British singer-songwriter. Hall founded ska-punk group The Specials in 1978; they scored two UK number 1 hits with 'The Special A.K.A. Live EP' and 'Ghost Town' and were pioneering (in British music) for featuring both black and white musicians. Hall left in 1981 to form Fun Boy Three and then Colour Field before embarking on a solo career. He was also a member of the 'Nearly God' collective, including Björk, Tricky, Neneh Cherry and others, who released a self-titled album in 1996.
