yeh i understand what you saying now...your right about how reggae music doesnt receive the popularity they deserve i read that when ub40 first started out everybody in england thought they wouldnt get far...But i can listen to UB40's music all day everyday because i never get bored of them...music that comes out now like hip hop and rnb ill like the song for about a month then forget it lol
Ali does have a great voice and he is a star his the bomb with ub40 and they are all great and what if ali didnt like pop music from the comment up top are you trying to say ali isnt a star....LOVE UB40
Hi there...i love UB40 man..iam the person that wrote the first comment...what i said was if Ali had started with another type of music like pop he would be more famous today..after 25 years with UB40, reggae music still isnt receiving the popularity that deserves..Ali as a member of a band doesnt recieve the status that he truly deserves..you know what i mean..
..so we cant consider Ali a star..in the real sense...well for me he already is..a man with with 25 years of career and with an awesome voice like him can be considered a "star"...when i said "would be a star today" i mean for the public in general all around the world..that level of famous...but for me Ali is a STAR in my eyes of course...do you know that he made an album on his own? So i think he really wanted to go solo...but a great guy like Ali couldnt left his team.
but he did, what about "that look in your eyes" with pamela starks, and there were few more, i rememeber there is an album he did on his own, i'm sure you can find it if you only try
Hi "bartekste" read the comments of "UB40Lover", is me...so i perfectly know that he did an album on his own..but he didnt go solo..it was just a solo project as the others members were doing too at the time..hes finished now his second album..see more information on "xXxUB40LoverxXx" channel, is me too...the other one got banned...=)

As far as I can tell, Astro says,
"Version with discursion from the top of the backing track mmm. As Bunny Lee the Aggro-man would say, 'hit me back for days and extra days.' As Lorraine would say, 'ooh boo Ska Boo, all retain Young, Gifted and Black' ahh. It's very sad. All right. Take five mmm."
