Highlighting 'The Mighty Sparrow' calypso king of the world

The Mighty Sparrow

Slinger Francisco ORTT CMT (born July 9, 1935), better known as Mighty Sparrow, is a calypso singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Trinidadian citizenship. 


Known as the "Calypso King of the World", he is one of the best-known and most successful calypsonians. 


He has won Trinidad's Carnival Road March competition eight times, Calypso King/Monarch eight times, and has twice won the Calypso King of Kings title. 


Born July 9, 1935, in a small fishing village of Grand Roy, Grenada, he relocated to Trinidad & Tobago in 1937. He started singing in the choir at New Town Boys RC School and at age 14  joined a steel band comprised of neighbourhood boys. 


He was given his performing name “Little Sparrow” during his early career as a calypsonian, on account of his energetic stage performances. His first performance as a professional calypso singer came in 1954 with the song The Parrot and the Monkey, and he went on to have such hits as Jean and Dinah, The Queen’s Canary, Yankees Gone; and who would forget Mae Mae, The Lizard, The Big Bamboo, and many more great hits. 


Sparrow’s career expands over fifty years during which he has won many awards and honors. He has been very successful in England, the USA and the world over. In 1977 he embarked on a tour of West Africa, during which he was given the honorary Yoruba title, Chief Omo Wale of Ikoyi. His works cover every imaginable topic from humor, history, social and political commentary, to science and necromancy - and are the basis of which he was conferred with an honorary Doctor of Letters from The University of the West Indies. He was also awarded Trinidad and Tobago’s highest award ‘The Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’ (ORTT).

"I got up and cut off my locks Sunday morning because I looked around at my surroundings and realized that I have not been living a Rastafarian lifestyle. I want to see the changes around me, and as it relates to the upliftment of the people, the direction of the Rasta order and the walk toward perfection. That is not happening. I just see discord and chaos in the rasta community, all of it is very misleading," said the artiste, whose real name is Mortimer Softley.
