For those who were partying in NY: At the Loft this came on around noon, just when you thought you had danced your last dance for the morning. Memories. you know who you are!
My first Reggae song I danced to and it was played all night in a big warehouse with a bunch of Rastas!!!! This was the start of my love for Reggae music!
Tube el placerr de conocerlo,personalmente ,cuando vino a Buenos Aires,Argentina y me firmoo un autografo !!.yo? Felizz..Eddie un GRANDE,sencillo y muy simpatico ☺..Hermoso recuerdo..
I am a white male who was into heavy rock at this time. I remember lying in my bed listening to radio Caroline in the early 1980s, no booze, no drugs, and I was completely blown away by this track, that went on for about 10 minutes, it was a turning point in my life that I've never forgotten.
Que años los 80,s , aprendí con esta música a ser dj's y jamás lo olvidaré a los que me enseñaron este oficio, gracias Rubén, o Nebur , de Berazategui ,
Un clásico que no puede faltar en "LA NOCHE DE LA NOSTALGIA" en Uruguay, todos los 24 de Agosto sale todo un país a celebrar los '80 y '90 siendo la noche en que mas se reúne la mayoría de la población en bailes, fiestas familiares y restaurantes , imperdible !!!
Remember this track listening over and over in my grandma's house, shortening the long days, she was ahead of her time as this song is....masterpiece !
I was a young black man (teen actually) when I was exposed to, "Living on the Front Line". It has helped to shape my priority list. Thank you Mr. Grant. Jah Be praised for you.
the loft...garage...bonds..this epic dance orchestration takes me right back to those places and period. it was an amazing time where my soul connected with music. I haven't found that connection since but I still have the memories and emotions that come up when I hear the classics like this. thanks eddy for being a part that.
Good comment! I was "born in da wrong time" for this. A part of my childhood, this contributed to my exploration of reggae in the 80s. He started something in Britain I think, amazing times. Punk/reggae alliance became so important, then 2tone (my time).
I love this song. I remember watching Eddy Grant on Saturday Night Live.....He was playing his guitar on this song. He took his guitar and literally played it with his ass.....laid it down on the stage and let his reverb take over, I said to myself this dude ain't for no shit...... never saw anyone do that before !!!!!
La gran Petra, si alguien supiera tantos recuerdos, aún de gente que ya no está, digan lo que digan los 80 fueron los mejores años de la música mundial
Très bonne chanson 🎶qui respire la liberté et la justice 🙏🗽l égalité et la fraternité 🤲contre la CORRUPTION !!!!!😘❤👏🎶🌼⚘💫en tout genre !comme le dit si bien monsieur jean luc Mélenchon 😘🦁❤🇨🇵qui est un homme honnête et très humain et très bon 🤲🗽🙏🌻🎶🌍🥁🎹🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎧🎤🎵🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤
I remember being on the dancefloor of The Paradise Garage, and asking a brother who was this ? He told me it was Eddy Grant. On that Richard Long system, that sound brought out all the things that Eddy put into this song. Then Larry mixing the instrumental like it was all one record, would put you in a fucking amazing zone that I will never forget... The message in that song still holds true to this day.

Proper music and singing and lyrics, not the rubbish of the last twenty years
My first Reggae song I danced to and it was played all night in a big warehouse with a bunch of Rastas!!!! This was the start of my love for Reggae music!

Catchy. Yes I'm listening to in 2023 😊
My mother loved playing this song when I was young. Timeless masterpiece 🔥
Your mum must have been way cool. I found this track lying around on a mix tape my parents had. those were the days.
My uncle used to play it's a lot too when I was young and sounds just as great as it were back then
James Richards can’t have said it any better this was in heavy rotation on her record player…rip my moms ❤
Wore the vinyl down listening to this back in the day. Change will come one day. Live long Eddy!

Heard this late night on Detroit WJLB MOJO Funk-a-tears! Great flashback memories
That was when WJLB was an actual good radio station before it turned into the trashy rap crap station it is now!!!
