out "Mirror in the bathroom" by The English Beat and "On my radio" by The Selecter.

One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) Please react to Diana Ankudinova ! Meet the singer with the most unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones), reactors call her the goosebump queen. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice." (Wikipedia about Diana) Full vocal range - 4 octaves. The number of reactions to Diana exceeded the number of 12 thousand reactions. In my playlist section there are 3 playlists (5k+5k+2k reactions each).

So glad you guys getting into the british ska movement which is long since dead. Im its day ( every underground club played this stuff) every venue was bouncing. Itcwas such good fun uplifying dance music with its own unique scene. Simple music but you knew youd been out for a night when you went to a ska night. I love the great american song book ( doo waps and classic tracks produced on your side of the pond) which is classic feel good music. So nice to see you guys feeling the vibe on our niche party music.

What a great time for music that was. Not even the late 90's ska/punk could murder these songs. Toots & The Maytals did a live set at Glastonbury a few moons ago and were spectacular. I am not sure if their set was aired on the BBC coverage or if its even on here, but deep dive down another rabbit hole 🤣

Ska was a bit before my time but I remember my older sister listening to it , and I’ve liked it since, but I went to a tribute band gig (think they were called Elton Rifles. In Wigan where I’m from) at a local club a few years ago, they played this and few others from the specials and others and It was one of the best times I’ve ever had at a gig , I was dancing like a madman on the dance floor albeit pissed but it was amazing, it’s great uplifting fun music to just jump around to. It’s was very loud and my ears were ringing for a week later as we were dancing right in front of the speakers ha ha
