Terry Hall Dies: Frontman For Seminal British Ska Band The Specials Was 63
20.12.2022 - 06:37 / deadline.com
Terry Hall, the longtime voice of legendary ska group The Specials has died after what the band termed a brief illness. He was 63.
Hall and the Specials reached their widest appeal with the haunting, socially conscious “Ghost Town,” which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. singles charts in 1981. The song was a commentary on economic strife in Margaret Thatcher’s England and the social unrest of the era, including riots that year in Britain. It was named “Single of the Year” by all three of the major UK music magazines.
The Specials were formed in the late ’70s by songwriter/keyboardist Dammers, vocalist Tim Strickland, guitarist/vocalist Lynval Golding, drummer Silverton Hutchinson and bassist Horace Panter (a.k.a. Sir Horace Gentleman). Strickland was replaced by Hall shortly after the band’s formation. They were at the vanguard of the the 2 Tone ska revival of the late 1970s in Britain, which fused Jamaican ska rhythms and melodies with faster tempos and a harder edge influenced by punk rock.
The band released two albums with Hall as frontman, starting with the 1979 all-time classic The Specials, which featured hard-to-forget uptempo tunes such as “A Message to You, Rudy,” “Nite Klub,” “Concrete Jungle,” “Monkey Man,” “(Dawning of A) New Era” and “Too Much Too Young.”
The 1980 followup More Specials featured songs like “Enjoy Yourself,” “Do Nothing”, “Stereotype” and “Rat Race.” It included collaborations with with Go-Go’s members Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, and Jane Wiedlin; Rhoda Dakar from the Bodysnatchers; and Lee Thompson from Madness.
Hall also co-wrote the Go-Gos 1981 debut single “Our Lips Are Sealed” with Wiedlin.
