the specials brought so much fun to the world, through lyrics mostly about misery, while being one of the most uplifting acts you could ever hope to see, RIP Terry Hall, the only voice that could pull that impossible task off so well xx

[@R36vw]

2022. Sadly sir Terry Hall has just passed away. Tragic news as I grew up listening to two tone /ska. And loved every minute of it. Massive thanks for all the years of timeless and unforgettable classic tunes the specials provided us with. God bless Terry Hall. Gone But Never Forgotten. ✝️💔✝️⬜️⬛️⬜️⬛️ ⬛️⬜️⬛️⬜️
