| - | '''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 the [[United Kingdom|UK]], where he settled. He had his first [[Chart-topper|Number One]] hit in [[1968 in music|1968]], when he was the lead [[guitarist]] and main [[songwriter]] of the [[multiracial]] [[musical group|group]] [[The Equals]], with his self-penned song "[[Baby Come Back]]". The tune also later topped the [[UK Singles Chart]] again when covered by [[Pato Banton]]. Notably, he openly used his songwriting for political purposes, especially against the then-current [[apartheid]] regime of [[South Africa]]. | ||
