I listened to him all through college in the late 80's and could never get his smooth style and incredible voice out of my mind. The Years Go By album is a classic period, nothing else to say.

Panter: The Specials were crumbling making the second album [More Specials, 1980, produced by Dammers]. We divided between those who wanted to stay ska and those, obviously Jerry, who wanted to experiment. Plus, the schedule was so intense. Stimulants around. We were burning ourselves out. Jerry was furious when Neville and Lynval went out and bought BMWs. Roddy came in with a load of power pop songs and Jerry said: “These are awful. Go away and write something better.” So Roddy wrote Rat Race.Nonetheless, Stan always saw himself as a protector. He looked out for his friends and cousins. He said there were known predators in the neighborhoods where he grew up, and he felt a responsibility to prevent young people from being brutalized or abused. At the age of 21, Stan relocated to Oklahoma City where the pace was a little slower, and he met a few police officers that helped change his opinion of those who wear the badge. They told Stan they thought he’d make a great police officer. He talked it over with his family and then walked into his local police recruiting office and filled out an application. He got the job. On 19 December 2022, the Specials announced on social media that Hall had died at age 63 after a brief illness which was later revealed to be pancreatic cancer. They had planned to record a new album in the United States before Hall's health deteriorated.

The Specials led off with Dandy Livingstone's " Rudy, A Message to You" (slightly altering the title to "A Message to You, Rudy") and also had covers of Prince Buster and Toots & the Maytals songs from the late 1960s. In 1980, the EP Too Much Too Young (predominantly credited to the Special A.K.A.) was a No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart, [3] despite controversy over the song's lyrics, which reference teen pregnancy and promote contraception. [10] In 1990, Bradbury, Golding, Panter and Staple teamed up with members of the Beat to form Special Beat, [10] performing the music of the two bands and other ska and Two Tone classics. The group, undergoing many line-up changes, toured and released several live recordings through the 1990s. Pete Waterman (DJ, Locarno club): Coventry had some of the first immigrants from the West Indies. We didn’t have as many racial problems as they had in Birmingham. Dammers: Everything was taking too long and costing too much. By the time we finally had a hit with Free Nelson Mandela, everyone had left the band. I was asked to organise a British branch of Artists Against Apartheid and the festival on Clapham Common drew a quarter of a million people. It was the proudest moment of my life. We performed the song at the Mandela concert at Wembley [1988]. By the second Wembley concert [1990], Mandela had been freed. Hopefully all the 2 Tone and anti-apartheid efforts made some sort of contribution, but there’s still so much to be done. On 1 February 2019, the band announced a spring North American tour to promote the 1 February 2019 release of Encore (out via Island Records). [44] The following week, Encore debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, giving the band their first chart-topping album since 1980. [45] During late 2019, The Specials invited 17-year-old artist and photographer Sterling Chandler to join and photograph the band on the remaining leg of the tour. [46]

In addition to Partner and Legal Director promotions, the firm has promoted 31 new Senior Associates across ten practice areas, as well as six new Associates in its national Claims Solutions Group. Dammers: I wanted 2 Tone to be semi-independent and launch other acts, so signing the label to Chrysalis let us do that. When the Selecter adopted ska rhythms and clothes I felt put out, but realised we could support each other.What is the current situation with Stan? Will he ever be released. There is so little information about him on the web.
