Baby, Come Back (album)
Baby, Come Back is an album by British Invasion group The Equals. It was released in 1968 by their UK label, President Records. In the U.S., RCA Victor obtained the rights to manufacture and distribute the album in all of the Americas.
Because it was 'built' around the group's biggest hit (the UK chart-topping single "Baby, Come Back"), this was the group's most commercially successful album, while capturing the group at the peak of their powers, showing off their versatility in playing different styles of music.

Baby, Come Back (The Equals song)
"Baby, Come Back" is a song written by Eddy Grant, and originally performed and recorded by his band The Equals.
The Equals version
The Equals were a group from North London, England. "Baby, Come Back" is a mixture of rock and roll and beat, very much reflecting the London sound of the 1960s. The song was first released in 1966, a year after the band formed, but did not chart. However, after impressive sales in the rest of Europe (it reached the top 10 in Belgium and The Netherlands) the song was re-issued in the UK on 1 May 1968 and reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart on 6 July 1968 spending three weeks there. In all the song stayed in the UK Top 75 for 18 weeks.
Eddy Grant himself released a new version of the song in 1984, 1985 and 1989, without much impact on the charts.
Chart performance
The Pato Banton featuring Ali and Robin Campbell of UB40 version
The song was covered by Pato Banton in 1994 who was joined by Robin and Ali Campbell of UB40. This version was different from the original in that it was in a more conventional, commercial reggae style and Banton added his own verses between the Campbells singing the original hook and chorus.

It's easy to feel like You're all alone To feel like nobody knows The great that you are The good that's inside you Is trying so hard to break through
Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly You won't know if you never try I will be there with you all of the way You'll be fine
[Chorus] Don't let anyone Tell you that you're not strong enough Don't give up There's nothing wrong with just being yourself That's more than enough So come on and raise your voice speak your mind and make some noise And sing Hey, hey Make some noise Hey, hey, yeah
You want to be known You want to be heard And know you are beautiful You have so much to give Some change you wanna live So shout it out and let it show
