Eddy Grant

Edmond Montague Grant (born 5 March 1948) is a Guyanese-British singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist known for his genre-blending sound and socially conscious lyrics. In addition to this, he also created the genre of "ringbang". He was a founding member of the Equals, one of the United Kingdom's first racially mixed pop groups who are best remembered for their million-selling UK chart-topper, the Grant-penned "Baby, Come Back".

His subsequent solo career included the 1982 song "I Don't Wanna Dance", plus the platinum 1983 single "Electric Avenue", which is his biggest international hit. He earned a Grammy Award nomination for the song. He is also well known for the 1988 anti-apartheid song "Gimme Hope Jo'anna". Provided by Wikipedia
