Awww The Mighty Sparrow, My Mom favorite Soca Artist and today is her Heavenly Birthday, I know you are up there Partying and listening to your Favourite Guy..Here’s To You Mummy🥳🥳❣️😻missed you so so much😭😭😭😭
Before Sparrow flies away, he must be internationally acknowledged as one of the world's greatest Calypso artists, in the category of Belafonte and Marley. Greetings from Aruba!
My Mother was born in Trinidad,,and my Dad was a ww2 navy man stationed at the now closed Navy base in Trinidad,,where he married my Mom,,after the war my parents moved to Tampa. Florida,,we had alot of family in Trinidad and all the family would come visit and i remember as a kid them playing all Sparrow music at parties they threw at home, grew up listening to Sparrow,,and still love that music now in 2020,,will never forget those good times , with Sparrow playing on the record player,,,
Gregg I bet you and I would have a lot to talk about! My mother was also born in Trinidad, and she met my father in the mid to late 1950s, he was in the Navy stationed at the old base in Chaguaramas. I grew up listening to this music, my mother loved it, and every party we had when I was a kid had this great music as the soundtrack to it! We also lived in Central Florida (about 100 miles north of the Tampa Bay area) so it's probably safe to say we had a very similar upbringing! I grew up with this music and it sounds even better today, still fresh and brings back the most amazing memories also for me.
I grew up in the 50's his music was always heard at our House on a Sunday, my step-dad would play his music, and we would dance in the Living-Room. MEMORIES.
Yes, It is 2019, and the Mighty Sparrow will be 84 on July 9th! - and I am lucky enough to be playing trumpet in his band in New York City July 5, 2019 at Summerstage (Springfield Park - Queens), and July 6 at Joe’s Pub at the public Theater in NYC!) www.fearlessdreamer.com
I am here rolling because I put this song on and my mom let loose and she singing word to word😁🤭😂🥰. My mom is A Trini to The Bone💯👀. It's nice to see her dancing and keep telling me let's go Trinidad and play Mass..😂😁
Anyone listening in 2020. I could think of no better artist than the one and only Slinger Francisco ORTT CMT OBE, better known as Mighty Sparrow, to cheer me up during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. As a child in Uganda 🇺🇬 in the 1979s, we played many songs of the Calypso King of the World to walk away our blues and bring a smile to our faces. My father had studied in the US 🇺🇸 in the late 1950s where he’d fallen in with Caribbean students who introduced him to the greatest Grenadian calypso vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist. As a student in the US 🇺🇸 in the 1990s, it was the Mighty Sparrow that partly kept me company as an undergrad and grad student. And now, so many years later, here I am in Tanzania 🇹🇿 returning to the old tunes of perhaps the best-known and most successful calypsonian. Hats off to the big man! Much love from out here across the oceans.
Well said. One of the greatest calypsonians of all time. But he is from Trinidad. I am from the Caribbean and I grew up listening to his songs Cheers from St. Lucia
I like hundreds of thousands around the globe that agrees that the mighty Sparrow is the one and only King that ever graced the calypso arena. He will never be matched or equaled. And, one does not have to be from Trinidad or Granada to embrace this fact, thank you.
🇹🇹 Kitchener, the greatest Calypsonian and Grandmaster of Calypso, Sparrow the King of Calypso, Lord Shorty the King and creator of Soca, Baron the King of Sweet soca music 🇹🇹🇹🇹 🇹🇹
The mighty sparrow he is the greatest to come out of the Caribbean ever since I was child i love his music i was about six years i grow up lessoning to his music and now i am 38 and i still lesson to his music i love this legend king of calypso the mighty sparrow ❤❤❤🎉
My folks came to England in '62 from home, carrying some children, suitcases and a clutch of Sparrow albums. Everything that's Trini, tunes that are timeless.. "Mighty Mighty"
By the grace of God I was fortunate to grow up (born late 60's) in the lower Caribbean surrounded by the sweet sounds of the Mighty Sparrow and his amazing contemporaries. The importance of music in maintaining a harmonious and civil society is so underrated it can only be fully understood through a reflection of those of us who have lived through Calypso's renaissance. Be it Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, TnT, etc. where I've lived or visited (thx LIAT) in my younger years had that common mysticism of happiness and joy. It's no coincidence that music is the foundation of our peaceful and loving culture. I suggest we don't let this music, our dialects and story telling disappear. We need it to maintain our cultural identity.
My dad's favourite...The Mighty Sparrow. He would come dancing into the kitchen in his shirtjack and shorts. Miss him so so much..and my dear land of Guyana! Long live on the music of the Sparrow ..a musical legend!
Lord Kitchener and Mighty Sparrow had been my favourites since i was a toddler. I grew up into Mighty Sparrow. and have loved his music sice then. My children fell in love his music because I was always playing. They loved the music and the lyrics. We are a famiiy of calypsonians and worshippers of Mighty Spasrrowi
Babatunde Ikotun OMG! I'm so glad i stumbled upon your comment. I grew up listening to Socal Calypso on Raypower 100.5fm in Lagos on Sundays 10am-12pm every Sundays hosted by Abraham Doe (Bless his soul) I can't possibly put in words how it changed my life, they discontinued the show few years ago & it was like my life took a different turn. I miss it so much.
Grenada 🇬🇩 gave the World one of the G.o.a.t's of Calypso. Born in Grenada went to live in Trinidad at age 11 and the rest is a Legend!!! Montserrat 🇲🇸🇲🇸 🇲🇸 to Grenada and Trinidad, 2023 and beyond till infinity, Ase' Neteru Maat AmunRa, Namaste 🙏
@lenardbarzey2788 it just means he was a Trinidadian if he grew up in grenada he probably would of been planting yam somewhere 😅😅😅😅 he definitely wouldn't have been a calypsonian
I was raised in Trinidad now living in Florida for over 50 years. I remember as a child about 6 years old singing Sparrow's Jean and Dina. I would get cafenol for singing his songs. I am now 75 and the music still sounds sweet today. He is the greatest to come out of Trinidad.
Grooving to these tunes with my folks early morning here in London UK!! My mum is from Grenada and I just randomly selected this playlist. She had me gobsmacked when she came wining her waist into the room singing all the lyrics off by heart! Thank you for posting this! 🕺❤
Growing up in Grenada during the 80's I was used to waking up early to my mother singing Sparrow songs while preparing breakfast.Myself and the other neighbourhood hoods sang them too.All we knew was that Sparrow was born in Grenada and known as the calypso king of the world.I never understood what an icon this man was until years later.
Well it’s 5:17 in Philadelphia PA I’m listening 👂 to some old soca it’s been a long long time I really do not listen to my own culture music it’s one ☝️ of the best party 🎉 music in the world 🌎
When I was a little girl in school I used to be so protective of my teacher, fearing that the 🦎 lizard will go up her dress, when I grew up and had sex for the first time I realized that was the 🦎 lizard lol. Sparrow good but nasty as hell 💘 love de Sparrow
