Eddy Grant's biggest hit but by far not his only one. First big worldwide hit was with his British quintet The Equals in the '60s, "Baby Come Back." The Equals were one of the first major racially integrated English bands. Grant was born in Guyana and his parents moved to the UK when he was a young kid. He grew up in Kentish Town, London.
Hard to understand why so many misunderstood this song. Sure it has an upbeat tempo, irresistible hook, and energy, but the lyrics couldn't be more explicit: this is one angry, politically engaged song.
