Another 1977 single, "Every Step I Made",[2] found a wider audience by way of inclusion in Eddy Grant's "Smash Disco Hits on ICE" compilation.

Grant's 1987 single "Mash in Guyana" proved a major success in his country of birth, and has been described as "the unofficial anthem of Mashramani".

[5] Grant performed the song at the Notting Hill Carnival and it went on to top the first soca chart in London, published by the Black Echoes music paper.
