We’ve got fond memories of “Electric Avenue,” but never once have we asked or cared about who sang the 1983 track. In fact, we never actually thought about the song having a singer. It just sort of existed.
Imagine our surprise, then, when we stumbled upon this video sung by the one, the only, the virtually anonymous Eddy Grant. Apparently the Guyana born, British-bred singer had a number of other tracks. And, yes, they’re entertaining. For a Tuesday afternoon, at least.
After the jump: “How Do You Feel My Love” and “I Don’t Want To Dance”.
