Eric Lamont (23 September 1955 – 31 December 1993), better known as Bingy Bunny, was a Jamaican guitarist and singer who worked and played with the Roots Radics and The Morwells. He is regarded as one of Jamaica's most important and innovative guitarists.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Lamont began his career as half of a duo with Bongo Herman, recording "Know Fari" in the early 1970s for producer Derrick Harriott. In 1973 he joined Maurice Wellington in the Morwells, Lamont and Wellington also forming a production team, and at the same he time worked as a session musician. Productions from the duo included Jah Lloyd's Black Lion and Prince Hammer's Bible. When the Morwells disbanded in 1981, Lamont joined up with Lincoln Valentine "Style" Scott and Noel "Sowell" Bailey to form the Roots Radics. The Roots Radics soon became Jamaica's most in-demand session band, working with the likes of Mikey Dread, Gregory Isaacs, Barrington Levy and Bunny Wailer.

Lamont also recorded as a singer while with the Morwells and released two solo albums in 1982, Me & Jane and Bingy Bunny & Morwells as well as a string of singles.

The Roots Radics Band is a Jamaican reggae group / backing band, formed in 1978 by bass player Errol "Flabba" Holt, guitarist Eric "Bingy Bunny" Lamont and drummer Lincoln "Style" Scott. The nucleus of Holt and Lamont had previously worked together in the group The Morwells and in the backing band for Prince Far I called The Arabs. They were joined by many musicians, including guitarist Noel "Sowell" Bailey, Dwight Pinkney and Steve Golding, keyboard player Wycliffe "Steelie" Johnson, Pianist Gladstone "Gladdy" Anderson and saxophonist Headley Bennett. As a combined force the Roots Radics became a well-respected studio and stage band, which dominated the sound in the first half of the 1980s. In addition to their own catalogue, they have worked with artists such as Bunny Wailer, John Holt, Junior Reid, Yellowman, Gregory Isaacs, Michael Prophet, Eek-A-Mouse, Israel Vibration and Johnny Clarke and many others.
