Best known for his huge hits "I Don't Wanna Dance", which hit the UK number one spot in 1982 and the seminal "Electric Avenue", Eddy Grant's songwriting was often as politically charged as it was commercially-flavoured

Eddy Grant hit the number one spot in the UK and Europe with "Baby Come Back" as part of The Equals in 1966. The celebrated musician had plenty more hits but after a serious illness he left the band, returned to Guyana to recuperate and prepared to launch his hugely successful solo career.

A true perfectionist, he played every single instrument, sang every vocal part and produced every track on most of his solo albums. Best known for his huge hits "I Don't Wanna Dance", which hit the UK number one spot in 1982 and the seminal "Electric Avenue", Eddy Grant's songwriting was often as politically charged as it was commercially-flavoured. Continuing to produce his own material, Eddy Grant is as active and relevant as ever.
