    British chart music in the 70’s & 80’s was a lot more social commenty than music now. And I miss that.

    Great choice. This is a live version, fairly close to the studio version. When I saw them perform, I was singing along to this one ...LOUD!

    British post punk era. A 60's mod revival was happening and along with it came the 2Tone lable and the British Ska bands.
    Check out The Selector, The Beat and early Madness.

      We're Canadian. And we do like The Specials. And thanks to this channel, we've learned more and more about them. The AMERICAN market we're exposed to didn't push them very hard in the 80's, when we grew up. AND, they were most popular before we were teens. We love that we're learning what we missed as kids, though, thanks to all these lovely people we met on this channel.
