Had the honor of seeing these guys twice back in the 80's, the first time at some night club down at Jones Beach on Long Island N.Y., second time in New York City at Roseland. These boys were heavily underated through thier career and that was such a travisty.

Life is a fever in Israel ...spoke to Gary Daly himself on Facebook and he confirmed!!

@ranjitb68 The chorus to the song is "life is a favour in Israel" The song is about Israel's support for apartheid in the early 80s. African and White was written by China Crisis in order to protest Israel's support of apartheid in South Africa. That's the significance of "Israel" in the lyrics.
just found the lyrics and its.."life is a favour of Israel".
