The Mighty Terror & His Calypsonians
Fitzgerald Henry (January 13, 1921 – March 14, 2007), better known as the Mighty Terror, was a Trinidadian calypsonian.
His career started in 1947 and in 1953 arrived in England. On arrival in England, he went first to London. In his own words:
"I jump in a taxi and I say, Do you know of a gentleman called Lord Kitchener? I figure he popular and a taxi driver should know. He tell me he dead long time ago. Not that one (I said). This one is a calypsonian from the West Indies, Trinidad."
He eventually went on to tour with Lord Kitchener after winning the title of Calypso King of Great Britain at the prelude to the Notting Hill Carnival in 1957
Like most Calypso, the Mighty Terror's songs tell a story. Many of them contain a lot of innuendo and some surprisingly explicit themes for the time they were released. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
