Album Tracks That Should Have Been Singles – ‘TOO HOT’ (1979) By Ska Legends THE SPECIALS
1 December 2024
Band: THE SPECIALS
Probably the greatest ska collective ever.
They formed in Coventry, England in 1977,
and were fronted by the late great
Terry Hall (1959-2022).
Album: THE SPECIALS
Their self-titled debut LP, released
in 1979. It peaked at #4 in the UK.
Track: TOO HOT
A song written, by Jamaican star Prince Buster. Catchy, hip-swaying
tune. I guess because Hall was only doing backing vocals here that
Too Hot wasn’t hot enough to be a single.
