[@shaoun5876]

[@DelorisAnnBrown]

I will always remember The Great Carew . I was in Barbados the year of the storm when he was wash out to sea . Still praying he is resting in peace. 😢I don't like snakes, I will never forget him singing about them.😊 Los Angeles, CA.

I was back in Barbados in 1995 and remember the storm that caused the flooding. My house was a not to far from his house. So sad. I remember hearing on the radio (didn't have a tv) that he was last seen on top of his house that was being carried into the sea. I remember going in the back of my home and seeing his dishes in the sand. RIP Carew. Your memory still lives on

I was in Barbados in 1995 when this happened. I recall it being a very active hurricane season. We were there surfing. We heard the exact same story about Carew.I believe it was on the west coast.

[@aliciamirelleemmanuel8965]

I heard it on the radio when I heard the news. So sad how he died

[@aeromaximon]

When Carew died, I was only 7 years old. He'll never be forgotten.

[@DigitalIslandboy]

I forgot all about this tune until now. Used to be on the radio in BIM all the time.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kandygirl5754]

Love this song!!! I know a few snakes myself .......

[@nicholasgill3341]

I remember Carew as a child, I was 8 years old when he died, whenever I saw him in public I would run from my mother and jump on the back of his motorcycle and he would ride me in the parking lot. The day he died, the rain fell so bad, I can still remember. I was at trents camp and he washed out to sea by the fire station. When my mother told me he died all I could do was cry. I also remember Edwin winning party monarch that year

R.I.P. Carew

[@thomasjunior7143]

This man is / was what you called a real legion

[@aeromaximon]

I was at summer camp that day, along with my big sister. The rain was falling so hard that camp ended early and on our way back home, my father went through Lower Estate and Lears, and the road was flooded. That was how bad it was.

[@vellosity]

remember this year so clearly...the storm was named marilyn or something, i was a little girl and i was on a van heading to eden lodge with my mother when it started #RIP

R.I.P - Mighty Carew

Snakes in the grass❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daleworrell2040]

RIP Carew and RIG I rmbr this song well this was a big tune that year rmbr him saying a man is as good as his last performance he died soon after

[@7840christina]

Here in Barbados people told him to get save and he said he said not yet he gotta sing for his fans first but the next day there was a storm and his house was on the coast line he went up on his roof to fix a water heater and the house pulled away out ta sea with him on it and that's the last anyone every seen or heard from him. So sad you never know how long you have to live bet he thought he had years more to live.

[@SilkyC]

I remember being on the island that year with my family when this happened! I had hoped and prayed it was some kind of silly joke to hype him up for one of his performances. Such a sad story

[@whatsgood4685]

Are you telling a true story, or bearing false witness to get attention? Who said that? Who spoke to him about "being saved"? Just wondering. There are so many stories trying to convince people. The Bible has plenty stories to teach on. They're all true.

[@krislatoya7556]

Agreeing with the part not knowing how much time you may have but disagreeing with the solar heater part. No one knew Carew was at home because people were being cleared out prior and by the time they realised, he was on the roof screaming and got swept out to sea.

[@lorettaleliveld5366]

Snakes in de grass, dirty and slimey! Auntie Tanya, ah find Carew! Happy Independence Day xx

[@tanyadeboer]

Yuh fine he fuh true! Happy Independence!

[@mendjoukafabriano805]

I was in barbados in 1995 the first time i heard this song. Do you remember the other good soca song at this time ? I know one is name is blow ya whistle, but i don't know the group.

[@islandgirlfelecia3997]

Yes, it was an awful time. RIP carew! Rattle rattle snakes........

[@kristalnurse5343]

sad rip

[@MervinIshmael]

Emma and Dave remember the day he was promoted to glory....as we all do that day what a deluge!

[@krislatoya7556]

I always find this song to be a death prediction/ironic since he sang about snakes in the grass being dirty and slimy yet dirty and muddy waters carried him to his death.

[@TheBaje2011]

chaaa big tune i memba my fada didnt want me to hear this cuz i was too young

[@princessji1446]

[@MervinIshmael]

Do you have a copy of Mad Woman Jamming , his tour de force .......if so Please upload.

[@DigitalIslandboy]

R.I.P. Carew. Wait, was it true he was actually trying to save the solar hot water heater from his roof? The rumours I heard was during the hurricane, his house started to get washed out to sea and he went back trying to save the solar hot water heater? Has that been proven or discredited? Sad, but I would have had to let my solar hot water heater go...

[@krislatoya7556]

NO, NO, and NO. He had returned home after a show he had performed at and had probably passed out, can't remember which one and no one knew he was at home. Only when it was way too late that he was heard screaming and seen on top of his house while it was being carried to the sea

[@NWOTheories]

I don't recall that story..instead I believe royalwestmoreland golf course was being built and some water reserve bust open causing a flood washing caru's house out to sea. He couldn't swim and crawled on top the roof..then drowned..sad but true...RIP

[@assarhuru4120]

listen he's name was caru not Carew new him personally from Weston St James I am born and raised there

[@Confirmedgenius]

His stage name was The Great Carew. I once asked him for an autograph and that is how he spelt it.
