I'll start . He never sang much in it .. more backing vocals but . The specials .. Why!!!. B side of niteklub. Love Do nothing and rat race also and a big shout out to Ghost Town , which could easily be rereleased nowadays with the state we all living in . Fun boy 3 gotta be tunnel of love and our lips are sealed. Then latterly The colourfield .. castle's in the air and for me "thinking of you ". He sang in such a laid back .. cant be arsed way but the lyrics he sang meant so much to all of us no matter what creed or colour
Gotta be done . Favourite Terry Hall song!!!

FFS I was just looking up his songs to see what three I would pick and didnt know he had died. I am absolutely shocked and gutted. I have spent the last two days unsuccesfully trying to repair my PC which crashed.
Gutted too mate . 63 Yr old . No age . He did live the "Rock and roll" lifestyle like for a good while like . He got 12 yrs on me . Makes me think I need to start reigning it in . Might feel good now but obviously catches up with u b4 u know it

On another note I would pick these three songs as an example of his music but I have almost everything he released.
Vegas (Terry Hall & Dave Stewart) - Possessed

The Specials - Why (Live in Coventry 1981)
Thank u for this arsed . Never ever heard it . I lost touch after colourfield when I got big into a different genre of music . I actually thought he just layed low and did private gigs . Teaming up with Dave Stewart is just majestic . 2 unreal musicians at the top of their game but in least fashion with the the music tastes of the youth at the time . Was never gonna be "out there" and unless for u I would never of ever known this existed . Thank u once again mate
Pusses on the gogos version . Still prefer tunnel of love tho . Probs cos the lyrics relate to my past life very much hags
Means more nowadays than ever b4 . Still can't understand why all skinheads and " neo nazis" loved ska . Ska was anti racism and originated from reggae and black music but all the racists in 80s loved it . So hypocritical

Bloody hell loving this thread . I thought I knew everything about Terry haha . Brilliant to hear these songs. Must've been in 90s or later when I lost touch and joined the rave culture . Just love his melancholic tone although he sounds a bit happier in this song haha

Brilliant first song b4 they introduced Bananarama to the scene . The whole " waiting" album was great stuff
Tunnel of love my fave . The lyrics are exactly as my early life panned out before I knew it would haha . Listening to it nowadays is such a "funny" reflection
