i saw him perform the is song in 74 in the Savannah. I was four. They brought him on stage in a van two orderlies got him out of the back. He was dressed head to toe in black and wearing a straight jacket. they lead him to the middle of the stage and he would sing only bouncing on his toes. i almost fainted when he looked at me lol but we came to see Shadow sing. When the song was done the orderlies strapped him back into the straight jacket and shuffled back into the van and backed off the stage. Needles to say I didn't sleep that night .LOl
Shadow had this and some other jumpy ones like....I come out to play......king from hell......shift yuh carcass......rap to me.....Pressure......and his first calypso from 1971, The Threat.....Rest in Peace Dread Wizard.
Shadow music is medicine for my pain....thanks DOC....!!!! much suffering....your music can ease thy thing.....thanks boy you in me soul! Bassman....ya man!
He should of been crowned the calypso King that year when this song came out instead they robbed him of his crownThis song was unique and absolutely beautiful. They robbed him of his crown so many times.
This man music is unique, different and very sweet. No doubt he's a calypso genius. In a calypso composition we're lucky if the artist give us great lyrics or great melodic rhythms , in all of the mighty shadow songs ,he always gives us both . He has the shadow style of music that's distinct and instantly recognizable as his own. His master pieces are learning materials and musical treasure troves, simply put,his contribution to mankind showing that he was here for a reason. May he R.I.P.
What I feel is very disrespectful is the young people calling our music old school, it is Caribbean Casical Music, can't compare to our music with the nonsense we are hearing to day ,no lyrics, no arrangement, nothing to make you feel like dancing
Horns are a like cheat code. Almost guaranteed to make me like a song. I love how he refers to the horns throughout the song. "Horns again." "Blow them horns!" "No more horns." 😆
Jamming behind the tramp wagon all down by the waterfront. Shadows Bassman making us jump and dance. Cool breeze and salt air...makes me jump to this day.
RIP Winston Bailey...your music will live on.
Without a doubt

Rhonda Bostic That is the way of a genius mind.
Lol I could imagine 😂😅
Pretty scary for a kid
Man one of the baddest song ever....even to this day. Remember this song as a youth and still enjoying the vibes.
Ssenkoto Romeo, the original though!
Same here.
You will forever be loved as one of the greatest of all time.
My Jewish husband swear he was born in Tobago,so I dedicate this one to him, leh him go and plant peas in Tobago with Shadow

Arguably the greatest song ever outta Trinidad. Bass Man....
Boy, the first time I heard the bass strain at the start of the song, I was hooked on Shadow. It was something different and set him apart.
Yeah Horn and bassline
True dat, one o de reason i started to play bass back in de 70's!
He should have won the crown. This was fresh and new back then. Gosh judges you were not fair then.
Shadow is a boss. 🙌🙌🙌....his music lives on in 2022....💥💥💥
2024!
easily in the top 3 Calypsonians ever...Steve Love, love international, Connecticut USA
I remember when he came to ST.CROIX he brought all the Caribbean youths back to soca ,because we all into Disco and American music R.I.P
Shadow music is medicine for my pain....thanks DOC....!!!!
much suffering....your music can ease thy thing.....thanks boy you in me soul!
Bassman....ya man!
Anthony Sylvan, the bassman gon stop him.

heads48 An absolutely fantastic bassline on this one especially how it follows the vocal lines.

Ah have every Shadow Album ever made!!! Had Bassman played as dedication to the great mad on radio
when i learned of his death..
It is an absolute shame that a such an amazing idol of Trinidad and Tobago had to leave this world but he is in a better place
He should of been crowned the calypso King that year when this song came out instead they robbed him of his crownThis song was unique and absolutely beautiful. They robbed him of his crown so many times.
Veronica Jenkins yes
Totally agreed
So who they awarded it to so as to compare?
Who got the award?
I now hear that on the news
This man music is unique, different and very sweet.
No doubt he's a calypso genius.

May he R.I.P.
this is when calypso was #1 now reggae #1 calypso #2 love mi island antigua and barbuda big up all islanders

No need to compare … we will always love our calypso and soca music … and we also like reggae.
What I feel is very disrespectful is the young people calling our music old school, it is Caribbean Casical Music, can't compare to our music with the nonsense we are hearing to day ,no lyrics, no arrangement, nothing to make you feel like dancing
I leaving California 2020...to go plant peas in Tobago...Shadow, horns Again .....no more Horns
I was 10 or 11 when this song was a hit. I used to live in Mayaro back them. Papa Bois, this does bring back some memories, you see?
One of my favorites!
This song is so unique. Everyone can relate to something that just keeps calling them no matter what they do. Music and lyrics are perfect.

Yes my favorite...saw him perform in Naparima bowl.the best ever Was the parting of the red sea ....his music lives on
