| UB40 are a British reggae band formed in 1978 in Birmingham. Featuring the same line-up of 8 musicians from 1978-2008, the band placed more than 50 singles on the UK charts, and achieved considerable international success as well. Their #1 hits include "Red Red Wine" (#1 US/UK/Canada/NZ/Holland), "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" (#1 US/UK/Australia/Sweden/Holland), and "I Got You Babe" (#1 UK/Holland). UB40 is one of the most successful reggae acts of all time in terms of record sales (over 70 million), chart positions and touring schedule. During their three-decade long career, they have been performing sell-out shows worldwide and headlining the Reggae Sunsplash music festival in Jamaica, as well as spreading reggae to Russia and South America, among others. UB40's early music has often tackled social issues such as racism and unemployment. |
