Told you you whould love it .THE STORY BEHIND THIS SONG IS UNBELIEVABLE.THE ORIGINAL ARTIST LORD CREATOR.HAD NO MONEY SO UB40 ASKED IF THEY CHOULD RELEASE IT AND THEY GAVE ALL THE MONEY TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY SOTHEY CHOULD PURCHASE A HOUSE.
Not exactly how it went. Although royalties did enable him to buy houses for family. There were disputed claims as to authorship and ownership of the song. But the UB40 single definitely got him out of a real tight spot. Lots of details here. jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20140504/ent/ent5.html
they did that for a lot of Jamaican artist who were especially screwed over by island record- labour of love 2 was produced for that main purpose. Watch the Harder They Come shows how it really was for Jamaican artists getting hits abroad but still penniless
We have seen UB40 3 times in concert, they are a GREAT live band. Miss ya Astro and Brian, RIP guys and thanks for all the great music and fun times.🤟🏼
Ub40 are from my hometown Birmingham UK, they are a multiracial group. Ali campbell (singer) has just done a charity single for coronavirus/nhs. Kingston Town is by far their best one. ☺️
The group is actually multi-racial. There’s 2 Rasta’s, a mixed race guy and the rest are White. A very popular thing back in the UK around late 70s/early 80s. Great times! 😎 Edit: The band has split into 2 separate groups now, and the Campbell brothers (lead singers) don’t speak anymore. It’s so sad!
Mason Antonijevic What are you talking about? They are both alive and kicking! 🤨 Believe me, if one of them died it would be all over the News in the UK.
I've been watching Jay's videos since the lockdowns of 2020 (I would swear that he was sent to cheer us up) but how his face lit up during this is his reward,
UB40 are mixed race, forgotten how much I love this band! This is a cover version but most of UB40s were I think. Ali the lead singer left the band about 12 years ago after falling out with the management, his brother took over the singing, a couple of months ago he unfortunately had a stroke but is said to be doing well.Ali is singing this
UB40 are from my home city, we used to watch them perform regularly, they got their name from the unemployment form that was used to sign on, so glad you got to watch this
@@vivennestevens9280 They did 4 cover song albums. All called Labour of Love, 1, 2, 3 and 4, but they also made about 20 albums of their own music. I would argue their covers are better than the originals.
Bro there is so many good UB40 songs out there I recommend you just listen to a best of album. Growing up in New Zealand this was my favorite band as child so much great memories ♥️👍
Reggae calms people down with its sound. How I would have loved to have seen Bob Marley in 1980 in Dortmund/Germany in the famous "Rockpalast". All of Europe watched at that time
UB40 does have two brothers and were really popular in the Uk had so many hits in the charts I saw them live at MK bowl they were awesome always been a fan . Great review x
Amazing how you get a preconception of what a group would be like live in concert. For ages I waited for Madness to come to town. Fun image, boring concert. A week later UB40 turn up. I wasn't sure what I would get. One of the best concerts I ever went to. Must have had 20 musicians on stage and all were pure entertainment.
J💝Y you’ve got to listen to their first album “signing off” Its my favourite. UB40 was named after a form/card in the 70’s and 80’s you got when you signed on to receive unemployment benefits off the government. The whole band were unemployed hence then name. The album was named signing off because they were earring money from their music and came off benefits.
i loved ub40 since i was a young kid my mother had the VHS tapes and i watched them over and over again i feel so blessed that i could watch them 2 times in concert where they where still together.
The first time I heard UB40 I was in my friend's house and he gave me earphones and played present arms. I thought the singer was black. My god I fell in love with these guys. AMAZING 👏.
Go to Jamaica in the 1960s and you'll find lots of Jamaican artists covering the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Fast forward 20 years and young British acts are covering Jamaican music from the 60s and 70s. Isn't music amazing?
🎵 Don't forget, John Lester Nash Jr. (August 19, 1940 - October 6, 2020), known as Johnny Nash, was an American reggae and pop music singer-songwriter, best known in the United States for his 1972 hit, "I Can See Clearly Now". He was one of the first non-Jamaican singers to record reggae music in Kingston, Jamaica. 🎵
I love UB40 since I was a kid! The Elvis Presley cover “can’t help myself falling in love” is also one of my favs by UB40! You might wanna check out too Tash Sultana | Jungle She recorded it in her bedroom (more than 80 million views)
My fav ub40 song this and cant help falling in love cover by them. But this original just gripped me and pulled me into this place and its quite transcending . Loved your reaction!
Enjoy listening to this song Kingston town. The singer had a smooth sweet voice. First time hearing it, will listen to it again. Good choice for your reaction. 👍🏼💕
Hello mulatanyc really you never heard before till this video?🤔 I had always listen to this song close to 20 years ago when I first heard it on the greatest hits by ub40 👍
_Some great UB40 tracks:_ Homely Girl Groovin' If It Happens Again Wedding Day Don't Break My Heart Rat In Mi Kitchen Impossible Love Cherry Oh Baby One in Ten The Way You Do the Things You Do
UB40 were school friends in Birmingham..Ali is the youngest Campbell brother. Their covers are a homage to some of their favourite songs back in '70's in the clubs n pins here in UK. I first saw them live in late 70's gigging at a Student Union Bar at Keele University. Ali and Earl Falconer, keyboard, split, Astro followed when the original group released a country album. Brian Travers, sax player usually does the talking until he has surgery for brain tumors seeing him miss their 40th Anniversay tour .
Congrats on the 100k...well done you deserve it. Your a lovely and play loads of awesome tunes. Love UB40, so many great tunes. Anyone you choose you'll love. 👍
I have not heard this song in 30 years. It wasn't really one of my favorites back then, but today I'm listening to it again fresh and growing fond of it.
As a suggestion also listen to The earth dies screaming absolutely brilliant . Congrats on the 100k, well deserved, here's to 200k by this time next year if not sooner.
Yeh loved their music and still do... But went to see em and was well disappointed.... First of all they were all so fat they wobbled onto the stage and then fu#k me the music was louder then the vocals..... Good job we knew all the words!
That is awesome that you were born in Kingston Town. I've always wanted to go to Jamaica. Preferably Kingston Town and Port Royal where pirates used to hang out. This song and Groovin' were always my favorite from UB40
One of my favorite artists, Toots Hibberts, died very recently. He's a Jamaica singer who actually coined the word "reggae"! Check out "54-46 Was My Number" or "Sweet and Dandy". Really, you will be so happy you listened!
FUCK!!! I DIDN'T KNOW TOOT'S HAD DIED THE FIRST TIME I SAW TOOTS I WAS almost 13 YEAR'S OLD 1983 the last time was 2004 both in Aotearoa New Zealand. who hasn't covered song's by TOOT'S ?

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE? There's NO JUSTICE !!!AXLE ROSE is still alive most of acdc Robbie Williams and there still grinding out total ASSVOMIT !!!WHY? IT'S NOT FAIR they should be in the ground and not six feet under no at least 24 feet under ground cause deep down they might not be so bad
@@heathcornbeef You have truly been blessed, my friend! So many amazing experiences..I was so sad to hear about Toots. He was performing regularly right up until his illness got the better of him. I think it was covid... Such a loving man, it kind of makes sense that he would be exposed. Some of the best music in the world, though!

I am feeling it myself as I was listening to Aerosmith "DON'T WANNA MISS A THING" AND read the news about Eddie Van Halen. sad to hear but I will remember him and all his contributions over the past 40 + years. R.I.P. EVH 10/6/2020 TWO THUMPS UP TO YOU my brother !!
this song was my mums favorite, when she passed i shed no tears out of anger, but time passes, hearing it now, this old man can finally say goodbye, love you mum
what a great tribute to a great band,back in the days they where mocked for not being a "real reggae" band yet they covered some of the greatest artist of reggae.and the did them justice! :) fathers of reggae is a great album.
I perform in a UB40 tribute band here in the UK called UB42. At times we are very privileged to have the actual UB40 horn section come and join us for a play. However, as with most UB40 songs, after the signing off album, this and many others after are covers that were originally produced by original artists. To be fair to them, they actually shared their royalties with those original artists in question, where as before the Jamaican record labels had ripped them off! ... Kingston Town was originally by The Lord Creator in 1970
I absolutely love UB40, some of my favourites are Kingston Town and Impossible Love but there's just so many great ones, Crying time, Homely Girl, Getting over the storm
So many great tracks, you can't go wrong with any of them. My ultimate favourite is Where did I Go Wrong, other family members are Higher Ground, Many Rivers to Cross, 1 in 10, Don't Break My Heart, Grooving, Here I Am, Bring Me Your Cup.... And so So many more.
Their best song? That's very debatable. They had tons of hits: - Sing Our Own Song (the full 7 minute song) - I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (with Robert Palmer) - Where Did I Go Wrong - If It Happens Again - Rat In Mi Kitchen - Maybe Tomorrow - Here I Am Baby - Come Out To Play - I Got You Babe (with Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders) - Reckless (with Afrika Bambaataa) - Homely Girl - Many Rivers To Cross - Cherry Oh Baby
Would love to see you react to some reggae that was popular in the UK from around the time. Things like Sugar Minott - Good Thing Going , Janet Kay - Silly Games, Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs, You Don't Love Me - Dawn Penn - Greetings - Half Pint. And groups like Aswad and Steel Pulse. I've a feeling you'd like them.

Love love love ub40 this is my most favourite song by them I'm dancing round listening to it !!!!!!
I'm with you there my friend what a quality quality song.
Ub40 are from my hometown Birmingham UK, they are a multiracial group. Ali campbell (singer) has just done a charity single for coronavirus/nhs. Kingston Town is by far their best one. ☺️
I'm so proud to be from the same city as this band man. Gotta be some of my favourite music of all time.
The group is actually multi-racial.
There’s 2 Rasta’s, a mixed race guy and the rest are White.
A very popular thing back in the UK around late 70s/early 80s. Great times! 😎
Edit: The band has split into 2 separate groups now, and the Campbell brothers (lead singers) don’t speak anymore. It’s so sad!
Aswad, dont turn around, brilliant
Lin703 Yeah, Aswad were great too!
One of my favourite bands
The campbell brothers don't speak anymore because the younger brother died of Cancer.
Mason Antonijevic What are you talking about?
They are both alive and kicking! 🤨
Believe me, if one of them died it would be all over the News in the UK.
The way your face lit up when this one got going... Priceless!
I've been watching Jay's videos since the lockdowns of 2020 (I would swear that he was sent to cheer us up) but how his face lit up during this is his reward,
Great band, from my home town of Birmingham, like E. L. O and black sabbath moody blues and many more, love it.
It’s really fitting that your first reaction is to Kingston on your celebration day. Reggae = home ♥️
Bob marley legends
@@judicaelrodrigues6767 yes! 💯❤️
I love UB40 and I had a pleasure to see them in concert 2 year's ago in birmingham UK. Amazing ❤️
Ali Campbell has such an amazing voice 💖
Can't lie love UB40. Yes they are brothers and still gong strong today. Please do I in 10. Such a good Jay. Great choice great reaction. Pukka 😊😊💖💕💖
The brothers are not "still going" as such,they are in two different versions of UB40
@@normandavidtidiman9918 in a band together or different ones they are still going are they not. But thanks 👍
Check out UB40 singing "Food for Thought" or "Many Rivers to Cross".
My favorite is "burden of shame"
Come back darling.....
Tyler, moving...
Love many rivers to cross. Check out the Jimmy cliff one too
UB40 are mixed race, forgotten how much I love this band! This is a cover version but most of UB40s were I think. Ali the lead singer left the band about 12 years ago after falling out with the management, his brother took over the singing, a couple of months ago he unfortunately had a stroke but is said to be doing well.Ali is singing this
Jemma James the Labour of Love series of Albums which included this track(Labour of love 2)were covers albums.
Jemma UB40 have made several cover albums but they have also made around 20 other original studio albums check them out.
Never get tired of UB40 - 'King' is my personal fav, but love almost everything else they did as well
I lived few doors down from Ally Cambel in moseley!!
UB40 was my favourite band, love the reggie sound to their music, any song made you dance and sway to the music.
I saw UB40 live in concert in 1994 in Aruba where I was born, they were amazing!!
UB40 is the shit. From their originals to their cover songs. And they're great live. Dope reaction bro 💯💯
UB40 are from my home city, we used to watch them perform regularly, they got their name from the unemployment form that was used to sign on, so glad you got to watch this
Absolutely loved this band in the 80s. It's a mixed group band.
They are celebrating in Kingston town! 100K!
You need to watch the video.all ub40s families are in it .BRILLIANT VIDEO
The energy at Ub40 concerts is something to be experienced Jay! Rat in Mi Kitchen is a good one..so many.
'Rat in me kitchen' is by The Beat!
Yes saw them in Australia a year and a half ago, they were amazing! Anyone who sees them has to see the band with Ali and Astro, they’re the best.
@@jamespasifull3424 UB 40 does Rat in Mi Kitchen too
Saw them so many times in the day... Each concert was perfection.
@@jamespasifull3424 Dont think so, 1986 sung by UB40.
Watching this young guy enjoy this track from my youth made me smile : )
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND subscribers!
That's so incredible. You deserve it my friend. Congrats!!
I've watched this many times, not only because I love UB40 but I love your positive vibe. All the best wishes to you mate and thanks.
Now you have to react to their version of Can't Help Falling in Love!
One of my favorite tunes! So good to see that big smile on your face that you couldn't wipe off even if you tried.
Always loved UB40 and was lucky enough, years ago, to walk into a club in Bridgetown and find them performing live👏👏👏👏Fab
Check out a great regae song by them called Homley Girl.
Not the original
Live this one as well, so manny great hits! They are still touring (separately) too bad, nothing like the originals!
The original is really good to

This song is like my family anthem. It gets played at every family weddings, funerals, christenings and birthdays lol. 👍♥️

Yay, this is one of my fave UB40 tracks, Jayvee!
Mine too! 😊
Greatest two songs in my humble opinion was The Earth dies screaming and One in Ten from UB40 x
Their early stuff, that they wrote themselves was definitely their best stuff. Love the old reggae covers, but you still can't beat the originals.
I love Reggae.
57 and always loved it.
Great beat and easy to listen to.
It starts your feet and fingers goingand you dance all the way.
Reggae calms people down with its sound. How I would have loved to have seen Bob Marley in 1980 in Dortmund/Germany in the famous "Rockpalast". All of Europe watched at that time

Their signing off was one of the best albums. Saw them in the 80s and had booked to see them this year...have to be next (hopefully)
There's a new band just come out called 'Where Is My Universal Credit'
I like early UB40 best....The Earth Dies Screaming is a great cover track by them. 👍
Yes the first 4 or 5 albums are their best with the old school eighties sound.
Not to mention Food for Thought and KIng
What do you mean "cover" track ?
My favorite from UB40. Brings back memories. Thanks for choosing this song.
I Got You Babe, a duet cover of Sonny and Cher he did with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. Her voice rocks too!
So proud of our diversity Blessings from the UK 🙏🙏
Love this, reminds me of my teenage years, many rivers to cross, homely girl, bring me your cup, blue eyes crying in the rain
i loved ub40 since i was a young kid my mother had the VHS tapes and i watched them over and over again i feel so blessed that i could watch them 2 times in concert where they where still together.
UB40: "I can't help falling in love with you"...great cover
UB40 is the best! Concerts are a dancefest! 💖
My favourite UB40 song has to be “Don’t break my Heart” but this is a lovely one.
one of my favourite bands and from my home city Birmingham
The first time I heard UB40 I was in my friend's house and he gave me earphones and played present arms. I thought the singer was black. My god I fell in love with these guys. AMAZING 👏.

@@heathcornbeef You have truly been blessed, my friend! So many amazing experiences..I was so sad to hear about Toots. He was performing regularly right up until his illness got the better of him. I think it was covid... Such a loving man, it kind of makes sense that he would be exposed. Some of the best music in the world, though!

@@heathcornbeef I hear you, Heath..3 or 4 of my idols are getting up there in years and I am just dreading the day I turn on the news and they're doing a retrospective on one...

Congratulations on 100K but sad cuz Eddie Van Halen passed away today 😭😭😭
Yeah I saw may he rip
I am feeling it myself as I was listening to Aerosmith "DON'T WANNA MISS A THING" AND read the news about Eddie Van Halen. sad to hear but I will remember him and all his contributions over the past 40 + years. R.I.P. EVH 10/6/2020 TWO THUMPS UP TO YOU my brother !!
Love UB40. Dance,move, shuffle, repeat!
this song was my mums favorite, when she passed i shed no tears out of anger, but time passes, hearing it now, this old man can finally say goodbye, love you mum
UB40 Have so many great tracks and albums probably one of the best bands to come out of Britain at that time.
💖💕💝🌹🎶🥲👏🏽🇦🇺Love this song took me right back down memory lane! Very natural reaction thank you 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
what a great tribute to a great band,back in the days they where mocked for not being a "real reggae" band
yet they covered some of the greatest artist of reggae.and the did them justice! :)
fathers of reggae is a great album.
Love your Queen shirt 🤗my favorite songs from UB40 🇯🇲
I perform in a UB40 tribute band here in the UK called UB42. At times we are very privileged to have the actual UB40 horn section come and join us for a play. However, as with most UB40 songs, after the signing off album, this and many others after are covers that were originally produced by original artists. To be fair to them, they actually shared their royalties with those original artists in question, where as before the Jamaican record labels had ripped them off! ... Kingston Town was originally by The Lord Creator in 1970
This song gives a smile on your face,...pure
I absolutely love UB40, some of my favourites are Kingston Town and Impossible Love but there's just so many great ones, Crying time, Homely Girl, Getting over the storm
My sister loves UB40. Has several records and albums.
Saw ub40 at finsbury park london.. sic vibes love all there tracks 😊
Alllll or if not👆 most of ub40 songs are fricken 🔥🔥🔥 bruh. Luv Ali cambell and his beautiful voice! There is no other❣
Ub40 I cant help falling in love with you.. is the name of the song you must react brother
So many great tracks, you can't go wrong with any of them. My ultimate favourite is Where did I Go Wrong, other family members are Higher Ground, Many Rivers to Cross, 1 in 10, Don't Break My Heart, Grooving, Here I Am, Bring Me Your Cup.... And so So many more.
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen a legendary guitarist and performer. UB 40 rocks!
Great song!! On a somewhat related notes, you gotta check out “The Israelites” by Desmond Dekker!
Fantastic song. Anything on Trojan records is great.
Can wait for Jovaughan to hear that one
I preferred 'It miek', by DD
An early Monster of the genre
That's a belter
O wow wow I love that song,it's so beautiful I love how you react to musick with so much emotion ,love to watch you,your a real man bless !!!!
Their best song? That's very debatable. They had tons of hits:
- Sing Our Own Song (the full 7 minute song)
- I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (with Robert Palmer)
- Where Did I Go Wrong
- If It Happens Again
- Rat In Mi Kitchen
- Maybe Tomorrow
- Here I Am Baby
- Come Out To Play
- I Got You Babe (with Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders)
- Reckless (with Afrika Bambaataa)
- Homely Girl
- Many Rivers To Cross
- Cherry Oh Baby
I'll be your baby tonight was always one of my favourites.
@@potaka79 Yes, it's great. And I don't see it mentioned very often. It seems to be somewhat forgotten.
You forgot to include the song Watchdogs.
Johnny Too Bad 🔥
Would love to see you react to some reggae that was popular in the UK from around the time. Things like Sugar Minott - Good Thing Going , Janet Kay - Silly Games, Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs, You Don't Love Me - Dawn Penn - Greetings - Half Pint. And groups like Aswad and Steel Pulse. I've a feeling you'd like them.
