I am amazed at listening to his voice here in the interview: deep deep voice I would say probably a natural baritone. Yet when you hear him sing with UB40 there are times where he reaches a higher register it doesn't really sound like a falsetto like you hear the Bee Gees or Aaron Neville. His unique voice and accent (an Island accent in song) have really become a signature of many of the UB40 songs...it just doesn't sound right sung by anybody else. All the best to Ali but we'll miss him.
Love u ali campbell sir from kunal family in fiji islands we even play ur songs when we have parties at my place n dance full swing with ur songs🎸🎸🎸but yes groovin song is our num1
The official reason cited my Ali Campbell (of his departure) is money disagreements ie his not getting enough. If you have listened to it, (40 sec to 65 sec on part 5)then you will have heard Ali Campbell say “I wouldn’t do that to the band, I’m a more pleasant person then that” in reply to a question of why he doesn’t go solo.
@hsp2007 : I listened to that particular part of the interview twice, just to make sure before commenting. Ali Campbell (in my view) does not mention any money or financial motive whatsoever to leave the band.
listen to his comments at 40 sec to 65 sec(on part 5) .he did leave the band over money how sad is that? my question to ali is how much money do you need after 30 years of success?? the word GREEDY comes to mind, but i suppose that's the way our world is going.
He must feel a fool when he listens to this interview because he has done precisely that( to the band) over money & he must not be a ‘more pleasant person then that’ then he wants us to believe My comments were how sad is that! And how much money does a guy need?? It seems money has superseded his love for the music or band.Hey its just one persons opinion who loved him just for his talent.
He had to waste his natural Birmingham accent and put an Jamaican one on to even be famous. I understand that all reggae singers want to sound as authentic as they can but I don't know why can't Red Red Wine, for example, be performed with a Birmingham accent. The same problem with other Brummie singers.

flojo grande
I won't listen to UB40 with Duncan singing. Ali is UB40. I love to listen to his very unique voice
Yeah, the accent he doesn't actually have. I've never heard about a successful Brummie singer who sings with a Brummie accent.
@@AeeeIOUYmost people don't sing with an accent...

We love UB40!!😁😎😊👍
I didn'r know he came from a musical background. Thanks for uploading.
Ali's voice is like warm sweet milk. It's everything.
Would you ride him?
My cousin Teresa loved reggae music she lived in Sparks Brook Brimingham
Ali grew up with black people and they did a good job!
We all grew up under Marleys teachings?
Many still live by them, all now!
Respect to them all!

So why doesn't he sound like that in any of his songs?
Don’t lower yourself Ali you don’t need to
