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, and as a teenager formed the multi-racial group The Equals. He sported dyed blonde hair & had his first million selling Number One hit in 1968, when he was the lead guitarist and main songwriter with his self-penned song, “
Baby Come Back” that flew to the chart summit. Notably, Grant openly used his songwriting for political purposes, as in Police on My Back and later Gimme Hope Jo’anna about the then-current apartheid regime of South Africa.

The album Walking On Sunshine produced the popular tracksI Don’t Wanna Dance and Gimme Hope Jo’anna.
