The ext original song the perform will be their first. I do like their sound in general and own several comps and CDs but you can't possibly think of including this faux-gae band in when originals like TOOTS, Tosh, legendary 60's pop-reggae star, Johnny Nash, to name a few Jamaican kings.

Rest in Peace Terence Wilson, better known within the group as Astro, UB40 vocalist, 1957-2021.

UB40 is a good enough reggae band. Other than Red Red Wine, they have other brilliant covers like Can't Help Falling In Love, Kingston Town, I Got You Babe, and Here I Am (Come Take Me), as well as their actual original songs, such as Food For Thought, Sing Our Own Song, Higher Ground, One In Ten, and If It Happens Again. Plz put them in Hall of Fame.
