Sparrow can only be compared to the Beatles, Elvis, U2, Stones & a few others. YES is what Trinidad tries to be. Difference he came along when there wasn't this mega media & mass communication also he lived on a tiny piece of rock south of the equator. As a was kid in the early 80's I was on a plane going to visit my parents in T&T Sparrow was on board. To me he was like the messiah. I couldn't stop looking at him. Sad that people today are famous and don't have 1% of the ability or star power.
@alexdavidmerchant Aye nobody could wine or sing like Sparrow. The man has great stage performance, Ah love him too bad. He does make yuh forget all yuh worries.

@petranilla14 * Do you think Elvis would really kiss Sparrow's feet, really? I wouldn't! Would you? Them crusty feets? I'll pass and I suggest you do the same but I digress. I said Sparrow was better than Elvis not that Elvis was a retard. Frankly I'm talking on a personal level. I feel that Elvis and Sparrow would have made great friends because they both were in 100% command of their ability and performances.
@ModelMembership but he was a racist bastard!!! "the only thing i like black is my pair of black shoes"or something to that effect... remember that???
@petranilla14 ~ Hey with all due respect you would hate blacks too if the coolest black guy around was always trying to "eat white meat". Kidding of course!! Yeah I see your point with the Elvis racist thing. Yeah I bet he was a big racist but what white man born in Mississippi in the 1st half of the century wasn't?
@petranilla14 ~** Agreed, no excuse BUT back to my point. Elvis wore really cheezy jump suites and gaudy jewelery and could pull it off. I bet if Sparrow wore a bedazzled jump suit with big gold rings he'd look great and no one would question it; whereas if the average person wore the same we would call the nut house ASAP. Forget race for a moment I'M TALKIN' COOLNESS MAN!!!!
@petranilla14 That's actually an urban legend. Elvis responded to the rumor in the June 1957 issue of Jet. Peter Guralnick wrote an op ed in the New York Times that addresses this issue on August 11, 2007. I'm not a huge fan of Elvis, but these sort of lies do more harm than good.
@petranilla14 *** I would rant for 10,000 words but in a nutshell Elvis and Sparrow can both claim to be The Fucking Man. They can suck all the air out of a room when they're in it. Not many people who have lived in the world can do that thus they'd hang out.
@xenakaii ** Hey man nobody's cooler than Sparrow. Freaking awesome. My grandkids who wont even know what a Roti is will know who the freak Sparrow is. The guy was truly ONE OF A KIND. Do you know anyone "bad ass" (musically) like Sparrow? Bad Ass dude, bad ass!
The Guardian Life ads! Still two of the best local ads every made in my opinion. I wish someone could post the full Sparrow and Kitchener versions on Youtube.
Thanks for reminding me of the Guardian Life ads....man they really bring some fabulous ones. Uncle D have you got the David Rudder Ganges and the Nile one?
