2019 and this tune still gets me in a boogie thank god I brought a car with a cassette player
1979, Argentine.
The song sounded in all the discos.
We were dancing a deep protest song all the time and we didn't know it.
We were so young, so ignorant, so stupid.
1.979, Argentina.
La canción sonaba en todas las discotecas.
Estuvimos todo el tiempo bailando una profunda canción de protesta y no lo sabíamos.
Éramos tan jóvenes, tan ignorantes, tan estúpidos.

How true!

NATHIONAL ANTHEMS!!!!!
Tribute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbBFy5HbZu8
colossal song :)
Good vibration!!
Needs to be added to the playlist on Easy Hits digital radio Australia instead of all that mind numbing mush those twats program.

This song used to inspire us in the 80s as we fought Indonesian occupation of Timor-Leste. We too were born at the wrong time and on the front line. So much better now for Timor's youth.
Fantastic voice,fantastic music.
love this to death ,gave guy with dementia will to carry on,me too.
As I enjoy this badass song, smoking a blunt, I can't help but notice the comments, everyone talking about the days when this melody was playing on the radio, or the pubs, or the disco, then I smile as I am forced to take notice this song never hit the U.S., the U.S. refused to play this melody, #blinders
Hey it played on the Caribbean Radio Station WLIB 1190 AM New York. The Imhotep Gary Bird Show and it was so inspiring. In those days if you were a conscious person you were mentally and literally on the front line every day you left your house. And the Bass is a killer. The words are healthy for people facing oppression or any adversity
I underrated Eddy Grant until I heard this tune! Real rockers music 🖖
Vivo en la fronteraaa grande eddy saludos de chile

hash tag frontline
the greatest reggae singer ever just behind god ...BOB MARLEY...
*CHUUUUUUUUNNNEEEEEE*
Bass line fat ☺
Me From Baltimore Always On The Frontline!
Along with steel pulse and black uhuru you fucking made me dance eddy. Thanks .this song is a fucking classic.
The truth cannot be denied! Then they all sounded like boastful conformers! Surely it is a good song and he has several but what a insult to the many many reggae artist, much music and blessed straight and narrow path never to achieve commercial success. Why? Because the focus of evils seed is on the negative. I implore you all to research your likings and listen to reggae in abundance.
Love this intro. Reminds me of a reggae cassette we had in the 90's when I were a lad
Loving On The Frontline ~

OOOOOHHHHHHH que ritmo!!!!!!
Big memory on holidays in England and Wales in the late seventees as a teenager on my Honda 50 cc moped, evenings at a row in a pub where the song was often played, vinyl of course, greetings from Haarlem Holland
Eddy, you are so underrated. What an incredible musician!!
I agree. Love his music.
he is much better than this suck marley...
no my friend one thing doesn´t replace the other...they both are genious
And lyricist. How many pip musicians use words such as abhor?
@nikoloz botchorishvili I'm not a big Bob Marley fan, but he deserves respect for what he did.
Yeah Baby , Lectrifyin' Mojo
Tru...Tru...Honk your horn, flash your lights, and if your feelin' you're at the end of your rope; tie a knot and keep hangin' Eastside Northend/Clay/Oakland
Ah Memories !! Apex Bar
Midnight Funk Association
I remember this track my dad had it on vinyl and I just found it
Although this predated the infamous 1981 riots by two years,the Frontline = Railton Road,Coldharbour Lane,Brixton referenced here?,and Electric Avenue in another of his songs in 1982-83.
Interesting observation there Ralph
But I also remember reference to the Toxteth riots of 1981
Why , because my Dad was a well known owner of a certain Establishment at That time in Liverpool City Centre.
Ill give you a clue, the then Police Commissioner of Merseyside Police was a Guy Named Kenneth Oxford ( Now a Sir)
And he told Dad that the Said Club is now in " Lock Down"
I was 16 years of age at the time when these high ranking bobbies walked into Dads Club, thinking its a raid ;)
+Paul Williams I was 16 at that time as well,but not as close to the excitement kicking off then as you were!
He's a hackney man, so could have been sandringham rd
although one of his songs is electric avenue
I have been searching for this. Thank you so much.
I remember this being played every morning at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning for about three months solid on Radio London back when it came out. The lyrics were ingrained in my mind as a kid, and they have seriously shaped my view of the world ever since.
Ayyyyyy!!!!!
Neiber Viva i
Amazing artist!!
Brilliant
Yeah . uh-huh . Living on the frontline . Song Just plain Rocks .
vrh brate
Me, no want to shoot Palestines , Oh I have land, oh I have mine.
