      The seventh day adventist church (SDA) is doing a poor job as far as his salvation is concerned
      Sparrow is still revelling in the cankerworm calypso nonenense in January 2024
      What a shame
      He should have have the tenacity to denounce the past dirty life, and to let all his previous fans know to also denounce it also
      And encourage past fans and listners to denounce all of his past work, and seek for salvation, and walk in newness of life
      Poor work SDA

    I am so happy to see him, in my days growing up I danced to so many of his hits, especially the Congo man, I believe that was my biggest hit. It was carnival in a December and I wanted him to be here but he was not, his songs are still hits now after so many years. The calypso king of the world, no one else can ever take that position from him! Thanks for letting him be on your program!

    I remember my friend the Mighty Sparrow performing on a charity program called the Nuggets For The Needy in Jamaica back in the nineteen sixties. He was quite a favorite with his Calypso songs. But one night he decided to sing gospel song and unfortunately bood. I believe he returned some time later to the show.
    You cant keep a good man down. God be with you my friend.

    I love Sparrow. When I was in St Kitts I heard him on the radio as a child. When my friends and I walked to school I would make up songs, they called me Melrose Calypso. I could have been big if I had encouragement. I CAME TO UK, MET SPARROW AT A FUNCTION IN BIRMINGHAM. WHEN I WENT TO HANG UP MY COAT. HE KISSED ME ON my cheek. That was in the1970's. Since then I haven't wash my face. I met him again when he came to the Mahammed Centre in Handsworth Birmingham. Melley and my danced with him on stage. A man said to me, he could see my panty. I wore the shortest mini skirt, I had nice legs then. Happy times. Good memories. Love u for ever Sparrow. MRS M BIRMINGHAM UK BIRMINGHAM. 12 JANUARY 2024
