I just read the news that the Mighty Sparrow is in serious condition in a New York hospital. In my opinion, Slinger Francisco is the GREATEST all-round entertainer we ever had in Trinidad and Tobago. My family and I are also close friends of the family, and we wish them strength and continued hope that the Birdie will be all right. We ALL love you, Sparrow! PLEASE GET WELL!!!

Ghost, On Behalf Of The George "Sonny" Goddard Family.

    • Ent? Oops; sorry. I forget we do EVERYTHING proper now. I meant, "Is not that a fact? Top of the day, mate." (Now, where my sticks; I mean mallet? I want to beat my tenor pan. I mean, I would like to play my soprano steelpan.)

  • The Mighty Sparrow is in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Birdie, get well soon. T&T and the wider Caribbean/West Indian Community needs your humanity. Peace & Love...
  • My prayers go out to the calypso monarch of the world we had the honour of him performing for our Caribfest celebrations in Barrie Ontario  Canada,a few years ago  and the man was in top form .We in Barrie send him our love

    each and every day.

     

  • Very sad to read this news about The Calypso King of The World, Dr. Slinger Francisco, "The Mighty Sparrow".  Had the very great privilege of meeting him while working on "The Calypso for Africa". I recently met him again shortly after his 78th Birthday at The Resorts World Casino in New York where he performed for approximately 45 minutes.  Quite a feat for anyone in his age category!  His Voice still smooth as a warmed Brandy being taken in on a cold Winter Day!  He was very accommodating to my Son's request to pose for a picture with me.  I could see the drain of The Show on his body.  When he stood up, he smiled & graciously permitted me to put my arms around him.  Ever The Gentleman!  He was escorted out by several people, lovely women the closest!  May The Precious Blood of Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, wash U clean of all your infirmities & cleanse you from ALL of your Sins, in Jesus' Name.  AMEN!

    • True Salah: There comes a time when we all have to go!

      • The ONLY thing in life we know that's true, our day will come.
