Terry Hall (born 19 March 1959, in Coventry, England) was the lead singer of The Specials, the Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield, Terry, Blair & Anouchka and Vegas. He released his first solo album, Home, in 1995. He has also worked with The Lightning Seeds, Stephen Duffy, Dub Pistols, Gorillaz, Tricky and Lily Allen.

Terry Hall (20 November 1926 – 4 April 2007), born Terence Hall, was an English ventriloquist. He appeared regularly on television with his puppet, Lenny the Lion, with his catchphrase, "Aw, don't embawass me!". Hall is credited as being one of the first ventriloquists to use a non-human puppet.

Hall was born in Chadderton, Oldham, in Lancashire, where his parents ran a working men's club. He was educated at St Patrick's School in Oldham and at De La Salle College in Salford. Hall initially working as a ventriloquist with a boy dummy, named Mickey Finn, winning a talent show aged 15.

Hall created Lenny the Lion in 1954 after he visited the zoo while working at the summer season in Blackpool. Lenny was made from an old fox fur and papier-mâché, with a golf ball for the nose. He origially had a mouthful of fearsome teeth, but they were removed at the suggestion of singer Anne Shelton to avoid scaring children in the audience.

Hall and Lenny first appeared on BBC Television in 1956, in a variety show entitled Dress Rehearsal that also signalled Eric Sykes' television debut. The Lenny the Lion Show ran on from 1957 to 1960, followed by Lenny's Den in 1959 to 1961, and Pops and Lenny in 1962 to 1963. Hall visited America in 1958, making his debut on the Ed Sullivan Show with Lenny that year. Hall and Lenny remained popular throughout the 1960s, appearing on stage in Blackpool and on television. The Beatles made one of their early TV appearances in a 1963 episode of Pops and Lenny, singing "From Me to You" and "Please, Please Me." David Bowie's father, Hayward Jones, worked on the show, and launched the Lenny the Lion Fan Club. Lenny advertised Trebor mints for three years. Hall released a single, "Lenny's Bath Time", in 1963.

In spite of the fact that Hall was a staunch Oldham Athletic fan, during the 1957/58 English Football season, Hall took Lenny to The Den which was then the home of Millwall Football Club and allowed Lenny to pose with his "Fellow Lions" for publicity shots, much to the delight of all present in the ground.

Hall and Lenny continued to work in variety through the 1970s, appearing on television in programmes such as Crackerjack. From 1977 to 1980, Hall regularly appeared on children's daytime television, in the television programme Reading With Lenny.

Hall married twice. He had two daughters from his first marriage. He married a second time in 1980, to dance teacher Denise Francis. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease in later life, and died in 2007 in Coventry, West Midlands.
