    RIP Terry Hall, who died today. Another 80s legend who left us far too early. Hearing this great song reminds me what great music the youth of that time could make. Losing him and Jet Black from The Stranglers just a few days previously reminds me that whilst the 80s was in some ways an era of darkness it also brought about some fantastic groundbreaking music by a generation inspired by punk but with a lot more sophistication. I was at school during the 2 tone/ska revival of the early 80s and I remember the music being haunting and memorable. At his best Terry was a naturally talented singer and songwriter who overcame a horrific childhood trauma to make great music. He is also the third original member of the groundbreaking Coventry band, The Specials, to die (after John Bradbury and Rico Rodriguez).

      All decades are in some way a dark era. Certainly anybody who truly remembers the '70s would say the same. And '80s music was inspired by ska and all sorts of other music, as well as being influenced by music technology pure inspiration of its musicians, just as in any other decade. You only need to listen to Terry's music. He was a genius.

    Terry Hall wrote this when he was 21 with Jane Wiedlin. Compare that to the auto tuned Simon Cowell clones, and it's wonderful.
    I'm shocked that he's died - far too soon. He affected so many of us, and the music stays with us.
    Thank you Terry.

    For those that don't know, Terry Hall had a fling with Jane Wiedlin from The Go Go's when they were on tour together. He wrote this song about them and their secret relationship (Terry had a girlfriend back then), then sent the lyrics to Jane, who worked on the music. That's why both bands recorded it, and came out a couple of years apart. Both songs were hits on opposite sides of the Atlantic. (Go Go's hit #20 in US, #3 in Canada, and FBT 's version peaked at #7 in UK). Gotta love that a story like this was told by both sides, albeit in different styles.
    Edit: RIP Terry Hall... what a legacy you leave behind; you will be missed! 😢

    One of the best songs of the 80's, still stands the test of time and far better than the original Go-Go's version. RIP indeed Terry. 💗💗

      The GoGo's kinda weren't the original. Fun Boy Three and GoGo's recorded simultaneous versions. Jane and Terry wrote it together. Both versions are originals.

    RIP Terry Hall, thank you for your amazing music. I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the early 80's I grew up listening to music as good as this.... You have left a hole in our lives your ability to right music reflecting on what was going on at a specific time still is amazing to me.... You live on through your music. We your fans will never forget the difference you made to our lives..... RIP
