Cy Grant (8 November 1919 – 13 February 2010) was a Guyanese actor, musician, writer and poet. In the 1950s, he became the first black person to be featured regularly on television in the United Kingdom, mostly due to his appearances on the BBC current affairs show Tonight.
Following service in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, Grant worked as an actor and singer, before establishing the Drum Arts Centre in the 1970s. In the 1980s, he was appointed director of Concord Multicultural Festivals. A published poet and author of several books, including his 2007 memoir Blackness and the Dreaming Soul, Grant was made an Honorary Fellow of Roehampton University in 1997, and a member of the Scientific and Medical Network in 2001. In 2008, he assisted in the founding of an online archive to trace and commemorate Caribbean airmen of the Second World War.
A father of four children, Grant lived with his wife, Dorith, in Highgate, London.
Grant was born in the village of Beterverwagting, Demerara, British Guiana (modern-day Guyana), one of seven children in a close-knit middle-class family. His father was a Moravian minister and his mother a music teacher originally from Antigua. At the age of 11, he moved with his family to New Amsterdam, Berbice. After leaving high school, Grant worked as a clerk in the office of a stipendiary magistrate but was unable to study law overseas due to a lack of funds.

Plot: At overcrowded Westgate Penitentiary, where violence and fear are the norm and the warden has less power than guards and leading prisoners, the least contented prisoner is tough, single-minded Joe Collins. Most of all, Joe hates chief guard Captain Munsey, a petty dictator who glories in absolute power. After one infraction too many, Joe and his cell-mates are put on the dreaded drain pipe detail; prompting an escape scheme that has every chance of turning into a bloodbath.

Il me disait y'a qu'le look qui compte
Et moi bien sûr j'me suis pas rendu compte
Qu'il regardait par dessus mon épaule
Cette fille lui a fait le coup du sang chaud
Et moi j'avais pas la couleur de peau
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait : let's go
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Il rêvait tout haut
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
C'est vrai qu'ici c'est pas les paillettes
C'est pas non plus la mort qui nous guette
Derrière les grands chapeaux, les sombreros
Et moi j'les trouve trop sucrés leurs sirops
Même si l'soleil d'ici n'brille pas si haut
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait : let's go
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Rythmo latino
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
A chacun ses héros
Lui Dario Moreno
Moi Police ou Toto (calypso, una storia retro)
Moi Elton ou Bowie
Et lui Luis Mariano (calypso, amore pasado)
Moi Janis ou Carly
Et lui Gloria Lasso (calypso)
Calypso
C'est pas l'homme qu'il me faut
A chacun ses héros
Moi Police ou Toto
Lui Dario Moreno (calypso, amor latino)
Adios Roico,
Hasta luego
