Geffery Morgan is the fifth album by UB40. Released in 1984, it takes its title inspired by a piece of chalk graffiti on a wall: "Geffery Morgan ... loves white girls" taken by the documentary photographer Dr. Vanley Burke. Following the success of their covers album, Labour of Love, all tracks on this album are self-penned. The album contained the hit "If It Happens Again", which reached No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart.[5]
