if not for the neil diamond genius this song wouldnt exist , but it wouldnt be the 1st time a cover is more popular than the original and is not gonna be the last time either Luv diamond and ub40 Peace
this version is crackin as soon as astro starts singing makes this song amazin lifelong UB40 fan my mum brainwashed me wi em wen i were younger n loved em ever since :)
incredible ignorance Tarkan11 .....and Sniper.....Diamond added a verse after UB40 version .."Red Red Wine makes me feel so good even if the words aren't understood" Original - You've taken my heart but can't take my soul... that's some deep shit, that most any alcoholic could help you understand.
Nothing, we were kids,I moved away, that was my last night with him, but I still think about him having to stand on a brick to kiss me. Not to this song though!!
it is a sad song about missing a loved one like Neil intended. Those reggae guys turned the song around and added more lines to make it sound like a happy party song, which by the way Neil Diamond didn't appreciate if you do your research.
if it wasnt for ub40 i wouldnt even know this song existed besides anytime somebody refers to red red wine there not talking about the neil diamond version
Yes true, but the whole point of covering a song is to put your own emphasis on it. UB40 did an brilliant version- making the song their own really. The fact that they interpreted it differently to Diamond is neither here nor there. Good point well made though.

Neil Diamond was around in the late 60's with the song. How could UB40 have had the song prior to Diamond.
Must be the plastic surgery!
