Musician Terry Hall, who helped create one of the defining sounds of post-punk Britain as lead singer of The Specials, has died. He was 63.
Musician Terry Hall of The Specials performs on the Main Stage, at the Isle of Wight Festival in Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight, England, on June 14, 2014.
Hall joined the band that would become The Specials in the English Midlands city of Coventry in the late 1970s, a time of racial tension, economic gloom and urban unrest. With its mix of Black and white members and Jamaica-influenced style of sharp suits and porkpie hats, the band became leaders of the anti-racist 2 Tone ska revival movement.
Hall later formed The Colourfield and collaborated with artists including The Go-Go's – co-writing the group's 1981 debut single,"Our Lips Are Sealed."Advertisement"Our extremely brief romance resulted in the song Our Lips Are Sealed, which will forever tie us together in music history. Terrible news to hear this," she wrote on Twitter.
