Into this storm they came and tried to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat. The six-piece band consisted of singer/songwriter Dave Wakeling (vocals & guitar), Andy Cox (guitar), David Steele (bass), Everett Morton (drums), Saxa (saxophone) and Ranking Roger (toasting). The band managed to fuse all of their respective musical influences – soul, reggae, pop and punk – into a unique sound that was very danceable. Along with contemporaries such as The Specials, The Selecter and Madness, The English Beat became one of the most popular and influential bands in the British ska movement. Over the course of the three albums, The English Beat achieved great success in their home country, placing several top 10 singles. WANT TO SEE MORE LIVE MUSIC?
