The lead singer of The Specials, Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield (and many more musical collaborations) has died at the age of 63. The Specials remain the greatest Ska band ever IMO and A Message to you Rudy is in my top 20 of all-time. They managed to tap into the general mood of the country at the time and perfectly sum up the public feeling with songs like Ghost Town. He also managed at one point to go out with Jane Wiedlin and they co-wrote Our Lips are Sealed which both of them would record with their bands. He was famous for his deadpan delivery and very rarely smiled but he was a hell of a frontman and although I was too young to appreciate his glory days as it happened, his music still manages to send a shiver down my spine. RIP

Heard about it in Radio 6 this morning.
Really sucks.
I grew up listening to stuff like Madness and the Specials.
R.I.P Terry.
