	Terry Hall (singer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terry Hall (born March 19, 1959, in Coventry, England) was the lead singer of The Specials, the Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield, Terry, Blair and Anouchka and Vegas.
		As the frontman for The Specials, Hall primarily struck it big in Britain in the late 70's/early 80's, while still remaining somewhat unknown in the United States.
		In the case of Terry Hall, the mad-hatter of pop was able to conjure up a spell that would gather the perfect line up for his first solo attempt that would later on turn out to be the perfect pop album of his career.

	Gorillaz-Unofficial Terry Hall Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Singer and songwriter, as the frontman for the band The Specials, Hall shot to stardom in Britain in the early '80s, singing such classic ska-revival singles as "Gangsters," "Nite Klub," and "Ghost Town".
		The "Ghost Town" single was the last to feature Terry Hall and the original lineup -- after its release Hall split with the group's other two vocalists, Lynval Golding and Neville Staples, to form the Fun Boy Three.
		Terry Hall also worked with The Lightning Seeds a lot in their early days, and continues to be involved in a variety of collaborative projects.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Interview: Terry Hall
		Terry Hall asks if we can delay the first question until he's had a cigarette.
		Hall tells this anecdote to illustrate the thinking behind The Hour of Two Lights, his first project for six years.
		When Hall left the Specials immediately after their number-one single Ghost Town, and returned to the charts just five months later with Fun Boy Three, he looked set to become one of the great British frontmen.

	An inspiration to Hall \| www.somethingjewish.co.uk
		Throughout these projects as well as his subsequent group, The Colourfield, and several solo albums, Terry Hall's understated, evocative vocals has continued to be one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in all rock music.
		In some ways, the album is a return to Terry Hall's musical roots (you may recall The Specials' breakthrough hit "Gangsters" was based around a Middle Eastern-influenced melody).Yet, together with Mushtaq, the album breaks bold new ground by creating a stunning topical tapestry of music.
		Yet Hall was determined early on that he wanted to make an album quite different from anything he'd done previously with the Specials, Fun Boy Three or in his subsequent solo career.

	A human sound of the world The Hour of Two Lights, an album by Terry Hall and Mushtaq
		Hall is best known for having been one of the voices of The Specials, the articulate pioneers of the British Two-Tone movement of the late 1970s-early 1980s.
		Hall spent the best part of a year planning the record with Mushtaq before they started to look for their astonishing cast of musicians.
		Hall has talked about the culture shock of working with refugees, who have a completely different attitude to bank holidays, for example, than the opportunity for a long weekend.

	home
		Home by Terry Hall is one of these albums, and you can hear it.
		Having spent so much of his time writing for The Lightning Seed's it was perhaps unfortunate that Hall's record company decided that the release date for Home would be the same as The Seed's Jollification album.
		Terry Hall is one of our finest singer/songwriters, and this is one of the finest solo albums recorded.

	Guardian \| Terry Hall and Mushtaq: The Hour of Two Lights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Terry Hall has had a decidedly patchy career since his glory days with the Specials and Fun Boy Three in the late 1970s and 1980s.
		Hall is in fine laconic voice, and on the best songs (A Gathering Storm, Ten Eleven, Stand Together) he creates a brooding sense of global menace in a wailing, clattering collision of hip-hop, Middle-Eastern and Gypsy influences.
		The sections where Hall is absent are less focused: the opening burst of horns, percussion and Arabic vocals goes on too long, and the wailing vocals of Abdul Latif Asili fit uneasily with the other songs.

	TERRY HALL - EAR.FM - THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN ROCK ARTISTS
		The former lead singer of The Specials, The Colourfield and The Fun Boy Three.
		Hall has had a long career as a front man and is a worthy interpreter of many styles.
		He has recorded with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics as "Vegas" and in the trio "Anouchka, Terry and Blair" to limited success then devoted much time to songwriting, supplying hits for The Lightning Seeds and Tricky.

		Terry Hall and Mushtaq's album couldn't be more in tune with today's headlines, fusing the Jewish and Arabic musical cultures which draws upon the duo's own lineage -- Terry Hall being a Polish refugee with a Jewish background and Mushtaq being a Middle Eastern Muslim.
		In some ways, the album is a return to Terry Hall's musical roots (you'll recall The Specials' breakthrough hit 'Gangsters' was based around a Middle Eastern-influenced melody).
		Then the cast list expanded to include a Tunisian singer, a Syrian flautist, an Egyptian who had settled in Iraq, Hebrew vocalists, Turkish musicians, a 12 year old Lebanese girl called Natasha, a blind Algerian rapper from Paris, a troupe of Polish gypsy refugees and a septuagenarian clarinetist famous for playing the Pink Panther theme.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| New world order
		While Hall's singing and songwriting remain the single most important element, a cast of extraordinary musical characters have added their colours to the album's rolling grooves - from a 12-year-old Lebanese girl's haunting narration on the opening track to the clarinet of Eddie Morden, who played on the original Pink Panther theme.
		While these non-Western elements remain quite distinct from Hall's own contributions, he has put himself on the line far more than most Western world-music explorers, who are usually content to noodle round the edges of the "ethnic" other.
		While Hall, 44, is famously unsmiling on stage, he is also known for his dry humour.

	Cliff Eberhardt: Beyond good and evil by Seth Rogovoy
		While it's a matter open for debate, the musical partnership of Terry Hall and David Grover might well be the longest-lasting one in the Berkshires.
		Drummer Hall and singer-guitarist Grover have played together in numerous bands and lineups throughout the years, including the long-lasting Shenandoah, the '70s country-rock band that toured the world behind Arlo Guthrie.
		While it's a Terry A La Berry show from beginning to end, Grover, who co-produced the album at his home studio in Monterey, and Kathy Jo Barrett, who plays bass and sings for Big Bear, are both on hand to help.

		One of the biggest events of the season will take place on Monday, before the WMF even begins: the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey are giving a rare performance at the Chicago Theatre as part of the Chicago Turkish Festival, which runs through Wednesday.
		Former Specials singer Terry Hall is doing his part to blur that boundary on the new album The Hour of Two Lights (Astralwerks/Honest Jon's), a superb collaboration with Mushtaq, a percussionist, producer, and former member of the British-Asian band Fun-da-Mental.
		Hall meanders through pop melodies in his sad-puppy warble while the impressively agile band tours the rhythms of eastern Europe and the Middle East, superpowered by Western club beats and deep bass.

	Terry Hall & Mushtaq - The Hour Of Two Lights : album review
		This is what cynics could say about Terry Hall and this new collaboration with former Fun-da-mentalist Mushtaq.
		In fact, the nearest he's ever got to being a singer songwriter in the 'pop' sense of the word was with 1998's solo album Laugh.
		However, it's not particularly accessible - Terry Hall is not one for jolly happy pop songs and there's not much here to bring a smile to your face.

		The brainchild of Terry Hall (a British-born Jew of Polish descent) and Mushtaq (a British-born Muslim with a Bangladeshi father and an Iranian mother), the album begins with the voice of Natasha, a 12-year-old Lebanese girl, and ends with Hall singing, "In the name of freedom, we speak and spell."
		Hall and Mushtaq assemble an extraordinary migrant supergroup that almost seems overly handpicked to suit current politics.
		In the '80s Hall was a key member of the Specials, the pioneering multiracial ska band who ran from the National Front on "Concrete Jungle." Mushtaq was a member of Fun-Da-Mental, the Anglo-Asian protest crew better known for their antiracist politics than for the industrialized hip-hop behind it.

		When Terry Hall goes on his travels he has a tendency to pick up a few musical souvenirs, but these weird and wonderful instruments never quite make it onto a record.
		As frontman for ska revivalists The Specials, Hall's biting comments on sexual relationships and the horrors of urban living defined an era of post-punk Thatcherite living.
		With the prospect of only special one-off gigs possible due to the situation of many of the musicians involved in the project, Hall is eager start work on new material as soon as possible, but those praying for the much rumoured Specials reunion should not hold their breath.
