This is a brilliant song. Timeless. I remember I bought the cassette "Feline" while studying in Paris. The first time I heard this song I was walking through the city, in the rain, Stranglers pumping through my Walkman. Unforgettable.
Many Jamaicans , especially Bob Marley, identified with the "Buffalo Soldiers" as an example of prominent black men who performed with courage, honor and distinction in a field that was dominated by whites, and persevered despite endemic racism and prejudice...
I love this version better than the Neil Diamond version, but Neil's is the original. This is not the original. Please don't compare any version of this song. It's the first time I heard Neil's version but it is very good like Ub40. You can't compare Neil and reggae version but please love all because they have their own quality. Apples are differents than pears and please eat them like that.
Thompson Twins were a British Pop group that were formed in April 1977 and disbanded in May 1993. They achieved considerable popularity in the mid-1980s, scoring a string of hits in the UK, the U.S. and around the globe.
The band was named after the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergé's comic strip, The Adventures of Tintin.
This song plays with the band's name, Thompson Twins, which are the Thompson and Thompson detectives found in Tintin cartoons so of course it's supposed to be like a children's song. I'd still pay for a Thompson Twins reunion ...
