St. Augustine Amphitheatre welcomes UB40 Image provided by the St. Augustine Ampitheatre.

Sept 3, 1983

UB40 had their first UK No.1 single with the song, ‘Red Red Wine’.

The song is from their album Labour of Love and it’s actually a cover of a Neil Diamond song from 1968.

UB40 re-released the single in 1988 and it became a HUGE hit - #1 in the US.
