In the 1966 Festival Silver Stars played " Maracas Bay " a Composition of Junior . Please correct me if I am wrong but I played in this Festival and remembered that . Thanks .
He also had the longest-running contract in steelband history, leading J.P. and the Silver Stars at Walt Disney World for 29 years.
Believe he also was the first to compose his own song for the Festival, "On a Creole Melody."
He created an original seconds strum that became a Silver Stars signature.
Silver Stars was responsible for the theme song for the Government Program which begun at 8:00 pm at night
for several years. Many people were not aware of that or just ignorant to the fact. I think the name of the piece
was "Gaudemus Igitur". Open for correction.
Gale Junior had his seconds strumming like how guitars used to strum, the only arranger to do that.
In memory of this fallen steelband giant I share with you all that I know he accomplished with his band Silver Stars
1 The only steelband to win the Band of the Year title.
2 He had the longest playing steelband song on the T&T hit parade
3 His band got the most jobs
4 Sliver Stars played in the most fetes on the same night. [they split up the band]
5 Junior Pouchet was the first arranger to go in a music festival with a non classicial tune.
6 He arrange for the first steelband that buss in a panorama final.
Most of what Junior did we will NEVER again see.
BLESSINGS MY BROTHER
Correction 5and 6 was not with Silver Stars.
5 and 6 was probably in the festival ,Tripoli, The man I love (that was a great tune), and Tripoli probably was the band that bust (your band Cecil, lol)
Bede, yuh laughting at meh but I was a part of a moment in history.
