Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
UPDATE:
Composer, music arranger and calypsonian Winston Scarborough, better known as The Original De Fosto Himself, died between 9 pm on Thursday and 8 am yesterday at his Almond Court home in Morvant.
He turned 64 in September.
His death comes just ten days after the death of another calypso great. Winston Bailey, the Shadow...
...When he was hospitalised at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in June, he told Newsday he was looking forward to visits from the likes of the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, ILP leader Austin Jack Warner and former minister Dr Roodal Moonilal.
He said then: “I was part of making them make history, so just as how I was there for them, I also believe they should be there for me and not just to perform at their political event. Artistes need that grain of respect. I was there for everybody.”
De Fosto left the hospital without any of the desired visits.
