I don'...Thanks for your comment, Outa-Spaceman.<br /><br />I don't know anything about that band, either. But I love it when I come across good music just by YouTube surfing.

The first version I came across was on a budget Harry Belafonte compilation. I'm not sure it's HB actually singing it and belive it to be the band The Islanders (who they?), but I've been unable to find any info on them. It's more banjo driven mento than calypso, but who's counting?

It is certainly not another *Jean and Dinah* hit tune but Sparrow as always manages to point up news whether good or bad in his own inimitable and musical way. <br />A Merry Christmas from Graham Johnstone - London<br />Graham Johnstonehttp://www.grenadamusic.demon.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
