As someone from UB40's hometown of Birmingham, I can confirm that there is a point in basically any house party at which the likelihood of Red Red Wine being played becomes 1:1, and also that almost all people my parents age have stories about meeting various members of the band at gigs or pubs or whatever.

@DavidMichaelCommer 2 жыл бұрын

@@radicaladz I'm not criticizing a Birmingham accent; I was just asking whether his singing is reflective of a Birmingham accent or if it has a different affectation. I'm American and I'm not suggesting anything pejorative about Birmingham or the people from there because I don't know any stereotypes about Birmingham or the people from there. We are not generally exposed here to stereotypes British people have of people from different regions, with the exception of Cockney speakers and 'posh' RP speakers. Otherwise, Americans are largely ignorant of regional British stereotypes, so rest assured that I am not applying any stereotypes to people from your hometown. The only knowledge I have about different regions and their dialects, sadly, comes from a few KZfaq videos I've seen, the Great British Bake Off and RuPaul's Drag Race UK-both those reality shows consciously cast people from throughout the UK and they sometimes discuss different regional stereotypes.

If you'll want to check out some old school reggae, check out Desmond Dekker "Israelites", Bob Marley "Kinky Reggae" and I think a good first stop you will love is Jimmy Cliff "Many Rivers to Cross", "Sitting in Limbo ", "The Harder They Come." As other people have said, it influenced a lot of other bands in the 70s and 80s, like The Clash "Police and Thieves", "Guns of Brixton", The Specials "A Message to You Rudy" and "Gangsters", and the Police who are practically a blue-eyed reggae band "Message in a Bottle", "Roxanne", "Walking on the Moon", "Invisible Sun" (about the Irish Troubles). Also check out Musical Youth "Pass the Dutchie".

Saw UB40 when they opened for Fleetwood Mac many years ago ... they had a full brass band and when their set ended, the crowd kept trying to bring them back ... many of audience left after 3-4 Fleetwood songs ... when we left there was a huge party in the parking area with doors open radios blasting UB40 ... The brass band songs were unbelievable, they were so tight and in sync ... it remains probably my best musical experiences from a "quality of sound" stand point. Most of the best recordings of these have been when they segued several songs together or when played with another musical performer as was done with I Got You Babe with Crissie Hynde from the Pretenders. For the song covered in this video Red red Wine, the "Extended Version" (5:22) or RRW with the rap section repeating lines from a child nursery rhyme (... the line broke, the monkey got chocked) is the one I think Rob will enjoy more as it the beat here is a bit faster and more lively. The song has been performed at many beats slow and fast over the years and while I can't say they were ever popular... everyone knows who that are when a song comes on ... everybody knows it even if they can't remember the band name. This is somewhat odd i na sense that the released over 20 albums , not including many more compilation albums, that sold over 70 million copies sold. The were most often classified, especially early on as a "ska" band covering a wide variety of musical styles, most all with a reggae flow. My personal favs are Please Don't Make Me Cry, I got You Babe, I Can't help Falling In Love With You, Kingston Town, Red Red Wine, One in 10* , The Way you do the Things You Do, Here I Am (Come And Take Me), Cherry Oh Baby, Sing Our Own Song, If It Happens Again I'm Leaving , MI Spliff, Hip hop lyrical robot (have to find right recording) Please Don't Break My Heart, I'm singling out for Rob. Rat in Mi Kitchen, I'm singling out for Amber ... Psst not about a kitchen or a rat :) * One in ten is a reference to their name UB40 being the form you fill out to get unemployment benefits and 1 in 10 being the % of people in UK receiving them.

Massive hit in the UK at the time band went on to create some brilliant records & the covers they did always had a great twist to them. This was originally written & performed by Neil Diamond (another great performer) UB40 version toolkit to another level topping the UK charts. RIP Astro you will be remembered for your contribution to the great reggae band.

First😘I have loved UB40 since I was a child in the late 70’s early 80’s. This particular song has a place in my heart, a friend who I loved dearly was murdered in 1989 and this is the song he sang all the time. Always in my heart Robin🙏🏻♥️Great reaction guys, UB40 are from Birmingham in England and brought reggae into the forefront of the British public. Thankfully!😎🇯🇲

I loved their early work, this is where they turned more mainstream/commercial. Not hating them though, they supported a lot of families with their succes. UB40 was the form they had to fill out to apply for Unemployment Benefits. Late seventies/early eighties were tough economically in the UK. Not sure if they all met at the unemployment office or if that's just an urban legend

UB40's main claim to fame, at least in the U.S. was doing reggae covers of popular songs. This one was originally recorded by Neil Diamond. If you want to get into more reggae, you have to check out Peter Tosh, who was a bandmate of Bob Marley in The Wailers. "You Never Miss Your Water," and "I Am That I Am" are two greats from him.

UB40 is a fun reggae group from the UK. You listened to the shortened version without the breakdown and you are missing out. Other songs that are even better, are Here I am Baby, and their Elvis cover of I can’t help falling in love, and The way you do the things you do. They even cover the Police’s Every Breath you take.

It’s one of the songs that contributed to my adolescence. The keyboard player is releasing his memoir. UB40 is the unemployment form in England, what they call going on the dole. They’re a band from Birmingham in England that formed in the late ‘70s.

Written by Neil Diamond in 1966 or 1967. He wrote a lot of good songs for himself and others as well. When this version came out it reintroduced Diamond to another generation.

This came out just 3 years after Diamond had 3 massive hits from The Jazz Singer movie, and 1 year after his big hit 'Heartlight' (inspired by the movie E.T.) - I think that generation already knew him pretty well. 🙂

UB40 are from Birmingham, UK. The name is from the form Unemployment Benefit 40 and all the members were unemployed before they became famous. They have an extensive catalogue of music. Check out another cover they did which is “I got you babe” by Sonny & Cher with Christie Hynde of the Pretenders.
