The Charmer - Is She Is Or Is She Ain't
Back to Calypso for this curiosity: is he is Louis Farrakhan? Apparently he was.

Frankie Paul - Not A Pretty Gal
Roaring Lion's 'never make a pretty woman your wife' reminded me. Different generation, same archipelago.

Becket - Gal Ah Rush Me
Here's a song about a haircut:
Since I take this "gal ah rush me" trim
It's like my whole life just begin
Everybody say its true
The Becket lookin brand new
Since I take this new hairstyle
All the girls goin wild
From the time I leave the barber
Gal ah rush me...
Since I take this "gal ah rush me" trim
It's like my whole life just begin
Everybody say its true
The Becket lookin brand new
Since I take this new hairstyle
All the girls goin wild
From the time I leave the barber
Gal ah rush me...

Tribute to Roaring Lion
Found it! He sings Mary Ann starting at about 4:35 but the whole thing is worth is worth watching.
Roaring Lion - Ah Nora Darling
One of the greatest Calypsonians of all time... if I ever find his classic "Mary Ann" I'll post it right away.
Lord Kitchener - Sugar Bum Bum
Time for some calypso I think... first up, the late great Lord Kitchener.
