Formed in 1981 by Terry Hall, Neville Staple, and Lynval Golding after leaving The Specials, Fun Boy Three brought a fresh, minimalist twist to the British ska and new wave scene. Blending witty social commentary with inventive pop rhythms, the trio scored hits like “It Ain’t What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It)” with Bananarama and “The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum).” Their innovative sound and offbeat charm helped shape early ’80s British pop, leaving a lasting influence on post‑punk and pop experimentation.
