Description: Upon the publication of this book in 2006, the great calypso artist David Rudder noted: "Even if he never writes another line, we must let Winsford "Joker" Devine know how pivotal his life has been to the progress of Trinidad and Tobago." This collection brought the artist into the limelight as he was finally credited for hundreds of the greatest calypso classics of the 20th Century. These songs, including "Progress," the greatest calypso ever composed, had been made famous by various artists but were all penned by one man: The genius Winsford Devine. The book contains hundreds of songs, tackles copyright controversy, and features several contributions by calypso connoisseurs, some of whom have passed on. This book is a must-have for collectors of Caribbean arts and letters.
