Die aus Jamaika stammenden Brüder Derv und Lincoln Gordon gründeten die Equals 1965 in London. Weitere Bandmitglieder waren Pat Lloyd und John Hall aus London sowie der später als Solist erfolgreiche Eddy Grant. Der Name der Band spielt darauf an, dass in ihr - in den 60er Jahren noch ungewöhnlich - schwarze und weiße Musiker zusammen spielten. 1966 erhielt die Band einen Plattenvertrag. Die erste Single im gleichen Jahr war I Won’t Be There, die vor allem in Holland und Deutschland erfolgreich war. Baby Come Back wurde der Superhit der Gruppe. Weitere Hits waren z. B. I Get So Exited, Laurel & Hardy, Green Light und Viva Bobby Joe. 1976 lösten sich die Equals auf. Der Revival-Boom Ende der 1980er brachte jedoch auch die Equals zurück auf die Bühne. Die neue Besetzung bestand neben den Urmitgliedern Derv Gordon (Gesang) und Pat Lloyd (Bass) aus Ronnie Telemaque (Schlagzeug) und David Martin (Gitarre).

  • The Equals, brittisk popgrupp bildad i London, England år 1965. Gruppmedlemmarna var alla mycket unga då de bildade gruppen. Medlemmar i gruppen var tvillingarna Dervin Gordon och Lincoln Gordon, sångaren Eddy Grant, trummisen John Hall och basisten Pat Lloyd. 1967 gavs "Hold Me Closer" ut, men det var b-sidan "Baby Come Back" som man blev en hit. Låten blev en hit i Tyskland och Nederländerna, och snart också i Storbritannien. Efter succén fick gruppen två stora hits till, "Viva Bobby Joe" och "Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys". 1971 lämnade Grant gruppen och sökte lyckan som solo-artist. Fler medlemmar har tillkommit med åren.
