Mighty Sparrow – the Calypso Genius vol. 1
National Recording Company Limited 1966

Oh Man
You left me laughing my head off with the ‘old pervert’ comment

Perhaps its just a stage thing a la MJ crotch grabbing ( Was MJ pervert? :) or the hip hop artists whose hands always rest on their crotches?

Thanks again for the many wonderful LPs

wuod k

Crotch clutching serves a useful purpose, i.e. it fulfills the need to “tally me bananas”.

I love vintage calypso. Thanks for this and all the wonderful music you have turned me on to. I encourage you to keep posting.

Super! Keep them great calypso records coming! /Regards from Sweden

Have you seen that ? You and me on a jamboree took my files and posted them without telling anything about the GG where he found it. Shame on them. If you take a close look at the picture, even a blind man can see this is mine. Now I understand why they have NOT one link of any other blog on that page. Shame !

Mighty Sparrow – the Calypso Genius vol. 1 1966
(Honestly,
I loved this record and did not
know it was brand spankin’ new
when I heard it
for the first very time.)

Hi man1!
I am son of cold water flats
“Trini-poor-dads”. In 1966, my dad
was sent by the U.S.A.F. where angels fear to tread… the south china sea island chain. I was
fat and flabbergasted at the second
grade level in New York’s “Jail for black kids”- P.S. 116 elementary school.
I hated M.L.K. isms,
because his
speeches forced the people of Portland, Oregon U.S.A.
(white America of where I was)
to return to a racially divided and family divided Anarchy of
Jamaica, New York.
Now, your 1 record, cleared up issues about why my imported
family does not speak “the Queen or Kings english”(worked!). I loved this particular album for voicing the concerns of females in terms of losing someone who has not left this world, through the sympathy of a man, who has lost a spirit that cannot be reclaimed. This January 2010,
my Mother, Alice Charlotte Gamory-Mitchell ( of Syd Joe feat.
Sandy Gamory[my Grandfather] fame-been gone ),
Port Au Prince, Trinidad Carib’ “Passed for White” at a spanish catholic mission in Fairfield, California
called Holy Spirit Church.
I Appreciated your
Long humor and your Thin tales
for years, in fact, this 1 album
of yours gave me a glance into the future of living, loving and losing someone you hold on to for dear life, years before it really mattered. This 1 album spoke not to me but to the heart of a dialect that was forbidden to me.
Seriously, , I like your 1 album because your
lyrics bring our family together
in ways that young black kids
the United States of America,
could not. I was of the new born carib’ in this strange, jewish country
and have the scars to prove that
they “hit the thing before it grows too long to compete against them” .
I grew up. I accepted DAVID IKE. I personally hooked the others kids on this particular 1 album.
I miss your spirit (when you were young),
yet, you have sow of your own that only know you as Father.
Thanks a bunch.
