liviuarh, I'm Paul Glickman the creator of the Calypso Singer. I was happy to see it on the internet, but as you must know it's a copy shot from a 16mm projection. It's a shadow of it's real look and sound. But you've inspired me. I am going to go back to the 35mm master and try to do a top notch HD version. I'll let you know when I've posted it (probably months from now) But I hope at that time you'll withdraw your posting so the clean version gets to be seen and I, the creator, get the credit.

@paulfrankglickman It’s a pleasure to hear from you.

I would be more than happy to see this clip in a HD format. It’s a brilliant work and as you can see for yourself many appreciate it.

I do not intend to take any credit for anybody’s work.

No question about it, I will make way for the “clean”version of “The Calypso Singer”.

All I can say is… Thank You for creating this.

Fabulous! According to a 1999 interview with Freberg, the guitarist on this track was Glen Campbell !!

@paulfrankglickman I love this clip! I remember it from the old Great Space Coaster tv show. Please do upload a clean version. I'm checking out your videos now.

I love this! I remember Stan Freberg from when I was a kid too. I liked him then, but listening to him now, I find him strident. The animation softens that. By putting him visually right into the song, he is made an insider.

Isn't it lucky Mr. Glickman was watching YouTube.

@paulfrankglickman

I totally agree and look forward to something that is even better!

I loved this animation - Freberg alone is too strident for me - very sweet.
