I woke up very early this morning and was looking through the news when I saw that Terry Hall had passed away yesterday after a short illness.
Very sad news as he was the front man for a couple of great bands, so with this being a Tuesday, and me not having posted a #ttt post for a while, this is a #threetunetuesday post dedicated to Terry Hall.

Hello Hello to all the music lovers of Hive

Formalities over, let's showcase Terry Hall
He is most famous as one of the lead singers with The Specials and I have showcased The Specials before in #ttt 👉 A special 2 tone 4 3 tune tuesday
The three songs being ...
tune 1 The Specials - A message to you Rudy
tune 2 The Specials - Rat Race
tune 3 The Specials - Free Nelson Mandela
So none of these will feature today.
We will though, kick off with their first single which was played up by the legendary Radio 1 DJ John Peel and set them off on their way to stardom.
Tune 1 The Specials - Gangsters
As with any of our favourite artists, it is always so hard to showcase just three or choose your favourite.
Take the GOAT dilemma with Messi and Maradona, for me it is Maradona, because he got kicked to shit as Coisty and Ardiles said, Maradona did not get the protection from referees and the laws that Messi has.
There are no rights and wrongs, do what you enjoy and listen to what you enjoy is what I say!
The Beeb did a great piece and this is where I found that Terry Hall of The Specials dies aged 63
Tune 2 Bananarama & Fun Boy Three - It Aint What You Do
Hall quit The Specials and formed Fun Boy Three with Golding and Staple, chaning from ska to a skeletal pop sound.
It is also where he started with his love of colabs, and some of the ones with Bananarama are earworms so to speak!
Tune 3 The Specials - Ghost Town
I have to close out with the iconic Ghost Town and I wonder if TH will come back as a ghost.
I hope that you enjoyed this trio of Terry Hall tunes!
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
