@planetcarnival.bsky.socialTough guy Robert Mitchum was first exposed to calypso while filming "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison" on Tobago.
The actor was so taken by the genre that he recorded an LP of Caribbean tunes. Here's one written by the late, great Slinger Francisco, a/k/a #TheMightySparrow
@kingtrinbago.bsky.social@kingtrinbago.bsky.socialLong may #Sparrow reign supreme.
May Uncle Slinger, Uncle Sparrow, The Birdie, The Mighty One, The Undisputed King of Calypso go to rest in glory and peace, and may our children’s, children’s, children remember the contributions of #SlingerFrancisco, #TheMightySparrow.
God bless you, Birdie!
🙏🏾🕊️🌹
