Eddy Grant (born Edmond Montague Grant, 5 March 1948) is a Plaisance,
Guyana born musician. When he was still a young boy, his parents
emigrated to London, UK, where he settled. He lived in Kentish Town and
went to school at the Acland Burghley Secondary Modern at Tufnell Park.
He had his first Number One hit in 1968, when he was the lead guitarist
and main songwriter of the multiracial group The Equals, with his
self-penned song "Baby Come Back". The tune also later topped the UK
Single Chart again when covered by Pato Banton. Notably, he openly used
his songwriting for political purposes, especially against the
then-current apartheid regime of Sout Africa. The Clash recorded a
version of "Police On My Back" for their Sandinista! set.
Eddy Grant stands among an elite group of artists as one who has not
just merely moved successfully across the musical spectrum, but has
actually been at the forefront of genres and even created one of his
own. From pop star to reggae radical, musical entrepreneur to the
inventor of ringbang, the artist has cut a swath through the world of
music and made it his own.
