When I think of Terry, I think of this song. He sings his heart out and sweats out all fluids:

I saw that Loved the first album. I still listen to it every now and then at the Gym. Do the Dog and Blank Expression are two of my all-time favorite songs!

Yes, **. For sure.

Specials were so good. The sound holds over time. In particular, I loved how Terry poured his heart into those songs.

Big fan of the Ska genre, when I think off Hall and the Specials I think of Message to Rudy.
Underrated genre, underrated band, and underrated musician Hall was.
Rest easy Mr. Hall.

(This story is a week old, but this is still news to me, thanks for the post Chucky)

Salud, Nashy.

Terry passed on 12/18. For some reason took several days to make the paper.

Sometimes, you see someone's value based on Displacement. The Specials were just a shell of themselves after Terrry departed and they attempted to replace him with a new lead singer.

"Do the Dog"

Great song that Mac referenced in post 3:
