Born in Guyana Eddy Grant’s mother and father relocated the family to the UK when he was still a child. By the age of 23 he already had a #1 hit with the band The Equals but also suffered a heart attack due to stress from their touring schedule. Grant decided to take a time out and eventually opted to leave the band for a self-paced recording studio and solo career. A decade later his popularity soared once again and by the mid 1980s he moved his family to Barbados as a shelter from the commercial chaos. Soon after Barbados became the home to his second studio which he has used to promote classic Calypso and sign new Soca artists well in to the new millennium. Of course, he’s still trying his hardest to take it easy – but that damn success just keeps getting in the way.

![[ LINK IN BIO ] Here are three more tags often suspected of being fake. Cygnus, College Lane and Vogel. Cygnus is a product of the very late 1990s – perhaps even 1999. It saw most of its action in the early to mid-2000s, so it’s been entering vintage classification for at least 3 years now. College Lane has thrown us for a loop over the years. After doing a deep dive we found it's been around since the 1970s - but they also dabbled in retro prints in the 1990s and early 00s. To make things even more confusing we also found a t-shirt with this tag dated 2007. Vogel, often thought to be a retro tag, like Junk Food, is actually vintage - and it typically appears on specialty tees - in unique colors - or ones with camo or ringer t-shirts. Make sure you're not leaving 🔥behind at the thrifts and click the link in the bio for the full list of suspect, yet legit tags. #vintagetshirts #vintagetshirt #vintagetees #vintagetee #vintageteeshirts #vintageteeshirt](https://www.defunkd.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
