| The Fun Boy Three Then: Terry Hall, Neville Staples and Lynval Golding strike out on their own after leaving The Specials and release "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)" just days after their departure. The oddly addictive track makes it's way to the U.K. Top 20. Three months later they would score their first of 3 U.K. Top 10 hits with "It Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)" a collaboration with an unknown vocal act Bananarama. They also score hits with George Gershwin's "Summertime", "The Tunnel Of Love", and a collaboration with Jane Wiedlin that would make hits for both bands - "Our Lips Are Sealed." By the end of 1983, Hall again got bored with the direction the band was heading in and left to form The Colourfield. Now: In 1995, with original members Golding, Staples, Panter and Radiation the band re-forms with the album Todays Specials. Hall would end his work with The Colourfield and join Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics for a project called Vegas. |
