This "foreigner" is an calypso icon, and a veteran. He served in the Korean War, a national hero. I salute you.

Ah could hear the hurt in Nello when dey call him foreigner. To be able to convey those feelings in the music and song is pure genius.

Met Nello in NY, Brooklyn. Jamal studio. We chatted for awhile. Thing is, this is the man that brought the funk to calypso/soca. If Shadow brought the soul, then Nelson brought the funk, Mama yoieee !

Thank God for KZfaq ah lot of people like myself didn't know that Clive Bradley arranged the music for most of Lord Nelson songs we associate him with steel pan and Desperadoes

what a wicked sweet melody! classic soca. We need to have songs of this ilk getting radio play and respect. The new generation of so called Soca artistes probably don't even know this song exists. what a splendid musical arrangement.

Nelson type of Calypso was always an up grade type of Calypso to me as a child like Sparrow type of Calypso his songs was lyrical had a nice groving kinda up tempo well written and produced songs. I love this track foreigner, lala jam, liar, disco daddy and others Nelson is a great for the culture 🎶🎼🎵🎤 I never could understand why why why Calypso didn't reach billboard charts where other music reached tho 🇹🇹 😢 cause we had so many beautiful well written Calypso songs over the decades. Hmmm.... 🤔

We lacked sustained corporate support and still do. Also, the stylistic choices in the music changed rapidly during the early eighties and we quickly adopted synthesized music to the general disregard of the more organic sound that you hear on this track.

@@RellonBrown something to think about 🤔 but I blame what we promote we promote music that's not from trinidad & tobago 🇹🇹 not ours 😢 our music is only played for the carnival season from Ash Wednesday we begin playing other music all year round so we are programed. Is what I think. 🤷

@@terronhastick844 even then, what we think is our music isn't. The rhythms we play as calypso and soca these days; some say we have evolved to this point. However, we have been using the same pseudo-Zouk drum set pattern for the last 40 years but it will never be ours. Afro-Caribbean rhythms are too numerous and too closely related for us to not differentiate what we play and our calypso was fully differentiated by the mid 1970s. Sadly, we did not "evolve" along that path including those rhythms. We instead co-opted Zouk and Cadence.

@@RellonBrown I see you're a musician so you kinda speaking from a musician point of view I totally agree with what you saying but I think the reason for our music as great as it was from the early 60s to early or mid 80s did reach as far as the billboard charts is big than just from the musical point of view sorry. We both has different options I respect yours but I my humble opinion apart from we not doing a good job at promoting our music is the with w write our songs and the rhythm we repeated for decades we stick ourselves to the "jump an wine down the place" rhythm, attitude and mentality we keep thinking our music can go anywhere going back to "we are program" again. It's like our Soca music 🎼 is like a hustle a way to be paid these days? early Calypso had more substance 🤷 But it's the later Calypsoians that started this one way rhythm that Soca follow today. Just my humble opinion ✊

Thank you so much, been looking all over for this. His was the last concert I saw in Trinidad and when he sang this tears came to my eyes because I knew I was leaving the following week.
