Eddy Grant rocks down to Electric Avenue to help flood victims

ALWAYS liked this guy. "Electric Avenue," "Romancing The Stone" and "Boys In The Street" may have been the hits, but my favorite will always be "Living On The Front Line" ("Oh, mama mama you got me...living on the front line")...it's like the great lost Bob Marley song.

Singer Eddy Grant wants to use his music to help victims of floods that killed at least six people and displaced thousands of residents in his native Guyana, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Grant, best known for the 1980's hit "Electric Avenue," is planning to donate proceeds from upcoming music projects to relief efforts in the South American country, said Josanne Leonard, the singer's spokeswoman.

One year of artist royalties from Grant's upcoming album, "Reparation," will go to relief efforts, as well as half the proceeds from the sale of four Grant commemorative stamps.

More than 40 inches (101 centimeters) of rain have fallen in Guyana since Dec. 26, including more than 27 inches (68 centimeters) this month alone. An average of 8 inches (20 centimeters) normally falls in January.
