Ooooopa soy de la 3ra edad y escucho esta canción y me traslado a la época donde si en verdad verdad si se escuchaba excelente música no como actualmente de tantos músicos que son un fraude
When I first heard the song I was 8 years old I couldn't speak English I came from another country and when I heard this I said whoa this music is awesome in my own language then I began to speak English and this was my favorite song that I love so much this song has a lot of meaning today there is violence in the street and we all need to get together and start the violence and stop the hate against all Races against people that have different nationalities homosexuality Etc we should not judge we should accept people and let God be being control of what is right and what is wrong we should love each other regardless and stop the hating against violence of any situations I wish one day I would meet this guy he is such an amazing person to me his song has a lot of meaning and it really stands out for what's going on in the world back in the day in the 70s in the '80s the '90s and now it's 2000 so violence is still there this song really needs to stand up all across the world to show the world that we can stop the violence regardless of what's going on in the world stand up for what you believe and stand up for what is right and the right way with peace
World peace is bout to happen. Let Father Rathzinger do his love of the world by in Africa. Let the black and Caucasian man in America hug each other . Let the childrens laughter remind us of how we used to be. Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all He had a dream. When children black and white be playing in the Play ⏯️ ground together Michael our main man said WE ARE THE WORLD WE ARE THE CHILDREN WE ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE A BRIGHTER DAY 🌏🇺🇸🇮🇱🇯🇵🇰🇼🇲🇱🇨🇱🇮🇷🇵🇭🇵🇷🇳🇴🇺🇾🏴🇨🇮🇨🇻🇩🇲🇩🇰🇨🇭🇬🇧🇦🇨🇧🇶🇩🇬🇨🇵🇪🇺🇩🇿🇲🇵🇲🇶🇵🇰🇵🇭🇹🇹🇺🇾🏴 SO LET'S START GIVING.There is a choice we're making in sharing our own lives. It's true we make a brighter 🌟 day just you and me. There is a man living in the 🌎 world today who knows the existence of the KING TO ARRIVE SHORTLY. The 🌎 world must agree to a cease fire in their wars and drop all weapons. Still get to respect national borders and hood turfs. If a man can not forgive his brother how can he expect CHRIST to forgive him? And if you are human you are my brother! I love you. HE asked Peter: Do you love me? Peter replied, yes LORD you know that I love you. We are all each other's brother's keeper. Can the MAN heal the sick and dying when the world finally transforms their swords to plow shares? YES HE can! Can this wonderful MAN once again take but a few fish and loaves of bread and feed a hundred or more multitude? YES HE can! God created angels. The athiest scientist would disagree. A simple existence in a dark void we call space on a world once believed to be flat is the womb ot a woman, and since was born as a human he created son of a living GOD who GOD HIMSELF has the ability to transform into material human existence. Can GOD, ELOHIM, JEHOVAH, ALLA, THE ETERNAL DO THIS? YES, HE can!! So, anyway, you tell me who can say I belong to a race, nation, political unity, church, cathedral, temple, mosque, shrine, or maybe even a social group of people who believe they are the few individuals who are the righteous chosen of this biased god? The answer to this question is nobody. Every single hair among thousands is accounted for on our billions of heads in an interaciall planet of a multinational society. Every hair on an afro, under a hair net, twisted in braids or tails, black and red, brown and blonde or white for the senior citizens or that man has no hair GOD loves all. If the man has no hair due to a hatred organization GOD loves him also, but be fully aware that the KINGDOM will have no racists before or after It exists in the spirit world, after the final collection of souls in the era of humanity or any place in the infinite realm of GOD'S universe having no begining or end. There will be no hatred spirits resurrected as the KING of the Earth will not allow; with an army of angels at a minimum multitude of 52,000,000 (52 million) combined but uncountable and perhaps infinite in quantity in an infinite and invisible in 4th dimension spirit light beyond the speed of light. Yes Michael one of the 3 arch angels with Gabriel as Lucifer has fallen have a blockade against racists from supernaturally entering Heaven. This ALLA, ELOHIM,GOD,, JEHOVAH, OR ETERNAL that created the angels created them similar to all of mankind one of mongols watching the Orient and middle East, one of color the African man, and one of no color adaptable to colder climates. Three types of man as begotten of HIM and three types of angels in the spirit kingdom. There will be no racism, sexism, and no biased feelings as we all enter or exit through the gate of pearl in a KINGDOM with steets to walk on made of gold beyond any in the whole world more valuable 10 tiimes. The greatest treasure in the world is wisdom. So, be wise and love yourself first in order to love your brother. Lay down your weapons of bad feelings and pistols of hate. Follow me and you will follow this MAN I know WHO is my brother. HE is coming soon to rule the Earth as KING of kings to the king of China, to the king of America, to the king of France, to the king of Australia, to the king of Saudi Arabia as Mohammed All inhabitants of the world will be rewarded by this MAN. Food for the hungry, shelter from rain, and freezing cold, plenty of goods and services, and worship him whether burning incense in temple to GOD BUDDHA in mass to GOD living as Spirit in Holy Father, or however you like. Can a man forgive another for bondage and lashing? Yes, we must say in order to consider Egyptian power, the throne of Spain in the Americas, Rome as one time, masters of columns, delicacies, and navy, and but until 1865 in the United States man has been considered property and not a free human being.

Tengo 58años y esta canción forma parte de mi juventud de buena música, hoy creo que la juventud no tiene buena música como yo la tuve, Saludos cordiales
One of the first songs I recall listening to as a kid as I was first getting into music. This song never gets old. Glad to see Eddy is still touring and doing well. Timeless classic.
Awesome !!! Im 70 years old,sitting in my rocking chair,and without realizing at first,I was stomping my feet in place.When music and the beat grabs you like that,theres no denying you are listening to a classy piece of tune !!!
Eddy looks and sounds better than ever! I was 13 when I first heard Electric Avenue. We were on a class field trip and the song was blasting on the bus. Great memories. I"m loving the band and the backup singers here.
Eddie grant still has it, this song is a credo for so many of us growing up in the 80s. This song is timeless, eternal, and magical. Eddie thank you for a wonderful song and for all the cherished memories of my youth listening to Electric ave. God bless you my brother and rock on 👍🙏♥️
He was on the news a few was ago on about when he came to England one of the first streets he saw was one called electric Ave he don't look any older I love him x
@@BrendaDrummElectric Avenue is in Brixton south London and is the first steet in the UK to have ekectric lighting. Brixton is the centre of the black community and was the scene of riots in April 1981. This song was released in 1982 and was about the Brixton riots. I grew up in Brixton and was 16 at the time of the riots.
I remember driving with a friend of me, this came on the radio and when we expected it to end it continued on for another couple of minutes, made me shiver to hear this again. LOVE IT!
Whenever this song comes on our playlist at work here in Missouri, I rock out like no one is watching 🎶🎶 I am so proud of you Eddie and I am proud of you our Guyanese son of the soul 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
He was on tv the other day on the news explaining this song electric avenue is a Rd he saw in London when he came to England he hasn't aged a bit a very well educated man
Excellent version of this song. The band played it tight, and I love the way the background singers danced. Mr. Grant, your voice sounds the same as it did when this song first came out. Absolutely fantastic.
I remember listening to this song on 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia. John DeBella and the morning zoo played it a lot and it was voted screamer of the week, for best new song. Keep rocking Eddy 🎸
Santa bárbara do oeste, como eu amava adorava essa música. Muito muito da hora. Eddie Grant que talento fora do comum, Eu e meu irmão curtia pra caramba essa música👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@M4RC05V1N1C1U5 I somewhat thought so that it was somewhere in South America. Many Brazilians have visited my Santa Barbara, and I met quite a few of them. Very friendly nice and polite. Do come up here and pay a visit when you can. You need mucho pesetas to spend some time here.
Only a true composer can perform a song with no actual keychange and progression all in A Major but what makes this song is the rhythm and diphthong in the tempo lyrics! Love ya Eddy! Huge fan

I’m watching this in 2020. I remember when the song came out in 1983; I was 13 then. I loved and still love the song’s Caribbean beat and the catchy chorus. Yet I had a feeling that Eddy had a message in the song’s lyrics, especially because of the beginning “Out in the street, there is violence.” Thanks to the www I learned about the history behind the song. If anything, I’ve read that Eddy has always stood for peace ☮️ This song definitely has stood the test of time.
Wuuoo Wuuoo Wuuoo, Excelente Muy Excelente, Nunca pero nunca pasará de Moda este Gran Éxito De Eddy Grant, Cada vez que Escucho esta Canción retrocedo a mi Juventud.
En 1984 escuché por primera vez está canción, tenía 18 años eran esas discos donde hacían tardeadas para los jóvenes sin venta de alcohol...lo máximo, y ahora a mis 54 años la sigo escuchando
Glad this song is still being appreciated. Thank You!
Lots of work to be done
This song is a classic from my past.
From a heavy metal fan all of my life, I LOVE this song. I remember it as a kid.
We gonna rock down to>> electric avenue and then we'll take it higher.....oh no 4x
I remember this when released!! Is awesome!
Ooooopa soy de la 3ra edad y escucho esta canción y me traslado a la época donde si en verdad verdad si se escuchaba excelente música no como actualmente de tantos músicos que son un fraude
Thanks for your comments and your appreciation of the music.

No place to hang out our washing
And, and I can't blame all on the sun
Oh no we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I am warrior
Can't get food for them kid
Good God we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh no

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no, we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone
Oh no, we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh no, we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town
Oh, we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Rock it in the night) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)
(Rock it, Miami mama, meh) We gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Whoa, in a Brixton) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)

@@ChattieCathie I came for the song, stayed for the drummer 🥰🇺🇦
@@skipacuff5104 YESSS. I always end up watching the drummer. Amazing you said that!!!!
One of my favorite songs from the 80's. He still sounds great.
Used to play this song over and over great song
The best thing about this performance to me is how each person is expressing themselves in their own way. They’re each one of them in the zone.
Only a true composer can perform a song with no actual keychange and progression all in A Major but what makes this song is the rhythm and diphthong in the tempo lyrics! Love ya Eddy! Huge fan
Depois de quase 40 anos o cara ta na ativa saudável e arrebentando com o vozeirão. Nota 1000000000000 pra Eddie Grant
Thanks

Encontré esta versión en vivo y no se cuantas veces la estoy viendo, increíble
One of my favorite versions so far! Love the sped up rhythms!!!❤🎉🎸🎤📢
I’m watching this in 2020. I remember when the song came out in 1983; I was 13 then. I loved and still love the song’s Caribbean beat and the catchy chorus. Yet I had a feeling that Eddy had a message in the song’s lyrics, especially because of the beginning “Out in the street, there is violence.” Thanks to the www I learned about the history behind the song. If anything, I’ve read that Eddy has always stood for peace ☮️ This song definitely has stood the test of time.
See also Eddys song "Give me hope Joanna" about South Africa great lyrics in that song.
It's fantastic Eddy,greetengs from Spain!🎸💯🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🌟❤️💛💚
I love this song, and what a wonderful performance by Eddie Grant, just brilliant.
Full disclosure: I am a big lover of my Guyanese brother EddieG!!!!!

En 1984 escuché por primera vez está canción, tenía 18 años eran esas discos donde hacían tardeadas para los jóvenes sin venta de alcohol...lo máximo, y ahora a mis 54 años la sigo escuchando
Same here
