Mighty Bomber
- ... that calypsonian Mighty Bomber believed that the judges denied him the Trinidad and Tobago Independence calypso monarch title in 1964 because he was born in Grenada? Source: "In 1962, the show was held at City Hall. It was packed to capacity. When the results were announced, Brynner had to run and jump into a car. The people wanted Bomber. I was the People's Choice. It was felt I was not a citizen of T&T. I came here on June 15, 1956. I felt hurt. Since then, I don't like to sing Independence. My wife (Jean) and I got about 220 letters from Grenada, St Kitts, Anguilla and Nevis. People kept saying I should have won." [1]
- ALT1: ... that calypsonian Mighty Bomber was described as "one of the greatest composers in the artform"? Source: "Describing Ryan as one of the greatest composers in the artform, John said he will be remembered as one of the few men to beat Sparrow (Slinger Francisco) in a competition." [2]
