I did not like the MUSICAL INTRO and I did not like Denyse Plummer singing that song with her NASAL TONE. But the depth of social commentary that he captured in this calypso and THE RELEASE that resolved the story line -- I am not sure that I could find better lyrics that support an argument anywhere in any other calypso.

So I have toTIP MY HAT to ALVIN DANIEL here -- as a CALYPSO LOVER.

  • Denyse Plummer/Phase II Pan Groove - This Feeling Nice ( Classic )

    Phase II - Dis Feeling Nice

    The Mozart of Pan at work...

    Phase II Pan Groove "This Feeling Nice"

    Panorama Finals 1987. Len "Boogsie" Sharpe's championship winning arrangement of his own composition.

  • I will love to hear Alvin views on Panorama, from then to now. And the state of the Steelband today, can't think of a better person to do that.

    • May be he can help clarify the discrepancy, Boogsie is credited as the composer.
