Many people don't appreciate the beauty and originality of this exceptional artform.

I'm Turkish but i love calypso Lord Blakie the best story teller of all

2024 am here

December 2021 and still a perfect exhibition of local culture. And mind you these songs were sung years before I was even born and I love them most!!!

This is sweet. The Spontaneity, the jest, the crowd interaction, the laughter, the creativity. Love Lord Blakie style.

Blakie, one of my favourites. That distinctive and funny laugh.

Who's still listening in 2020

Who here during covid-19 listening classics to stay connected. 🤗 Stay safe as u can y'all.

I love this man, the way he is laughing, fantastic !

From Zimbabwe happy youtube lead me here in 2020 been listening for years now and will continue

Steelband Clash (road march 1954), Chinese Accident (Incident), Maria (1962 Road March), and Hold De Pussy (1967)- with the talents of David Rudder, Gypsy & Mystic Prowler (1944-2003) as the chorus, and the Master of Ceremonies himself, comedian Sprangalang, Lord Blakie- Carlton Joseph (1932-2004), the Original rudeboy of Kaiso indeed- with that mischievous laugh of his (between him and Sparrow which one is worse- I would have to say Blakie). Rest In Peace Blakie, Kaiso is not the same without legends like you, Lord Kitchener, Lord Shorty, Duke, Brigo, Lord Melody and so many more!!! Long live the calypso art form & tradition!

This is really a treasure from Trinidad 🇹🇹 I love Blakie such a brilliant calypsonian. Trinidad has some of the most beautiful calyposians I hope people treasure them.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Rest in peace Sprangalang!! Comedian/Master of Ceremonies. Opening for artists like Lord Blakie, Zandolie, Lord Brigo ❤

Love Love Love Those days when music was just the education system you need. From reading great story lyrically to moral socializations and great great entertainment. Love to our fathers like you Lord Blakie

Wonderful! I danced to Maria at the 1962 Trinidad carnival. 😍

Truly infectious laugh. If you met this legend in person you better listen carefully because he had a way of speaking which demanded you pay attention and if he realized you were left behind he quickly rescued you but as a father figure he often returned later on to pull you aside and enlighten you.

I have probably seen this a dozen times and every time it sounds sweeter. Thank you Blakie we have you here forever. Alos these calypsoes show us clearly the true meaning of Calypso. these artists were the messengers of the time.

I am a reggae dancehall artist but listen more kaiso than any other music. Kaiso is on of the hardest music to write in my opinion as a song writer I have to confess

I'm not from T &T but from since I was small I love to listen to Blakie he is quite a cheerful calypsonian. I remember the first time he sang simple calypso, ZIZ radio (St. Kitts) must have played it over 100 times.

You could see David Rudder enjoying himself because he been hearing blakie when he was a little boy for those of you who do not know this is a treasure

Love this calypso!! Nothing beats these Old Time Calypsos!!

Since I am 73 years The Old-time Calypso is the best.With Regards I thank you for all the sweet dreams I had in my life. #jjdr

No one could laugh like Blakie.He was great singer.I love all his music.

I have been living out of Trinidad for over 40yrs but still very proud to b a Trinidadian

Kaiso Kaiso and Kaiso! Great music!

some of the greatest bards. I wish we could have melodies like this in 2020, rather than the sleepy music they present.

Hey , nothing can beat these old time kaiso, i just love to hear these guys sing ,what beautiful lyrics,could not get any better ,the best.

An Absolutely wonderful performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I heard these cslypsoes as a young boy growing up. They were good then; they are even better now! Interesting though is that West Indians back then were not restricted by political correctness. Calypsoes poked fun at the accents of Trinidadian Chinese, Grenadians, Bajans, Yankees or whomever they p,eased. We laughed and danced without taking offence.

Am Trinidadian so these are the music i grew up , listening to..

We have to thank David Rudder for this brilliant production.

That's what we call entertainment. What a man!!!

Enjoying from Canada, it warms me on a cold cold day.

Lord blakie... Much love for such great music...

I love all music especially calypso,like Bob Marley said " one good thing about music! When it hit you feel no pain "

Loved to Listen as a boy in Barbados to all these tunes. Still love and listening now. Go Blakie and Melo forever.

"It eh easy To spend Blakey Money Maria let dem know De PRESSURE yuh gotta undergo"...😁 😆 😅 LYRIIIICS!!! 👍🏽🎯🏆

Lord Blake's laugh at the beginning, during and after his songs can only be described as a stroke of genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wish I'd met Lord Blakie, he seemed a real character, very talented and humorous!

The youths need to take a page out the books of older calypsonians book.

When you need a good laugh, listen to some of these classic Calypsoes by Lord Blakie (1932-2005). Trust me, you will enjoy yourself!!!!!

Rudder is having a time of his life.They learn from the masters.

Blakie from St Paul Street. As a young girl growing up every time I see him that man he was singing and dancing a chip here and skip there. He use t best pan too. His mother daughter nice looking ppl. I was from up Clifton those were the days.

Calypsonians of that era and even before, were the best story tellers.

Was lucky to be around him through The King shadow. Rip sir

With all that's happening with Covid around the world I needed to pull this up. Miss him. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
