The Mighty Gabby ~ "Boots"

"Anthony "Mighty Gabby" Carter (born 30 March 1948) is a legendary Barbadian calypsonian and a Cultural Ambassador for the island of Barbados. He is the youngest calypsonian to win the calypso crown in Barbados at age 19 in 1968 and went on to win the Calypso king title again in 1969, 1976, 1985, 1999, 2000 and again in 2010. He has penned over 700 songs and was awarded Folk Singer Of The Year in 1977, 1978, 1979
The "Mighty Gabby" has been writing and singing calypso music for over 40 years, and is known for his satirical songs criticizing politicians and cultural trends. He won the first ever Crop-Over road march title in 1979 with "Burn Mr. Harding" and again in 1982 with "Jack" (dah beach is mine). He received the 2005 Clement Payne National Hero Award and awarded the Living Legend Award at the first ever Barbados Music Awards in January 2006. He is a vocal Pan-Africanist.
Gabby's no-holds-bars lyrics drew criticism politicians who tried to stifle his expression."

Hands down one of the best composed (lyrically and musically) and most thought provoking social commentaries there is out there. It is witty, and captures the mood of the time so well....you feel almost transported back to the events of the time. Social commentary at its pinnacle!!

[@robbrichie380]

So glad I found this song.This is one of three calypso songs I think are the best composed.The others SINKING Ship by Gypsy and the one about the man with the hammer

I haven't heard this since the 80s, because although the title is easy to work out, I didn't have a clue who it was by. Five minutes ago the name " the Mighty Gabby " came into my head - I had a good feeling about that .........
