The song "Red Red Wine" is famously performed by UB40, a British reggae band. Originally written and recorded by Neil Diamond in 1967, UB40's reggae cover became a hit in the 1980s, popularizing the song further. Their version is often associated with a laid-back, reggae vibe that contrasts with the original's folk-pop style.

They may have done so, but they're not the artists most commonly associated with the song. That would be Neil Diamond (the writer) or (most likely) UB40. A number of other artists have done cover versions.
