There will never be music like this again .This is 2024 and look at the music that is passing for soca/calypso today. Thank God for The mighty sparrow. He is the greatest.
Did you know? Once upon a time, in Grand Cayman, Sparrow picked on a woman in the audience and made up a song about her. You know Sparrow and his made up songs. She was the Governor's wife. Sparrow was banned from the Cayman Islands. Lol So ridiculous I have to laugh.
although irrelevant - im a so-called black "yankee" from new jersey! in 1986 - while in college - north carolina - // somebody gave me a non descript cassette tape - no writing on it - i put in in my "cassette player" and MAGIC came out - MIGHTY SPARROW - lol - the entire tape!! been a huge loyal "loving" listener and "feeler of his music" ever since. opened me up to International music - GOD BLESS. the SPARROW !!
I love SOCA . I am from Ukraine. First time I heard SOCA in 1982. Since that time I am listening 🎧 this beautiful music. LOVE SOCA.❤ My best friend is Trinidadian. I am calling him Mister Trini. Thank you for wonderful 👍 music.
Hi. You have to expose them to the music. My sons sing sometimes without realizing. 29 and 22. I smile sweetly when I hear the younger one singing because when I play the music he grumbles 😂
What a performance! Where has this been hiding? This is phenomonoal! Who would believe this was recorded exactly a year after Sparrow was in a coma and out of commission for a short period? The selections on this video ,in which he speaks English, French, Spanish and "down home Trini and Grenadan"!: *Margarita - 0:01 *Doh Back Back - 7:58 *Drunk ’n’ Disorderly - 12:21 *Miss Mary - 18:37 *Jane - 21:18 *Royal Jail - 22:38 *Deadwood Dick 0 24:24 *Sa Sa Yea - 27:02 *Only A Fool - 29:12 *El Reloj - 32:57 *Jean & Dinah - 38:25 *Lizard - 40:39 *Obeah Wedding - 42:17 *Ten to One - 44:32 Please also look up his live version of "Sparrow Dead.", which was not included here!
Can you please tell me what year is this show? Wish he could still perform. Sparrow has & is the only BEST entertainer & writer. The writers today will never come close to him. The lyrics are just superb. Out of this world. Wish our writers would go back down this road. Calypso back then was indeed Calypso.
Love Sparrow no one will ever be as good vocally, verbally,and funny as Sparrow as for his dancing and moves on stage no one can move like him.He was borne with a talent no one can take that away from him. Bless him❤😂

I HAD THE HONOR TO BE ON THE SAME SHOW TWICE WHERE THE CALYPSO KING WAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION IN TAMPA AND IN NEW YORK..AND ALSO WENT TO MOST OF HIS PRESENTATION IN PANAMA, CENTRAL AMERICA. DEAR SPARROW, CHUBBY ,SAILOR MAN ETC.
@TRINIDAD YACHT CLUB 1956 After his Crowning as King Calypso for the very first time I was so privileged to be there! Such a great performance by the Mighty Bird! It was "Jean and Dinah" . Never to be forgotten! Love this ""Classic Hits Live "".
No no noooh, they’re spell bound by this man’s artistry on stage performing splendidly at his age, captivating the audience, keep viewing and see what happens thereafter when starts “Ten-to-One”
Any topic...any language...name a next entertainer in the world..dead or alive who could do that...just Dr. Bird...not MJ...nobody...is Spanish,Dutch,French,Japanese,a host of African language/dialects etc...and we all know that he has sung on every topic possible..just continue browsing youtube you'll see.
I listen to him night and day I love him I'm going to st as rt calling him grandpa I am so much younger but I love him just the same hello grandpa I love love you
I don't know how these ppl can sit down no way the take too long to stand up Alyuh mad I will be dancing from first tue sparrow the boss ok soca he pave the way for soca today so I'm sadden when I see ppl singing stupidness and say his soca
What a boring audience,those people should be jumping and wailing from the begining...no one should be sitting down...have respect for the calypso king of the world.
All those (somewhat old people ?) on their ass, its pathetic. We have the same here in some "rock" concerts too !! too old in their mind, or too ashamed to stand up and dance, what a torture ;)
Today would be my mom Gurtrude Giddings 75th birthday sadly she lost her battle to breast cancer in May . I am playing Sparrow songs Tribute to her memory. Mighty Sparrow was her favorite singer I grew up listening to his songs as a little girl we had every record he released. THANKS !!! to Mighty Sparrow for making my mom happy throughout the years with his songs. RIP MOM !! love you
Drunk and Disorderly is so awesome and party mood, how can the crowd be sleeping, praise to the Mighty Sparrow only the ladies in the front row are ready to dance at the end of the concert the audience finally woke up and started to dance
I cried so much when I listen to these nostalgic tunes . You made our lives so happy with music THE GREAT MIGHTY SPARROW. WE LOVE YOU FOREVER. STILL LISTENING ON IN 2021. GREETINGS FROM GUYANA. 💞💞💞💞💞❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
