Jul 17, 2009 - Even more than you think - they were black and white, so their music was banned in South Africa.

Sep 21, 2009 - Really good songs, I never really gave this band a chance, but seeing this made me see they were alot better than just Baby Come Back, only thing that would make this cooler would be if they wore the cool lookin mod outfits they wore in their photo shoots....Thanks for turning me onto them!

Oct 19, 2010 - it's so funny I never knew that Eddy Gran was a part of this group...great to know he (Eddy went on wrote great hits later in his career...you can see from the get go just from the start of that interview..who would emerge..that little one was a punk in the beginning of the interview..typical group memebers sometimes worrying about their shine...Ashine that he peobably wouldn't get as a solo..that was Eddy Grant the moderater was talking to at first..The real Star of the group.

Mar 12, 2011 - Hilton1949, THANK YOU : ) : )

Khultan Says:

Mar 12, 2011 - The short got merely put his arm over the shoulder of Eddy and nothing more. Eddy was very wrong to react that way but the short guy undoes this by slapping Eddy's face and giving the pointing finger 'no, no' to him. Now, that's where he steps over the line.

MrJacksonvill Says:

Mar 14, 2011 - thats what I meant by wanting to get his shine..I hope Eddie reprimanded him in a sever manner back then..I know group dynamics..I was in one where Egos were flying..but the true star always emerge.

Khultan Says:

Mar 14, 2011 - Yes, you're correct.I know about what you say, b-boys are often egocentric too.

pfordsq Says:

Apr 5, 2011 - I always just saw the one - upmanship as a good - natured comedy routine , tho' Eddy does'nt even get a chance to say he's originally from (British) Guyana , not Jamaica. Is this from '67? I always thought "Baby Come Back" came out in '68 in Britain , as well as The U.S. No big deal , just wondered.

pfordsq Says:

Jun 22, 2011 - It's amazing , if this was their only #1 in the UK or on the Continent. I don't think they charted as high for other labels (Baby, Come Back was  lesser hit for RCA in The U.S.)You could listen to one of many 25 , or even 50 ,track compilations , and you'd be hard - pressed to find one bad song.
