The Road to Reparation is the very best of Eddy Grant, a most talented musician/producer/arranger/singer etc.etc.etc. Their are no end to his talents. He has been a recording artist since 1965 when he formed his band The Equals. But his main concentration of hits started in 1979 with his Walking On Sunshine and the massive hit Living On The Frontline. His singles' success had continued uninterrupted across "Do You Feel My Love," "Can't Get Enough of You," and "I Love You, Yes I Love You." A phenomenal live album, Live at Notting Hill, was recorded in August 1981 during London's Notting Hill Carnival. The following year's Killer On The Rampage slew its way into both the British and American charts, where it landed at number ten. The album spun off "I Don't Wanna Dance," which topped the chart in the U.K., while the exhilarating "Electric Avenue," from his next album, Going For Broke, landed at number two on both sides of the Atlantic.
Nothing else would equal these dizzying heights. Three more singles followed by the end of 1984, but none managed to break into the Top 40. In the U.S., only one, "Romancing the Stone," actually made the chart. British gave the artist one last Top Ten hit in 1988 with "Gimme Hope Jo'anna.
