"Red Red Wine" is a song originally written by Neil Diamond that was then covered by Tony Tribe and more famously by UB40 in later years.
Diamond's version reached number sixty-two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968.
That same year, Jimmy James and The Vagabonds released a cover version for the UK market. It charted at number thirty-six.
Tony Tribe, a Jamaican Rocksteady singer, recorded a reggae-influenced version in 1969 which reached number forty-six in the UK singles chart. In 1970, a remake by Vic Dana became a minor Billboard Hot 100 hit. In early 1972, country singer Roy Drusky enjoyed a top 20 hit with his cover version.
UB40 made their rendition for their cover versions album Labour of Love.

Neil Diamond... You are probably more familiar with the reggae-style cover version by UB40...

It was sung by Neil Diamond, The Replacements, and Stevie Wonder. The song is "Red, Red Wine"
Written by: neil diamond
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All i can do, i've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And i find
Just one thing
Makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart
