UB40 History

UB40, named after the code for unemployment benefits in the United Kingdom at the time, were formed in the late 1970s and were led by arguably one of Britain's premier reggae vocalists, Ali Campbell. The band chopped and changed their expansive lineup on many occasions before they played their first gig, which came at The Hare & Hounds pub in Birmingham, and the rest is very much the stuff of legend.

The band's career got off to a roaring start with their debut album, Signing Off, released in August 1980 and getting to number two on the UK album charts. The album contained the hit singles Food for Thought and My Way Of Thinking.

The following year Present Arms was released and was another number two hit in the UK and contained the now iconic single, One in Ten, and the band were beginning to secure glowing praise from the press and an ever larger audience.

The band's fourth studio album, Labour of Love, was their first worldwide hit, going to number one on the UK charts and doing likewise in New Zealand, as well as breaking into the US Billboard charts. It went on to sell a million copies in the United States alone. The album contained one of their biggest hits, their cover of Red Red Wine, which gave them their first US number-one single.

Please Don't Make Me Cry, Many Rivers to Cross and Cherry Oh Baby were also all big successes, and UB40 had finally hit the mainstream. Geffery Morgan (1984), Baggaridim (1985), Rat In the Kitchen (1986) and their self-titled album UB40 (1988), all charted well before another huge seller was released.

Labour of Love II came out in November 1989 and confirmed the band's status as music superstars. It sold over a million copies in the United States and was a huge success across the globe. It included the big releases Kingston Town, Here I Am (Come and Take Me), and The Way You Do the Things You Do.

Four years later, Promises and Lies was released and became the most successful of the band's career. It sold over nine million copies, primarily due to the inclusion of their cover of (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You, which went to the top of the charts in the UK and the US as well as over a dozen other countries.

In June 1988, they performed at Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday Tribute and headlined the Live Earth concert in 2007. In 2008 the band started to stutter, and lead singer Ali Campbell left the band due to issues with the band's management.

The band's TwentyFourSeven was the last made with UB40's classic lineup, but this did not lessen the group's appeal. The same year they played the Hollywood Bowl in the US to rave reviews. Sadly long-term members Brian Travers and Astro both passed away in 2021.

In 2021, UB40 released their 20th studio album with Bigg Baggariddim, proving a minor success, though it did elicit glowing reviews from the press, and the band continues to perform successful tours on a prolific basis.

UB40 have sold over 70 million records worldwide and have been nominated for numerous awards, including Grammys and Brit Awards.
