To Me Silver was The Best Recording Steelband in the Sixties. Those Heavy Background Pans really added a Strong Voice to their Music. Not Much is Mentioned about the Great Junior Pouchet but He was one of Our Icons who should get more Respect. Thanks Glen for reminding us about the Great Silver Stars and their Master Arranger Junior Pouchet.
