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.
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 😂
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 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. 💞💞💞💞💞❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@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 "".
My godfather was his friend every time he came to dominica he would visit my God father I also met him on a flight from Barbados but we didn't have smart phones as yet
This man I love so much. When I finally met my Caribbean cousins . I grew up in Los Angeles they mostly lived in New York St. Thomas & St. Croix. It was my uncle birthday so I was invited so that they could meet me. That was the best party I had ever been too. I'll always remember the Mr. Walker and to much wood in the fire, well I fell in 💕 Love with Sparrow and his music that was in 1968 an to this day 9-17-2021 I still love him and his music. He's the best ever.
Roi SPARROW OU BON MENM. I'm 64 years, i knew you since a long time. Me gusta Francisco SPARROW, Calypso and à lot of music. GOD bless you. Je suis un des admirateurs de ta Musique. Par rapport à la putain de covid 19, je ne peux aller à Trinidad. Mais il y a 2 ans tu es passé à l' Atrium en Martinique...... Bravo
I had the cjance of hearing him in 1957. I still have a couple of his 78rpm original recordings and Jean & Diana are there!. In 1959 I could travel to Trinidad last time I was thee and also found an LP by RCA with some of his songs (LPB-9035 = Ñuñu, Keep the City Clean, Monica Dodo, Raphaela, etc.) I still have them all.
When he first bought out this song, all Indians., even the pundits made a ruckus about this song! They banned people from even going to listen to this song. It was a fierce time for Mighty song...but as time wore on, and people started listening to the music finally got a grip of it and that there was true love between of all races, things began to notice the reality of this song. I love this song. "Sexy Marajin". ...just LOVE it's purity and joy of the love this man had for this woman, was incredible!!!!!! Mighty Sparrow, you're the best, babes!!!!Bless you, for ever!!!!!
There is none even close. We have many greats but the Birdie is the bestest of the best. Hit after hit after hit. Makes me feel so sad now learning of his medical condition. Praying for you Sparrow.
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 can clearly remember waking up early mornings in Grenada to my mother singing either'"Melda oh you making wedding plan" or "Jean and Dina" while she made breakfast in the kitchen.Then on rare occasions ,when he was drunk,my father could be heard singing " drunk and disorderly". And as for me and neighbourhood friends,we use to sing,"you see miss Mary bam bam"as soon as the adults were out of earshot, especially when we went to gather mangoes.
I was just telling my wife about the time I took his album (with those same songs you mentioned) on cassette to school in 1995 and a classmate borrowed and never returned it. The only problem was the tape belonged to my sister. It just shows how his music transcended generations.
May 11, 2017 is my 77th The Mighty Sparrow the legend is a must celebration for me.Thank you for keeping we Trinidad & Tobago culture waxed. The Poet says.
Beautiful Brings back Memories of Childhood.. Sparrow should be Revered. I were at one if his Concerts in Barbados 1981.. He Bill Trottman King Austin.. I cooked for Bill.. that week end.. Took pics with them.. was Euphoric.. I hope Sparrow is doing well.. 🇺🇸😍😍💃🙏🙏
I am having a ball listening to the Mighty Sparrow. I used to be one of the first in line at the Globe Theatre when he came to perform police had to be there to stop us from going on stage with the Mighty Sparrow.this concert brought back so many memories..
The one and only Mighty Sparrow. The Calypso King of the world. Thanks for the memories whether in a bumper to bumper. Brooklyn or Miami fete, concert or jumping up in a 5,000+ masquerader Carnival band in Trinidad and Tobago.
I was so fortunate to see him live in 2009 in a park in Queens NY.. I was home and I started hearing the music and I went to see what was going on and it was him performing live in a wheelchair.. I didn’t really know who he was, so I called my mom and she went crazy I had to go pick her up so she can see him and I was amazed at how my mom was enjoying herself.. I started listening to his music on my own and fell in love with it.. some things I didn’t understand so I would ask my mom what it meant and she’ll explain it.. now I’ll listen to him when I’m showering especially when I’m cleaning it motivates me to clean more lol
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.
Love this man. Grew up hearing him singing Kaiso and my grandma didn't want me to listen to it because of the lyrics.😂😂Luv u and miss u ma. R I P. That's exactly why i love him. Calypso Rose and Shadow. As far as comments about the audience they just want to be dignified.😉 How could not get up and wine when you hear Drunk and Disorderly? I'm in my lv rm now and my gkids are wining. LMAO.

A taxi driver on Tobago called Marco Polo played the Mighty Sparrow on cassettes as he hurtled round the island🌴 - That was my good fortune some years back - being introduced to this joyful music with its mischievous lyrics. Cheers Marco! It's great to hear the range of the Mighty Sparrow in this show. Amidst the rousing and delightful Soca and Calypso songs there are beautiful, tenderly sung ballads.

Mighty Sparrow i can’t stop playing your songs.
I was so fortunate to see him live in 2009 in a park in Queens NY.. I was home and I started hearing the music and I went to see what was going on and it was him performing live in a wheelchair.. I didn’t really know who he was, so I called my mom and she went crazy I had to go pick her up so she can see him and I was amazed at how my mom was enjoying herself.. I started listening to his music on my own and fell in love with it.. some things I didn’t understand so I would ask my mom what it meant and she’ll explain it.. now I’ll listen to him when I’m showering especially when I’m cleaning it motivates me to clean more lol
There will never be another sparrow...

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.
