Uberwaltz, for me UB40, specifically “Red, Red Wine” was a gateway song to ska and reggae. I became clued in to The Selecter, The Beat, Jimmy Cliff and The Specials. Actually got to work a General Public concert in college. I read a funny story that UB40 made their cover of “Red, Red Wine” based on a version by Tony Tribe, not realizing until much later the song was written and first sung by Neil Diamond.
