Equals
“Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys” (Shout) 1971
by Wax Poetics
This one is a revolution sure shot! East London’s Equals transformed themselves from hard-rocking, Vespa-riding dandies to deranged funk adventurers in the space of just a few years with the help of lead vocalist Eddie Grant, who can be heard screaming himself hoarse on this pro-integration, anti-war dance-floor filler. Though the Equals’ entire catalog is worth perusing, this is their finest moment.
