Fun Boy Three a connu deux ans de succès au début des années 1980.

Le groupe s’est formé en 1981 lorsque Terry Hall, Lynval Golding et Neville Staples ont quitté The Specials.

Le trio a publié neuf singles (dont deux avec les Bananarama) et deux albums The Fun Boy Three (1982) et Waiting (1983).

Le groupe s’est séparé en 1983.

Chrysalis a annoncé la sortie d’une édition deluxe baptisée The Complete Fun Boy Three.
