This should have been THE SPECIALS first no 1 when it came out in 1979.I’d grown up with SKA and ROCKSTEADY,but I loved THE SPECIALS,and the way they split up in 1981 after GHOST TOWN was so sad,but from 79 to 81,they gave us some great tracks,and this was my favourite👍

Thank you for sharing this video, I HATED high school!! But the music played by the Specials and the Selector, and so many more, made my miserable HS days a little more tolerant!! This was one of my favorites!! I had a boyfriend who played this song on his guitar and I was smitten!!
