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.
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.
HON. SPARROW ..YOU HAVE MADE PPL HAPPY WORLD WIDE, THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE TALENT ,,YOU WERE BORN A STAR..THAT TURNED INTO A STARLION...HMM YOU LIKE THAT...THATS MY SON PIC, AM HIS MOM AND HAD THE HONOUR TO MEET YOU THREE TIMES..DOMINICA AND MONTREAL TWICE...THE WORLD LOVE YOU...SO MANY PPL LOVED YOU AND STILL DO...YOUR MUSIC IS ALWAYS ON TREND..WE LOVEYOU SIR SPARROW...YOUR MUSIC IS WELL APPRECIATED...LOOKING FORWARD TO A FOURTH MEETING IN MONTREAL...YOU ARE KING SPARROW LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ....
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!
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
Remember playing The Mighty Sparrow for my mum when was in hospital. Even though her eyes were closed she still managed to move her foot to the music. RIP mum😢
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
🇹🇹 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 🇹🇹🇹🇹 🇹🇹
I listen Mighty Sparrow music in the 60s and 70s when I was in Guyana I now live in the US and listen to calypso cannot live without it it's in my bones live Caribbean die Caribbean
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"
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.
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.
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
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!
Sparrow was my late grand mother's best house friend. He went couple years ago to Guyana and pay a visit at her home.i was then a little girl.they sat and had meal together
Oh yes! I’m listening in 2024 and with God’s grace I’ll be listening to this for many years to come. This is Happy/Humorous and undoubtedly the best. The Mighty Sparrow what a Legend 🔥🔥🔥
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.
Thank You Trinidad & Tobago . You received my family from British Honduras in 1961. We had experienced Hurricane Hattie. Thank you. My favourite till today.. "Kuychulea" (sp).when I can have it. And Sir, (Sparrow. One day I come back! ) "Johnny" . I am 70 yrs
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.

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.
I will never forget his concert in Montserrat at the tomato factory in 1973. I was 17 jumping the fence ripped my pants on barbed wires to see his show. The greatest. Senor Sparrow. The maestro.❤
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..😂😁
😮 Trinidad music, I am an islander, the best music ever to free your mind and retrieving memorable time's party Cooley food, punched rum and bust up shots and chana aloe tumaka pepper sauce. Life is great with beautiful music to smoothly get by with the bs of living freedom.
I love you Mighty Sparrow. You are a legend, a treasure in our world. You performed for us in MISS CARIVAL in SVG in 2002. Still have our photos. Sa sa yeah! My favourite! God bless you.
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.
I am a Jamaican and a former party animal in the 80s and the 90s eventhough we had a lot of really great dance hall icons then but I must consede that no party or dance didn't complete with out the mighty sparrow him tune up vibes Respect to my Trinidadian brothers and sisters.
@@camillaniles9720 You cannot take a person's nationality from them based on where they reside. He was born in Grenada and you cannot change that. That's where he is from
With a voice of perfect pitch and a genius and poetic wit, no one ever will come near to him. The absolute greatest of the genre. He will live for ever...
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😭😭😭😭
I listen to this every week with my grandma and she literally sings every word and rocks to it so happily, mentioning memories of my Grandad throughout! I now know every song too! 😂 Love it! ❣️
Sparrow is simply the greatest calypsonian who ever lived. He enjoyed his art. As he became older he refined some earlier versions of his songs. I am an accountant, and I have his music as background noise when I am working 10 hour days. Sometimes I get up and dance by myself. My children think that I am mad. I just enjoy the songs. I am 63 years old this year. I have been in England since 1980, from Dominica. This makes me 43 years in England. But whenever I hear Sparrow I am immediately taken back to the music I heard from birth to 20 years old. "Drunk and Disorderly" is one of my favourites. "Miss Mary" is another. Sparrow Party Classics is very good. Watch him in Party Classic live. He is very teasing and alive to the meaning of the lyrics. For a big man he moves expertly and effortlessly across the floor. It is a pleasure to see him working a crowd of Trinidadians. All races in Trinidad warm to him. Indian, Chinese, White and Negro. In my opinion, his music will last forever. What better praise can we give him. He may not have been the most intellectual man like Eric Williams, but his calypso is just brilliant. I think that the only artist to come near to him is Harry Belafonte. May God grant him long life and years more of good music making. We in Dominica really love his music. I live in Kent, SE England. He is still warming up my house with "Sa Sa Yea". Roland Mitchell-FCCA- Kent, 06/08/2022.
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 🌎
Jan 2021: This is how you say bye to a shitty year and welcome a new one with hope: Drunk and disorderly; Miss Mary; Don Back Back! Jane: I ain't ready yet!
as a Grenadian myself, its so nice to have a star from my country so I can listen to his music and say, "yeah man thats home" nothing come close to some good old times soca
Can remember around 1975 I dad was always playing this music in the house ! At parties in particular! It was nice to see my parents happy in difficult times.🙂
Ravin Ramkissoon my daddy is terminally ill and this was the song he requested to hear as we lay in bed. Bringing back memories since sparrow lived here in the VI . This all he listened too.
I remember well growing up when Sparrow’s music permeated the air & the airwaves. Unlike with some other tunes, you could never hear too much of his music. Even as a child, I could appreciate the beautiful melodic voice & the clever & sometimes satyrical lyrics. I soon came to realize that he was & still is my favorite calypsonian. When I finally got to meet him in person in 2002 when he came to perform in a concert in the US Virgin Islands, I was so ecstatic. I will always treasure that experience. His voice coupled with the instrumental sounds of his steel orchestra are phenomenal!
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.
I agree

This was real Soca music. It took Africa by storm. Soca music was so addictive like a religion.

The mighty Sparrow is indeed the world's greatest calypsonian. West Indian music at its best.
It always amazed me how Grenadians and Trinidadians fought for this man.....until we realized it had plenty sparrow to go around .

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.
I am a Jamaican and a former party animal in the 80s and the 90s eventhough we had a lot of really great dance hall icons then but I must consede that no party or dance didn't complete with out the mighty sparrow him tune up vibes Respect to my Trinidadian brothers and sisters.
He's from Grenada
@@vtcl1 But he honed his talents in T&T. So he's ours .He lived there all his life.
@@camillaniles9720 You cannot take a person's nationality from them based on where they reside. He was born in Grenada and you cannot change that. That's where he is from
@@vtcl1 Both of y'all wrong! 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 taking Rhianna and Sparrow 😂😂😂
@@iamsadiki But if he says he was born in Grenada, how does that not make him a Grenadian?
Undisputable Calypso King of the World........ Still!
May the Mighty Sparrow's music live on forever!
Am glad they gave him all his accolades before he passed away. Bravo Sparrow Bravo. I'll always be a fan Of ya music.
@@mariaprescott7542 He is alive and well. Just celebrated his 85th birthday in September. Long live the king.

Saskatoon SK. Canada loves you. I am so happy that I was able to see him 3 times.He is SUPER.
He is really the best,they don’t make it like this anymore
Sparrow is simply the greatest calypsonian who ever lived. He enjoyed his art. As he became older he refined some earlier versions of his songs. I am an accountant, and I have his music as background noise when I am working 10 hour days. Sometimes I get up and dance by myself. My children think that I am mad. I just enjoy the songs. I am 63 years old this year. I have been in England since 1980, from Dominica. This makes me 43 years in England. But whenever I hear Sparrow I am immediately taken back to the music I heard from birth to 20 years old. "Drunk and Disorderly" is one of my favourites. "Miss Mary" is another.
Sparrow Party Classics is very good. Watch him in Party Classic live. He is very teasing and alive to the meaning of the lyrics. For a big man he moves expertly and effortlessly across the floor. It is a pleasure to see him working a crowd of Trinidadians. All races in Trinidad warm to him. Indian, Chinese, White and Negro. In my opinion, his music will last forever. What better praise can we give him. He may not have been the most intellectual man like Eric Williams, but his calypso is just brilliant. I think that the only artist to come near to him is Harry Belafonte. May God grant him long life and years more of good music making.
We in Dominica really love his music. I live in Kent, SE England. He is still warming up my house with "Sa Sa Yea".

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 🌎
Jan 2021: This is how you say bye to a shitty year and welcome a new one with hope: Drunk and disorderly; Miss Mary; Don Back Back! Jane: I ain't ready yet!
Saltfish white meat etc
as a Grenadian myself, its so nice to have a star from my country so I can listen to his music and say, "yeah man thats home"
nothing come close to some good old times soca
Sparrow grew up in T&T, he is all & all a Trini just birth in Grenada !
Nah he's a trini we already claimed him since he first started xD
@@Cxnvict yes but he born in grenada sooo i doh care
@@sevewonn8567 bro what kinda logic is dat
@@KiddSteely I agree with you that he is Grenadian. All the spice tea Sparrow got as a child helped developed his voice.
Listen to Sparrow every day. The man is a legend. His poetry is out of this world.
Wonderful remember my young days cannot for got these tunes
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Beautiful memories of homeJamaica ❤️🇯🇲

My Uncle died yesterday and he was a big fan. May he RIP
@@smileykarenSorry to read this🙏God bless sorry for you & you're familys loss🕊
Can remember around 1975 I dad was always playing this music in the house !
At parties in particular!
It was nice to see my parents happy in difficult times.🙂
Ravin Ramkissoon my daddy is terminally ill and this was the song he requested to hear as we lay in bed. Bringing back memories since sparrow lived here in the VI . This all he listened too.
Karen Cappiello so sorry to hear. My dad is dying too. I came back to see him. And I just put this on. He is tearing up 😭😭😭
Sparrow is not one of the greatest, he is the greatest calypsonian ever, he is in a class all by himself , there will never be another like him.
serious back in time soca. nvr grows old. keep the modern day stuff and give me de back in time oldies. luuuv dis medley
I remember well growing up when Sparrow’s music permeated the air & the airwaves. Unlike with some other tunes, you could never hear too much of his music. Even as a child, I could appreciate the beautiful melodic voice & the clever & sometimes satyrical lyrics. I soon came to realize that he was & still is my favorite calypsonian. When I finally got to meet him in person in 2002 when he came to perform in a concert in the US Virgin Islands, I was so ecstatic. I will always treasure that experience. His voice coupled with the instrumental sounds of his steel orchestra are phenomenal!
Yuup dah soca Goat rite yaah.. one and only ...blow aff sparraw
