Terry Hall from The Specials has died. Only 63. RIP grumpy guy.
Shit. Saw them play in Brixton only a few years ago.
Was a 'complicated' bloke for sure. Carried a lot of baggage from his youth and a sexual assault as described in a Fun Boy Three song.
Terry Hall was the self-assured eye of the Specials storm
As the pioneering 2 Tone band’s lead singer, Hall’s impassive style made him a star – and helped him weather the vicissitudes of fame, the changing charts and British decline

Poos, my cuzzie introduced me to faithless, great memories and some awesome, original, cutting music
EDIT: just went for run, with my normal random play all the songs on my phone - after the current song finished (I stopped last time half way through) this was next - MY FAVE FAITHLESS!

@Victor-Meldrew Just saw clips of him here and there but outside of his game, his infectious smile has to be one of the best. I did not realize that his country designated him a national treasure so that he could not leave Brazil to play in Europe. Wouldn't fly these days but maybe his country's league was the best around in the day. Hard to compare to these days greats but he was not a flopper, which is refreshing. 3 world cups, born in poverty, fantastic player. What is there not to like. RIP
