Never Let You GoUB40

Released: November 17, 1998

Songwriter: Bunny “Striker” Lee Slim Smith

Producer: Dan Armstrong Danny Canaan UB40

I will never let you go
I will never
I will never let you go
I will never
I've got to hold on, every day
In every way, but the things you will say
Just couldn't be that way
You'll never, ever reach
If you don't try
Instead you keep on telling all
Those dreadful lies
Just wait and see
How things could be
When I am free
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me 'cus
I will never let you go
I will never
I will never let you go
I will never

(repeat chorus)
I've got to hold on, every day

In every way, but the things you will say
Just couldn't be that way
You'll never, ever reach
If you don't try
Instead you keep on telling all
Those dreadful lies
Just wait and see
How things could be
When I am free
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me 'cus
I've never let you go
I'll always try
And I've got so much soul
You'll wonder why
It's just because
I'm so true
You'll be feeling blue
When I get through
There is nothing you can do

(repeat last verse)

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
