Third World Steel Orchestra "Gold" arranged by Pelham Goddard (1977)

From the 1977 LP 45 "Disco in Steel" , The Third World Steel Orchestra performing Maestro's "Gold" arranged by Pelham Goddard.
The National Lottery Third World Steel orchestra was formed around the time there was an upheaval in Starlift Steel Orchestra which spawned "Phase Two" and "Third World".
Pelham Goddard, who played in Starlift for a while was the arranger of this Third World gem which became very popular on the radio. You can hear the influence of Ray Holman's style in this arrangement. This was Pelham's first big success arranging for pan

This is one of the best panorama arrangements ever made. I remembered when pelham was arranging this. My cousin played that year, I was 8th. Every day after school while walking home, we would always stop and play in the pan yard, and get in trouble for climbing on the racks. This really bring back great memories of Primary School days, de happiest days of my life.

man hearing this bring back lotsa memories from that time,fishing by big bridge,breaking beach and getting drunk from port wine, and seeing ALVON write up allover st james sec, staying up late listening to pan and still having to carry water in the morning....

@grjoseph Great post. I'm glad I found this. The National Lottery Third Worls was formed around the time there was an upheaval in Starlift which spawned "Phase Two" and "Third World". Pelham Goddard, who played in Starlift for a while was the arranger of this Third World gem which became very popular on the radio. You can hear the influence of Ray Holman's style in this arrangement. This was Pelham's first big succes arranging for pan.

[@williamlouison9587]

dat was pan fadda

[@lisafrancesford]

OMG I grew up on Ranjit Kumar Street I must have been about 10 11 that year all my uncles were in the band. wow I have to play this for them

[@foreignmovies]

Was that the voice of Edison Carr at the beginning? Edison was one of the greatest voices ever in the history of Trinidad and Tobago radio! That was back in the days when you had to be able to speak properly to be a radio announcer or a DJ!!

[@Ricky2Marva]

Sweet for days.

[@67robinhood]

When pan was pan, to dance to.

[@ricardojohn3473]

We band. Flew under the Radar for a few yearsin the Golden Era of Pan.

[@lisamartinez7948]

Pelham is de boss!!!

[@foreignmovies]

So true!!

[@renmark1412]

It is Eddison Carr. This band reminds me of a short lived band call jewel 22, I have not heard of them for some time, they killed POS with a tune called American Patrol.

[@thevianna100]

Hey Shjakes, what about "Fiery" which I think came after "Gold". What I would give to hear Fiery again, the same song that Bungie brought back a couple of years ago and won the soca monarch title with. I think Maestro sang Fiery. I grew up in Angelina Street, St James when they played Gold in Ranjit Kumar Street.Des

[@simonlesternicholas5311]

It’s the first maestro track I knew all the words them asking everywhere how I coming next yr

[@sbhawanie69]

Music boy!!!! Well balalnced. All Maestro music would sound good on Pan

[@AllanDiRealMcCoy]

Maestro's album "Rampage"

[@SuperSnk1]

This is for sure more precious than 24karat.

[@thevianna100]

@thevianna100 I just remembered "Rockford Files" theme somg. Another Pelham classic.Des

[@chrisdiaz2773]

One of best songs dat didn't win

[@shjakes]

A Real classic from a real 'Sugar Band' (as described by the late Cap'n Splav Waddell)...now if you could put your hand on their recording of 'Social Dora' I am prepared to leave you my land in Tobago! :)

[@simonlesternicholas5311]

The best performance not to have won panorama

[@SocaPhD]

Nope. Best performance not to have won Panorama was Fonclaire's "Pan By Storm" in 1990. Above might be the 2nd best not to have won! ;-)

[@anthonycameron4114]

This is one the judges missed

[@colmaz1]
