What Legends Ub40 are still play their songs & im 63years old I remember this single I still have it on vinyl double A side with food for thought on the other side love this & M L King many blessings.
One of the best tracks ever from Ub40 ,2022 still makes me shiver when i think back to my youth and playing this with alot of people who are now sadly gone/ time waits for no man x
Difficult for me to choose my fav UB 40 track, i have a slight leaning for "I'll be your baby tonight" as it features the late, great Robert Palmer, (like many taken way too early) !!

IT WAS NOT THE COLOUR OF HIS SKIN WHICH MADE PEOPLE SIT UP AND LISTEN TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, IT WAS THE POWER AND HONESTY OF HIS WORDS WHICH GRABBED YOUR ATTENTION AND WHICH MADE HIM ARE RARE HUMAN BEING AND SADLY THE MAN WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE EXHIBITED A RARE QUALITY, HE CARED ABOUT OTHERS, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR SKIN COLOUR.

You can not touch early doors UB40 they were unique, heartfelt and songs with meaning still awesome as decades go by and i love their other songs too but the earlier songs really hit you big style.
Love this song so so much 💗 growing up in Brixton London, I had no idea, what the song truly meant, I just could hear it playing all the time , from different floors from the block of flats i grew up in , a very ruff estate, but we all had love and respect for each other, some how we have lost the love , and it brings tears to my eyes, were is the sole were is the love , remember people we are one , we bleed the same we hurt the same, we are only human, one love
I grew up in a very tough part of Glasgow in the 80s, We were skint and time were tough but at least we had a community spirit which is completely dead now, A lot more money kicking about these days but I’d swap the cash for the former in an instant.
As a boy in the eighties this was all over Birmingham. Staying with my grandmother in west ham house chelmsley wood I would listen to this album constantly. Such great days. As the years have gone on and I've gotten older I hold onto this music for dear life as I now hate my life .
Keep holding on to your life and this music brother,times change,life moves on,but believe in yourself brother,never hate yourself,and dont let life make you hate yourself,BELIEVE ❤
I love my home life and wife but everyday outside is a struggle, there is so much latent nastiness out there. Work places put anti bullying signs up !!!

I think , this track and when it was released was in step with the petition (begun in 1978) in the USA for Martin Luther king Day. I believe it was inaugurated 1986 (I was listening to BBC radio 4 , last night .). Reagan and the house of representatives were against it, as it grouped together some grating concepts of US history. Stevie Wonder also released a song (I think 1983.) to commemorate Reagan agreeing (Nov 1983) to ratify the holiday. But , these Brits were way ahead of the game.
I didn't know what this song was about until seeing this, brilliantly done. It is heartbreaking that so many people accept this madhouse world that we live in.
2023 and still tears in my eyes by hearing this song.I played it over and over in my teenage years.Although i am white,i feel the pain,deeper as it ever was😢
I saw Ali at Reggae Land a couple weeks ago and he played this. I wasnt expecting it at all, such an amazing moment. I just wish I could teleport to the 80s and see the full band perform it live then. RIP Astro and Brian 🙏🏿
Classic and so sad that ub40 aint ub40 any more your getting old now brothers sort it out come together show the land again how its done once more rip astro rip brian
2024 now - and don't the words here ring too true. Didn't we think Obama would be able to bring about change? - and watching Harris - the dancing queen - I can fully understand the 'chained and pacified' cry for something better!
He once had a dream it turned into a nightmare, we as his people are nowhere and still under great hatred, Rest. In. power Dr king you fought a good fight, One love Ub 40 music heroes
Loved this song since it was first released. Your video really compliments the song. Also like the interesting notes, comments and information. Thank you.
Yes this is my favourite song from the Signing off LP, it was not until years later, I truly realised what the song's dedication was really about! Remember that Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali were all fighting and campaigning for the civil rights act and let's not forget Rosa Parks got involved because of the death of Emmett Till.
my UB40 got smaller and smaller every time I signed on, first the perforated edge went, then round and round until I reached the writing then the writing slowly got less and less, the 1980s a time of chilling out, wonder if the DHSS would tolerate a signing on card like that nowadays, I doubt it somehow,
We are all chained and pacified today by the rich elite, governments and the WEF . We the people no matter our colour or religion need to stick together and stand up to them like he did .The leaders and Media want is to hate each other so we don’t get too strong and say no more . I can live in hope

why is martin luther king not classed as a marter ? he spoke the words of a saint and wanted peace ,its a shame someone who wanted everyone to get along died ,this is what happens to good hearted people sometimes and that is a sad situation but his words of wisdom last forever
I think this is my favourite ub40 song. I remember playing it on the jukebox back in the day. I was a teenager back then. 62 now
What Legends Ub40 are still play their songs & im 63years old I remember this single I still have it on vinyl double A side with food for thought on the other side love this & M L King many blessings.
Yeah me too I'm 64 and I remember this song hitting the charts in Feb 1980, brilliant song, gosh I'm getting old, happy times.
One of the best tracks ever from Ub40 ,2022 still makes me shiver when i think back to my youth and playing this with alot of people who are now sadly gone/ time waits for no man x
This is Timeless,musically,lyrically this is just a track I can put on and leave on loop all day and never tire of.UB40!👑
same as
I'm there too what a beautiful sound
Difficult for me to choose my fav UB 40 track, i have a slight leaning for "I'll be your baby tonight" as it features the late, great Robert Palmer, (like many taken way too early) !!
First album I bought was 'Signing off ' I'm 58 and it still sends chills and makes me wine up my waist! LUV X
me too
I am now 59 & it was my first ever album as an Xmas gift but still loved, treasured & enjoyed 😉
Try explaining 1980s Britain.. National Front,no jobs,giros and the only escape UB40,Specials,The Beat,Denys,Selector,Madness….

And he died for nothing because NOTHINGS CHANGED
too bad BLM is focused too much on the color of their skin. . .

To think this was recorded in a bedsit in Birmingham along with the rest of Signing Off and My Way of Thinking. RIP Brian Travers & Astro.
When this came out I was a mad punk rocker. Someone put this on at a party and it blew me away.

Signing on and signing off the best albums. I love them. it was the would we came from in the day. always love the stereo, great sound engineers.

MUSIC DOES NOT COME MUCH PURER THAN THIS..........

I’ll be honest, I’m not UB40’s biggest fan but this is a great track, sincerely done.
I never knew the meaning of the song till now and also think it's the best song ever did
So much respect for this man.
2024 now - and don't the words here ring too true. Didn't we think Obama would be able to bring about change? - and watching Harris - the dancing queen - I can fully understand the 'chained and pacified' cry for something better!
Straight back to 1979. Classic.

Outstanding video and song. Well done Mr UBLoonie.
Shame the Campbell don't listen to their own lyrics and find peace themselves.
Money turns a lot of people into being selfish cunts.
Masterpiece !
