I loved the vocal style of Terry Hall but I can see how it might jar to those unfamiliar with it. One thing I liked about the Two-Tone genre was how the singers sang in their own accents. The wellspring of this musical scene in the 80s was working class and the vocal style really reflected that. There are so many other great groups from this scene whose music has stood the test of time but The Specials were exactly that - Special.
I've said it a few times in videos and on other platforms, but you really need to listen to the Specials live recordings rather than the studio ones. It's a completely different experience! It's a shame that during the artist spotlight the only live recording has been Too Much Too Young - which is an absolute must tbf. I imagine you've already don't all your Specials reactions now, but if not, give Concrete Jungle or Do The Dog live recordings a whirl.
