(with Sting, 1995) "Baby Come Back" is a song originally written by Eddy Grant, and performed and recorded by him and the rest of his band The Equals, a multi-racial group from North London, England. In terms of genre it was a mixture of rock and roll and beat, very much reflecting the London sound of the 1960s. It was originally released in 1966, a year after the band formed, but did not chart. However after impressive sales in the rest of Europe (it reached #1 in Belgium and The Netherlands) the song was re-issued on 1 May 1968 and reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart on 3 July 1968 spending three weeks there. In all the song stayed in the UK Top 75 for 18 weeks.

The Pato Banton 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 the reggae style and Banton added his own verses between the Campbell's singing the original hook and chorus.

"Baby Come Back" by Pato Banton was a number one hit single in the UK. It was released on 19 September 1994 and entered the chart for the week ending 1 October 1994 at #16, and rose rapidly thereafter, reaching #1 in its 5th week on the chart, where it stayed for four weeks.
