The Equals - Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys

translate me please this song.

I saw them in the Jetland in Limerick Ireland in the 60s.

Fantastic days

I love this joint. My mom had it on 45

If only.

Still i Love dat song

The underground LIVES !!!!

Me being out of place at family reunions

Voilà LE meilleur titre des equals, pour le reste ......

I'm gonna play this right out loud now! Because it should be shown we know we love our music and our unity from our past proves our future! We ain't gonna fight no wars! God bless

So much soul

Damn this takes me waay back, back to my teenage self😄😍

This was a such a fun tune to dance to. But I never realized how political it is. Still love it.

Fue escrita por Eddy Grant.

The Equals sonando como James Brown en Sex Machine,un grupo a reivindicar!

Teen age sweaty basement house parties.😅😅

Beautiful early funk with a lot of gorgeous jazz and rock and roll in this band, tbe first interracial rock band in the 60s ❤

LOVE that they wanted to MINGLE the races WAY back then to bring HARMONY to us ALL....talk about PIONEERS!!!???!!!!!....Right-ON!!

Une pépite ce son !!!!!

SANCTUARY. ( nyc). 72

I bought this single pre November 1968 before my family moved to Australia and it certainly wasn't this 'funky' version. It was more Ska/Bluebeat, can anyone help me identify it? Cheers.

Benwell 1982.

I met Eddy a few times back in 79/80, I used to live in Stoke Newington 78 into 81,round the corner from where he had his studio, the Coach House. Friend of mine designed his stage sets and other design work, workaholic was Eddy, very driven, decent bloke. The Equals were superb, bit punky in some ways but madly dancable - if thats even a word. After he moved back to the Carribean, his brothers Alpine and Rudy (The Mexicano) ran the studio - Rudy/Mex was a laugh, nice guy, check out " Move up Starsky". Alpine fancied himself something rotten and kept trying to shag my girlfriend, she told him no, but a bit too polite I thought, so I think Alpine was a bag of shit, still 2 out of 3 aint bad, could be worse, Mum should be proud etc

remember working with the drummer he was still sparkin at 70 nice fella

Used to have the single, doesn't sound the same minus the pops and scratches mine had during the intro... Lol!

utter pish, so bad it should have been banned.

Ein hit aus der unvergesslichen, wilden Zeit in unserem Partykeller in Wilhelmshaven

I was 12 years old when this top tune was being played at my local youth club just two years after Enoch Powell's 'Rivers Of Blood' speech. Well f** you Enoch. We just got on with each other even though we were too young to know what you were trying to stir up. We got on and lived together, despite you and your generations fears.

It's cool👍

Worst song I've ever heard.

Buena musica de entonces

NO WAR.

There is a good cover version by The Specials.

The Equals were great!

A truly great song that will be remembered 100 years from now

Memories! Loved this!

Eddy Grant straight outta Guyana 🇬🇾

flip side, Softly Softly is WAY BETTER

I remember this song in early 1975. Later a classic at The Paradise Garage. Wow! What great memories. 😊

Baby come back❤

Disco dönemi ❤

Big Country do a fantastic cover of this one. Great Tune!

Eddie Grant is so criminally underrated in modern music

Quality tune 1luv 😎

Born in 74'. An MTV kid in the early 80's....we were given "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant. A total anthem. No idea of what rasta was. No idea what his background was. Now, approaching 50, I know now how he came into the scene and how amazing his career has been. I feel cheated. In my early 20's I was really into 60's garage rock/mod music. 
Like-wise, early Eurthymics (the first album) and their previous band "The Tourists" had escaped me until the last 10 years. Both are great "pre-new wave" listens.

I was brought here via learning the clash covered police on my back and then Learning the specials covered this on their final album
