[johnnypick]

I used to get a £10 draw from the frontline when i was a youth.

[worldcoup]

He made some top tunes...he'd better be a fckn millionaire like those other useless cnuts who make S#¤t sounds.

[thecolaratlady]

Did he do this song with the equals or was this after he went solo?

[thecolaratlady]

OMG to have been able to wash his back ..and..umm.. other places too : )

[TheBulldog1969]

I met Eddie in 2010 at a rail station i was working on. I couldnt believe i was standing talking to one of my childhood heroes. He was so polite and genuine, with that beaming smile, he stood and chatted for about 5 minutes and had his picture taken with me. A real nice bloke. Respect to you Eddie, Jah bless.

[aloesinbim]

Eddie is a good man NUFF RESPECT

[ThePlatano2020]

GARAGE SOUND!

[Nicola88alociN]

This song is awesome! It will never die, great reggae!

Listen at Keith Tompson's version, just as good as the original!

[tranvozcaya]

one of the best song ever made.

Great music..Good lyrics.. it never will pass away

[skullbatter]

FTW Eddy Grant made that sound in the beginning from violins lol

[jovanauf]

CHORDS ? please :)

[6663sharon]

[CREWFILMS]

HEAVY

[1305alz]

Shake dem dred Ed...

[joolspirog]

Bristol, St.Paul's rioted first and also tthis track was played a lot. 1980's St.Paul's was a great metropolitan place. Kind of wish it was like it used to be.

[ds420s]

what kind of man could i be ..if i cant talk about the i see...[1:08 sec] very true...no real men in the world...except for egpyt

[taskeoneking]

I luv this song, so much remindes me of my childhood....Ahh the good days....

[joolspirog]

@taskeoneking I was 16 and in Bristol. Fantastic times

[Sacrilegio999]

Ohhh!!! =)

[gravesande27]

Oh Mama, Mama, you got me... Big Tune Dat!!

[pecoscrow1]

To whereever to idiotism and stupitism listen and learn , pendejos, this is as real as it getzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!! babosos!

[exceeduus77]

@srdjanlimich: Is the song I was referring to on the album "baby come back"? I doubt it because the song came out around 1977/78...I may be wrong with the year though.

[matheusmartini]

i want the cypher of this music...

someone have? Send to me please

[ACDC4everrock]

This song is Classic!!!

[DetroitLives313]

This is one that famed Detroit DJ, "Electrifying Mojo" use to give an extended work out on his late night program on 107.5 WGPR back in the early 80's.

[exceeduus77]

I have been looking for this song called "Are Your Ready for Me" done when Eddy Grant was with a group called "The Equals" ....Would be nice if someone can upload it....

[SrdjanLimich]

@exceeduus77 "Equals" has a great hit" Baby, come back"

[martinfurfaro09]

[wendileona]

Freakin' Lenny Kravitz... style, vibe biter. Copied Eddy's thang :48.

I remember the Equals shop in kentish town London.

[randwickbelle]

[Jacquiismyname]

hey rasorder....was Eddy Grant ever at Archway Studios in Brixton do you know?

[1975barbados]

Born in Jamaica....... Lives in Barbados !

[rraabit420]

@1975barbados Wrong Beat... Eddie was born in Guyana, South America

[BUSFELI]

@1975barbados Eddie Grant was born in Guyana...probably the most noted music artist from Guyana.

[BUSFELI]

@1975barbados

Just like Banks Beer originated from Guyana as well.

[HoukaMonks]

Eddies the Man!

[RETKxBITCH]

this song gives me everything i need

[janosmg]

este negro era un groso en esta musica ...para ke aprendan los de ahora..

[MrNodzilla]

Why aren't the festival organisers considering him , I know he's had his health issues and ting (see what I did there ) Ha ha ha . But seriously , I'm getting a bit sick and tired of seeing average headliners ! Flo & the whatsitsface,Muse?,fuck U2 2 , Give Grant a chance , fuck me, i think he's earned it !

[tsunchoo]

@MrNodzilla word... love to see Eddie

[pusitegaSUPovci]

this song should have been his biggest hit. i thought electric avenue was too pop oriented

[binlargin2]

[gradri69]

[JordanWalzak]

[robertorussovisions]

That's incredible, I've just found a song I listened on the radio when I was 13 years old! I still like it so much, especially now that I can also understand its meaning. Eddy Grant is a great singer.

[DasekanKaminAfameza]

The Gong was 1000 times tougher than Grant

He was a real revolutionary seen

[coconutkirby]

[PleijeriZz]

Me don't want no dirty money, nooooo. ... me don't want no dirty money..."

Funny Jamaican english. Grammatically

Ok says native not ennglishj. Hah

[stevemcgee99]

This should be the anthem for Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan (and Georgia, Indonesia, Sudan, Somalia, etc. etc.)

[romerocv]

...and Romania!

[15Inches15]

shout out to eddy grant reppin guyana!!!!

[FantomRaspberyBlower]

Yeah just reading rasorder's comments re Brixton and the 'Frontline'. Wasn't this Atlantic Rd or where the outdoor market is held on Sundays? (went there many years ago) Electric Avenue is Brixton too isnt it? As soon as I heard this again I could see the news footage of the '81 riots in my head - reminds me too of Toxteth at the time (I lived there for about 12 years. ) Powerful music.

[amoeba12]

A classic favorite!

[PROBEMANTIC]

Memorable Top Tune! Big Up to this one and remember? Old Vinyl never

dies, it just Warps!

[thepiecez]

''me no want nobody money,

the isle of the sugar me no want to see''

- is this the correct lyric? this is what i hear.

but when you google the lyrics, it says ''me no want nobody money,

there lord they sugar me no want to see''

that can't be right? does it even make sense?

[NWOBADNEWS]

"what kind of man could i be if i cant talk about what i see"

you all need to have a look at (project blue beam).

or have a look at my favourite video's for an eye opening lesson.

[maurolinga]

nice vid, thanks for sharing.

[bettadark]

hehehe that my nigga! ^^

[Metermas]

suppppper dobra stvar. ko zna zna.

[majorcatch22]

Eddy Grant 60 yrs old and he still got star quality! Eddy one of the smartest businessmen in the music industry coz he still owns his masters.

Fight the power, don't take the dirty banker's money. Jail all Wall St Banksters! People of the world unite!

[veryandy2]

eddy is the man watever the tunes still rule 60 ! fair play this rules lol

[rimian]

There's an extended version of this that's pretty cool.

[dcflava74]

Was this video shot in Guyana or Barbados?

[ladywithtime]

Omigod, he is seriously HOT in those leather pants. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yaaaaaah!

[sx7762]

super!!! magnifique!!! song!!

[mandapg]

Fantastic amzing song!!!!!

[NAULAAAA]

[kaljan]

[falafelbleuh]

Man, the dude at 01:00 made me laugh so hard!

[FinCroweman]

One of the highlights of Oxegen,true Genius,enough said.

[spencerda1]

he aint saying beat its by eddie grant hes telling you to beat it.

your the ignoramous montydon.

seriously.

saw eddie grant at t in the park

amazind.

[wizzboy76]

pentz1.........Rich he might of been at this stage in his life, but in his early years, he was part of the poorest poverty stricken people.

He had to fight, and fight hard, mainly from polatitions and law inforcment officer who did not like people exspressing their freedom of speach. Must of been hard, back then in the 80's. Today its simple, just log on to youtube and sing a record. EDDY GRANT, a poor boy who became famouse, not for his music but for his WORDS.

[montydon21]

your spelling is awfull

[theoreebok]

But the message is truth, so beat it.

[montydon21]

Beat it was Michael Jackson

You ignoramus

[ZzZ0ne]

timeless...

[RASTAMAN775]

MAN HE IS COOL I WISH IVE GET THAT LETTER

[JimmyPeep]

Still sounds well cool, twenty odd years later. Love it.

[pentz1]

In a lot of ways, Eddie was ahead of his times. Not many black pop artists were so diverse and on top of that have a political message. Also, he bought copyrights to all his tunes. Sensible and RICH guy

[ronbo11]

Eddie rocks!

[ronbo11]

or is that Eddy?! Either way - he's cool!

[alacransonriente]

he´s soooooo HOT!!!!

[manawisha]

yeah see his muscles and the way he shakes in these leather pants. yum! :D

[rstar2008]

[Loakum]

This song is a timeless GEM! I'm suprised they haven't re-released this tune yet, because it sounds as fresh today, as it sounded back then!

[VeniVidi]

Marvellous.

Nice do-be-dos too.

[treacle]

OMG Eddy Grant is so sexy, this song is my fav of his.

Eddy ..if u read this...C'mere already!

[lifeboatparty]

Excellent. Thanks for posting this.

[escudjo]

Does anybody know whether the extended version is around?
