Pan by Storm - Vat 19 Fonclaire

[@chinacole258]

Still the greatest panorama robbery ever. Continue to rest well Professor. July 2021 and still a classic, will forever be a classic.

[@sdavis2107]

Couldnt agree with you more...

[@oliverramcharan7991]

The greatest panorama classic ever can't understand up to this day how they lost

My mother was their biggest supporter. I was a child in the pan yard nightly when they practiced this song...and could never forget the music video shooting. Forever a Fonclaire baby!

[@hiram9638]

I was the actual baby in the video! Ken was my god father and my father and uncle were senior members of the band!

[@tamara_diamonds422]

Not because your mother was in the pan yard nightly made her the biggest supporter. It was not only her there nightly. Think about how you use the words biggest supporter.

[@jerrydolabaille5302]

I remembered this final night performance all too well ...... After that thunderous introduction the north stand was swaying and rocking throughout this arrangement ...... At the end no one could have seen the band on stage due to the dust in the air..... It was well received by both north and grand stands ..... A winner that night on the lips of most ..... Not sure what the judges did or did not hear .... The rest is history ....

we all gave win but he was told on semi that his tune was over time limit he did nothing about it check time on live 10min+

[@sdavis2107]

@@babycakes16100 that is the most logical explanation I have ever heard for him evading that victory

[@maninbim]

I was there too, as a person who did not originally like soca or anything associated with it, I went to Panorama for the first time in my life as a new engineering student at St Augustine from Barbados with my friends, and I can honestly this song and performance converted me to a soca lover.... Ever since then, I'm addicted to soca. I don't know what the judges heard either, but they were on top for me. In my opinion, they won... Renegades came second as far as I am concerned that year...

It's tough resisting wanting to hear this magnificent arrangement just one more time. Without a doubt his best work.

[@jjmsmom]

I was 15yrs old the year this was done, and 32yrs later I still get goosebumps listening to it. Not even Zeus or Poseidon could have created a storm like this.

Wed June 16th 2021 and I still wake up on mornings and go take ah listen to this, masterclass love it ... My 1990 Panorama champion.

[@stephendillon5302]

Everytime I hear this piece of music I cry and bleed inside. Professor you will always be remembered as the winner that came second. What greatness.

[@andytorres4522]

This piece personifies the genius of Pro. An unsung hero. We will always be the winner of that Panorama Final that year. Forever.

[@comeagain9074]

Yep! They gave renegades win that year, am a renegades fan, but YES! Fonclaire should have been given the win , robbery straight up.

[@hollisonfrancis9772]

RIP PROFESSOR. Master Pannist, Arranger, Composer and of course a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Gone too soon

[@thanewilliams6266]

One of the most electrifying moments in pan. PERIOD!

[@sdavis2107]

One could actually visualise the storm!

[@wesornaitit]

What year was this ?

[@Livestreamfinland]

The best Panoroma performance ever 🔥

[@angellohector]

It's close. A few people say this was robbed of the title. This is amazing! This by far had the best vibe that year, but musically (as a journey) I do love Iron Man by Renegades. What a great year!

[@walkestreetemancipationcom4714]

Second best of all time panorama composition. Classic never die THIS and Curry tabaca raise meh pause everytime. Tough competition but great performance #walkestreetemanciptioncommittee

[@netzajack]

This is in the TOP 3 greatest Panorama Finals performances. Up there with Rebecca by Despers and 79 is Mine by Phase II

[@genotypeJustJungle]

YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF US WERE AFTER THIS..........THIS HAS MADE MY MORNING

[@derekroom4804]

The judges always considered south bands secondary... this performance and the judges decision say it all. btw I also like their tourist leggo performance in 1977... blessings from Crichlow street

[@gemmagarcia1439]

Oh gosh. I remember how they cheated ken professor philmore thst year. Now he is dead and gone. Everybody feeling nostalgic about this song. RIP Professor philmore. I love you. And I will miss you always

[@winsforddevine3092]

[@elizabethbain2930]

YES, YES, YES 😁😁😁

[@carphill1]

Best Tune Professor 🙏🏿👊🏿👍🏿✨️

[@aijeonline8574]

In the context of panorama validation comes from the judges in terms of who placed where but outside of that particular season this arrangement will go down as a classic which will be referenced in the such in 100’s of years time.

[@HansumTrini]

Exactly

1/2 a point, caused the man to drink, which might have been the cause of his untimely passing.

[@lincolndipnarinesingh3035]

I like Renegade but I think this was the winner from Bellrose NY

[@lincolnconstance6624]

The best that year by far.

[@kevinmartinezbeckles7039]

love this song

[@antonybascombe4268]

I believe that it is one of the greatest panorama tunes. I also believe that they were robbed that year

[@4pan1]

for years I have known they were robbed with this tune*

[@traceycaesar4277]

Phil The Thrill from Laventille asked every morning as he played this on radio "Would someone tell me how this performance lost the Panorama Title?" SHAME ON THE JUDGES! SHADOW WAITING ON ALLYUH IN HELL.
