Re: RIP Terry Hall
Absolutely awful. One of the all time greatest. Feel very blessed that I got to see him with the specials a few years back with a good friend. They put on an amazing show.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: RIP Terry Hall
Like everyone I’m shocked.
What a shitty piece of news, especially at this time of year.
Terry Hall was perfect in The Specials front line, and made a lot of fine music in his own right later.
Condolences to his loved ones. What more can you say?

Re: RIP Terry Hall
Yes very horrible timing, 2 days off from Joe's 20 year death anniversary
Re: RIP Terry Hall
Horrid news. A true legend.
I saw the Specials sans Terry in 1998 but didn't take my chance to see the reformed Specials in recent years.
Rest in peace Terry.

Re: RIP Terry Hall
Any one care to post some good Specials songs? I only have a superficial familiarity with their music. Any other TH stuff too for that matter.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: RIP Terry Hall
I've always like these two, but there are so many good ones, it's hard to pick just a couple.

Re: RIP Terry Hall
Their entire first album is one of the best of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Specials_(album)
But this song is the one that grabs even the casual listener
