  • Went through some recordings of old Pinkpop performances from 1983 which were broadcasted last summer.
    Ran into this Specials classic "Gangsters" performed by the Fun Boy Three.
    I liked the Specials when I was a teenager.
    I thought I better share it. Enjoy it.

    His smile at the crowd reaction at the beginning. Terry Hall will be missed.

    It was nice to see his smile at the beginning of the song. Never one known for smiling often, even by his own admission. Better a rare heartfelt genuine smile, than a constant vacuous grin like some. What has been conveyed by him over the years in interviews and performances is a testament to his sincerity. He is sadly missed by many.

    1983 was the best year in music and dancing for the 80s. I think that smile in the beginning was the reaction of someone who had the same look as the 1st album cover.

    Terry Hall
    I heard the news
    At 4.30 a.m. exactly
    I knew it would hurt
    And it did so badly
    A voice that blew away the fluff of the 80’s
    A sincere stare
    And words that were rich and plenty
    I heard the news
    At 4.30 a.m. exactly
    I knew it would hurt
    And it did so badly
    An honesty that left you feeling less alone
    A life of pain
    etched in words that could have been my own
    I heard the news
    At 4.30 a.m. exactly
    I knew it would hurt
    And it did so badly
    I heard your voice
    And it rings in my head so beautifully
    I know it will stay, in the echo chamber
    Of my memory

    The first Fun Boy Three album is kinda genius. Super lo fi and really odd. It sold loads in the uk circa 82.
    One could say people were buying any old shit back then but it’s really good.
