Drop some more ub40 songs in the comments that you think I should react to! Oh and I know you guys see my video editing skills gradually improving!

Over in UK, we love music. Nothing to do with who, where they are from, if we love your music, it would be played. I grew up between Nigeria and UK, mainly Nigeria but full music influence from UK where I was born. We listen to everything here and both black and white folks enjoy raggae. Bob Marley, UB40, Third World are my introduction and these songs would have been in the charts at the time. We will dance to Kool and the gang, disco and if UB40 comes on still dance. UK chart is much more eclectic. I love music from opera, classical, techno, garage, hip hop, drum and bass, heavy metal, rap (90s not the new ones), etc.
Have you reacted to Queen yet?
Thanks for explaining how things are here in the UK. Like most people growing up here we listened to whatever was in the charts, so a complete mixed bag of music, I'm grateful of that cos I have a wider knowledge of the variety of music than being pigeon holed into certain categories. For me it was listening to my parents music from the 50's onwards, rock, pop, blues, motown, reggae, soul etc. Forgot disco lol
UB40 has always been a class act. 100% professional. Favorite band in high school and beyond
I need to check out more songs!
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert If you haven’t already..
King, The earth dies screaming.
I've always loved them. It's a real shame about their fallout 😢 Ali Campbell is UB40 though to be fair.
One of my favourite bands and they are fantastic live.
Ub40 the best group ever, I love cherry oh baby, red red wine, Kingston town, Johnny too bad,and the bloody rest!! Great band!
I have heard cherry oh baby! My grandmother would sing it allll the time 🥺
Groovin is my all time favorite by my all time favorite
There's a rat in mi kitchen is one of my favourite
Released in May 1993 it was a huge #1 song in the U.S. and around the world spending 7 Weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Legendary!
From the album Promises and Lies ❤
🇬🇧 Represent!!! Went to Number 1 for 4 weeks. Was released around 1994.
Nice! I enjoyed listening to it
U right omg I feel old now
Wrong flag this is the flag 🏴🏴🏴
Many Rivers to cross and Impossible Love. 2 of my UB40 favs.
Is many rivers to cross a cover? I know that song from Jamaican singer Jimmy cliff
Brilliant ! UB40 💙
UB40 was the number on the unemployment card during 80s when unemployment exploded in the UK!
They came out with”I’m the one in ten” went from strength to strength, my favourite Red,Red Wine.
( spending time unemployed & 🍷)
You're right (I think so), UB40 brings reggae to the charts in the eighties and nineties and to Europe in a "popy" way. And thanks to bands like them people gets to Marley & the Wailers, Lee Scratch Perry, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, etc just like Massive Attack showed us the LEGEND Horace Andy.
Music spreads culture and tears down frontiers.
I agree completely!
Remember this recording invading the airways in the UK, absolutely fabulous version, brings new depths to this ordinary song, making it so special!!👍♥️
If you like this then you'll love " many rivers to cross ".
Jimmy cliff? (I’m Jamaican)
You're a class youtuber young man 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💎💎💎
Remember this well in 1993! I was 15 and loved it. Still do!
Amazing memories i bet
I'm a 65 yr old white male and I love it.
Great reaction go down the UB40 rabbit hole my friend
I was born an bred with these boys best reggae group to come out of the uk ever don’t think really there’s been anyone else since. Mind you I’m 53 and what do I know. Lol.
The ethnic blend of the group is more than just one token black guy.
They were a group of unemployed friends who whilst unemployed decided to start a group. Most had to learn their instruments from scratch and I believe self taught. Their earlier music was a little darker and less poppy. I first heard them do 1 in 10 which is the number unemployed at that time in the 80s under Margaret thatcher. As previously said Their name was the application form for unemployment benefit. Great sound. Love them.
I've loved this song ever since I watched Blue Hawaii as a little girl!
I think it was 1978, if my memory serves....was 15 when it came out. It was a HUGE hit in England. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
no, this version by UB40 was from the 90s. I think you were talking about Elvis's version.
It came out in 1961 by Elvis on the Blue Hawaii album. UB40's version came out in 1993.
93 bruv, all the guys in the group black and white were from Birmingham U.K.
When they formed the band they were all unemployed and receiving state benefits. The payments they received were recorded on a card called a UB40 hence the name. Great band
Their first album is their best. It’s very political and more authentically traditional reggae.
red red wine was there super smash hit. still my all time fav by them.
This was around '93 and it's on the soundtrack to the movie "Sliver" with Sharon Stone and Stephen Baldwin
Love this version of this song
This my ish!!!!
Ub40 is named ub40 wich was a unemployment and benifits form in the 80s.
thats interesting! thanks for the background info!
It was your signing on card.. in the 80's unemployment was terrible in the UK there where whole areas where no one had a job, these must have met while signing on for their dole money
Memories omg I was 13 when this was a bit, I'm 41 now
This song was originally done by Elvis Presley as part of the sound track for the his movie “Blue Hawaii “
That’s interesting! I think i might have to react to the Elvis version as well
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert Be sure to play the original movie version. Elvis blows this away.
@@depper yea? I’ll add it to the list!
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert Elvis' Cant Help Falling In Love was one of the greatest love songs of all time (catch the movie version). If you prefer a beat or lots of soul... lots of great Elvis tunes. Jailhouse Rock (from the movie) 1956 - stellar dance moves for back then and If I Can Dream (MLK tribute ) after MLK got shot was stunning. -- Elvis in white suit version... damn.
@@depper that sounds pretty cool i think i might do that one first 🤔
the word UB40 is our Unemployment Office back in the 80's... this is how they got there name... and they become huge back then... in England... they made many good songs... i really cannot say that any where not worth listening to... you will find your favourite...
Almost! A UB40 was actually the form that had to be filled-in to claim unemployment benefit.
I just quite simply love UB40, just the way it is. Why don't you look at Many rivers too cross. Think you'll enjoy their version. x
Yeah a great british band from England ub40 it's also the soundtrack to the sharon stone film astro with the dreads 😢died a year ago they have had some fantastic fantastic tunes you need to check em out I'm british myself and proud of the music we produce
UB40 Legend in uk by early 80s this cover 90s fav band everyone has their fav UB40 song 1st best of album a must have really
I've always thought this was new wave. And is one of my few favorite songs. His group looks like guys I'd like to hang out with. Great Song.
Yes! I can only imagine the adventures they had
new wave???? wtf? lol
Released in 1993 off of the “sliver” soundtrack 🔥
Red Red Wine 🍷 next please. They played it at all my junior high dances 😂
My first dance song at my wedding back in 96
You should try listening to "Red Red Wine" and " The Way You Do The Things You Do" two amazing UB40 songs
Best black &white band every
I recommend UB40 red, red wine
New Sub here and I must say you have good taste in music
thank you! send me some recommendations!
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert I love Backstreet Boys , Salt n Pepper, TLC,Whitney Houston reactions
Please react to Tyler by UB40 (and maybe look up the history before hand) Beautiful song.
Also side note...i missed out seeing UB40 live a few years ago, by a day... 😭 (I found out a day after (thr ticket order opened) that they were performing just 20 miles from my house...which may not seem like a big deal....But let me just say...when u live in Cornwall (NO1 EVER COMES HERE!) 😂 SO I WAS GUTTED! just hoping I get another go at it!
UB40 come from a place where a genre of music called Metal was invented.
My dad Mr Gilson, taught english to Ali Campbell in the sixth form at Mosely rd art school. I wonder if Ali remembers him?
Gotta check out ub40-red red wine.
1 in 10 is my favourite ub40 song. X
2 more great songs by UB40: The Way You Do the Thing You Do and Red Red Wine.
UB40 🙌🏻
I like the suspense version from the REsidents!
UB40 great band
I agree!
UK's Leading Reggae Band Of All Time..And There's More Than One Jamaican?.. Earlier Songs Were More Reggae Less Pop Influenced..Try 'One In Ten'..A Song Based On Youth Employment Figures During Late 70s Early 80s..One In Ten Teenagers Were Unemployed In The UK Around That Time..Great Song🇬🇧
Love this version, it's so "John Hughes" movies vibe!😃 It is SUCH a great version! Since we have touched on nostalgia lol, I'd love you to react to Don't Change by INXS! My friend tagged me in it today & I thought you'd probably love it! Great reaction& taste! Seems you should be a singer with a voice like yours!😉
Haha I’m actually a horrible singer. Not ever worthy for the shower!
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert hahaha We're all better in the shower! If you're not into singing, maybe audio books?😃😉
@@debbiedebster5806 definitely audio books lol
In UK- ska music & bluebeat style - offshoot of reggae
Ub40 👍🎶👌
I want to see your reaction to Shaggy "Carolina".
Just for the record, this song came out in 1784. Yes, 237 years ago.
It still bangs 😂
Red red vine their best
Please review' king'.
And food for thought 👍🎶
if you love this .... check out the album. Lauber of love 2 from UB40 .it was the best years of my life.
You should react to UB40s song Red Red Wine
Julio Igllesias did a cover of it.
You should react to one of Toto songs, e.g. Africa. Regards from Poland :)
How can you go through the whole video and not mention...THE VOICE??!!!
You may have heard the Corey Hart version, which is also pretty good IMO. Cheers!
Cheers!
You should revisit UB40. Their best songs aren’t that well known and no one ever reacts to them. Bring me your Cup and Promises and Lies from the same album are just a couple of fantastic songs. That whole album is amazing.
Please try Snow rapping Informer...he’s a Canadian rapper from Toronto who grew up in a Jamaican neighborhood. I hope you enjoy it! 🖖🏻🇨🇦🥰💥
Interesting name!
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert lol no relation, much love from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦🖖🏻🥰
You said you have never heard them. You need to listen to 'Red Red Wine by UB40.
That title sounds kind of familiar. I will do a reaction. I guess I’ll find out when the song starts playing lol
This band is like the U2 or the Rolling Stones of Reagge.
Andy Williams in the late 60s
They are bigger than the wailers
1993 was when it dropped
Takes me back to a better time. A lot of the more recent fans of UB40 don't realise what the name of the band means. The meaning of UB40 is " You have to have a card when you're out of work to enter into the Jobcentre looking for work and that card is called a UB40!!!✌️🤫 🙏
" JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF USELESS INFORMATION ",👍
Please react to "red red wine" 🍷, by UB40.
😘🥰😍💋❤️👍👏🙋🌹🌷
react to UB40 - Impossible Love
Andy Williams covered the song too.
I'm a fan of reggae so I can see questioning the genre. The beat (timing) here is unique to reggae music. There first big song was to cover Red, Red Wine which is more recognizable as a reggae song. Using reggae "beats" to "pump up" slower rhythm, check out Killing Me Softly by the Fugees and Lauren Hill. This one uses reggae and rap to revamp an R&B favorite.
Red red wine sounds familiar, i will check it out
Horns baby horns.....
Try Ted Red Wine by UB40 It was a UK 1 smash
Just uploaded this today 🤗
93 or 94 it was for a film with Sharon stone in it
It's one of those songs that's been covered too many times to count.
See "UB40 & afrika bambataa - reckless".
great band, english band yea. so the whole "black / white " thing isnt the same as in America. just friends in a band :) no issues.
Yes I’ve recently been learning the UK is different from here
There is a law in Birmingham, if you are born here? You have to like UB40, we kick you out the city if you don't lol
Haha I endorse that law fully bro 👏🏽👏🏽
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert good lad! you've been promoted to an honourary Brummie then lol
Love the song. Movie was... oof
The black guy sings Theres a rat in Mi kitchen by UB40. Check I out
ASTRO.. I think that was him anyway.. died 2021
Led Zeppelin
The cd version is better
