Ian Dury didn’t have things like the height, a velvety clean voice, the looks, or even near perfect health to make him an ideal rock star. However, the dude more than made up for it in attitude, heart, and intelligence.
I grew up in the Cleveland,Ohio area..we did get Ian Dury & Blockheads.. Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll was kind of like local Anthem..lol Talking to some friends the only Madness song we knew about or was even played was "Our House".. We were robbed.
seen madness live at the house of fun weekender fantastic band and so was ian suggs and the boys done a tribute ti ian and it was well recieved RIP ian you will live on in music in soul and in our minds
Ahhh, seeing Ian pull up at 2:49 to get some water and clear his throat makes you realise just what it was he was pouring into his performances by then. Great man.
Its really a shame how us "yanks" were robbed of Madness and Ian Dury, although not as much. We only were allowed a one hit wonder from MADNESS Glad their is You Tube..And Rest in Peace Mr. Love Pants.

Buy didn't he write some remarkable lyrics.
Madness with Sir Ian Dury....It doesn't get any cooler than that. Just wish I new about this when it came out.
His voice is great for this song too. It's like a Guy Ritchie movie.
Hi voice never changed and neither will his legendary status
Two of my faves....Dury & Madness 👍👍👍
finest bassist n drummer combo ever ...FACT ! ...
Fact.
Ooh, that's a big call. Even in genre and era, The Specials' Brad and Horace are at the very least "in the conversation".
RIP Ian
Grew up with your fantastic music....30 years on i still play it!

Thank you so much..
Blockheads were the better of the 2 :P I like Madness too, but Ian was something special!
Blockheads were a huge influence on M.
Totally awesome.
Lovely
Fucking amazing Song! The music video? MAGIC!!!
It's live... but I'm glad I wasn't the mixer!

This is quite a performance😃.Ian Dury’s last one😕.

The ultimate collaboration?
Wow
Chas Smash
Capos!!!
last of the propper english
Right. As you misspell "Last", "proper" and "English". At least you got 2 out of 5 words right. . smFh.....
There's two singers on either side of Ian, which one is Suggs?
thank you very much...if you could give me a link where i can download the the full EP41 that would be awesome!
How can someone die... after singing with Madness ?
Still alive in our hearts!
Always
Hop n jump included
Class!
Ian gone to soon.
I don't think that is just water - I think it is a morphine solution. Ian was in quite a lot of pain by then.
Was about to say he looks every small here, when my dad had terminal cancer he went from a slightly pudgy ruby lad to this.
Suggs playing the woodblock solo?!
Who is the singer in the beige suit to Ian's right?
@stoughton *I would say a bit different styles.
"Ska versus Punk,Rap Rock"? lol*
Nothing "rock" about the Blockheads were punk through and through.

Max .

aller, danser maintenant...
Who's the single knobhead who's marked it down.....
It's 5 now and i am one of those knobheads. Don't like middle aged men singing childish songs.
Was the song about a left-wing populist? It should have been Jeremy Corbyn’s anthem.
Ian ok, rest of the singing pretty horrible
Pauvre George !
