Ok I have searched high and low in every corner of the internet and this is my last hope at finding the answer. In around 1984 MTV played a video called "Baby Come Back" It is not the song by player. I have been trying to find out who it was with no luck does anyone remember? If so please email me before I go nuts :)

gothichippy, the only other song I know by that name was from much later, 1994, and was by UK reggae artist Pato Banton. He was a friend and collaborator of the band UB40, and they played on the song as well. It's an uptempo reggae number...actually it's a cover version of an old 60s hit by The Equals (featuring Eddy Grant). However I'd be surprised if there was ever a video to go with The Equals' original (from 1968 ).

I'm convinced that it's Eddy with The Equals too, because roughly about 1983/84 Eddy was riding high with the success of his 'Killer On The Rampage' LP (that's the one with 'I Don't Wanna Dance & 'Electric Avenue' on there)...

So, I would imagine MTV were plundering the video archives to show people what he was up to over a decade previously...

There was no promo video of the original release (as maddog rightly states), but what you probably saw gothichippy, was a 'mimed' VT appearance on either 'Top Of The Pops' (possibly unlikely as many of these were wiped), or on the excellent German 'Beat Club' (who retained a lot of their archive...) as it was a major hit over there too...

....not sure about the video, but Billy Rankin had a song called "Baby Come Back" chart around that time (not very high on the Hot 100)......

The Mighty Wah had a hit called 'Come back' around 1984 . . .
