just weekend I reading in the gazette that they was going to give him an honorary doctorate.... sad he didn't get to receive it.
Why they wait till all these foundation pavers die to then try to honor them...

RIP

The man, the legend. One of the most influential local artists. Everyone from local Rock/Metal heads to Soca to Rapso and even local Hip-Hop artists "borrowed" from him. R.I.P. Winston Bailey.

yuh kno, eventually with all our local calypso icons getting up there in age & I can't really recall if any of them still performing today, soon all we gonna be left with is a setta rum drinkin jumpin flag wavin winers.

That will be a sad day for this place, becuz I not seeing any performers coming up with skillz like these fellas. calypso is our heritage & we might just be about to lose it.

Unfortunately that is true. But at least his genius was recognized internationally before he passed.
