It reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Grant’s first British top 10 hit for five years.
Eddy Grant is a Guyanese-British singer. He had chart hits in the 1980s, his most recent one prior to this single in 1984. “Gimme Hope Jo’anna” was targeted at the South African apartheid National Party government and apartheid culture after Grant had visited Africa. It included several references to South African culture. The song ends on an optimistic note of hope that the apartheid system would end soon, which it ultimately did in 1991. The song was Grant’s first release in over a year.
