Terence Oswald Wilson (Astro)

Terence Oswald Wilson known by his stage name Astro, was a British-Jamaican musician. He was the trumpeter and vocalist for the reggae band UB40.

Wilson started out as a roadie; he announced the band and occasionally joined in as a talk-singing toaster. This worked so well that he was soon given a permanent spot as second vocalist alongside Ali Campbell; songs he wrote included the second half of Madame Medusa (an indictment of Prime Minister Thatcher), the rap in Red Red Wine, and the #1 hit Rat In My Kitchen.…
