Rawlston Charles was born in Tobago and moved to Trinidad when he was 15. He migrated to the United States on December 12, 1967, with his copy of Kitchener's 1967 album. Initially, he got involved in the automobile business, repairing, buying and selling cars. He would take his calypso records with him whenever he went out to lime or party on weekends, also working as a DJ, only playing calypso, which was not as popular at the time compared to other genres. It was challenging to get calypso records at the time, costing more to import into the US. He established Charley's Calypso City in Brooklyn on July 4th, 1972, and, subsequently, Charley's Records where he began traveling back to Trinidad to establish connections with calypsonians and bandleaders and acquire music. Despite not having any prior experience in the music industry, Charles became an executive producer, producing some of the greatest calypsos and soca hits. He worked with Sparrow, Rose, Shorty, Explainer, Kitchener, Shadow, Maestro, Swallow, and Becket. The band Charlie's Roots, was named after Charley because he sponsored it, giving them $14,000 to purchase instruments and equipment, but he also nurtured several leading musicians and notable calypsonians, including David Rudder, one of the greatest calypsonians of the modern era. He created Calypso House, where he invited calypsonians to stay at no charge. In 1977, Charles earned himself the respect of the biggest players in the arena when he made a judgment call on a piece of music that at first left people saying he was a madman. The song entitled "Tempo" by Calypso Rose became the first Road March title ever won by a woman. It was historical and a massive hit, all thanks to Charles, who refused to compromise on his vision for the song. In 1984, Charles built and opened his recording studio, which was used by calypso and soca artists as well as major performers on the East Coast hip-hop industry, such as Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick, and RUN-DMC. The studio's gold records were once displayed in the studio's hallway, but most of them were stolen years ago, and only a couple of them were salvaged. In 2019, his daughter, Tina Charles, directed a movie called "Charley's Records," featuring prominent artists such as Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Doug E Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Prime Minister Keith Rowley, Machel Montano, and Super Blue. Despite piracy and other challenges in the music industry, Charles continues to be optimistic about the future. He believes that the younger generation's increasing interest in soca and calypso music is promising, and many young artists are exploring what was there before them. He hopes that calypso and soca music will continue to thrive and reach a wider audience. Charles's career, passion, and life are that of an American immigrant story of an unsung hero and pioneer who opened doors for many artists to waltz to fame and fortune. Rawlston Charles may have lost more money than they have made profits, but his legacy remains a crucial piece of Caribbean music history, with an exhibition in the National Museum of African History & Culture #otc #onthecallpodcast #podcaster #podcast #ozzie #host #service #shininglight #trinidadian #trinidadandtobago #trinidad #caribbean #caribbeanculture #culture #Triniculture #TriniDiaspora #Trinistories #community #Trinicommunity #sponsor #advocate #calypso  @charleysrecords  #steelpan #@pelhamgoddard #studio #blackradio  @CalypsoRoseofficial  #anthem #halloffame #god #children #olympics #documentary #grammys #frankiemcintosh#acolyte #church #faith #bell #marbles #elijah #nationalmuseum #national #museum #african #history

In this week's episode we cover Machel Montano's weekend at the Apollo and his push to keep Calypso at the forefront even though his thesis is submitted and he now holds the keys to New York City.Several soca stars received awards and recognition at the Caribbean Music Awards including Patrice Roberts, Nailah and The Mighty Sparrow as he received a lifetime achievement award presented by Machel.Much ado is being made about third parties and political alliances as Gary Griffith and Karen Nunez Texiera are shaking up their parties but for now everyone including Kamla Persad Bissessar are denying any alliances with the UNC - and well PNM don't like nobody so no link ups there either.The discussion on who holds the keys to our cities rages on as the consultation on street names and statues continues and men say Columbus must stay!We take some time to pay respects to Joey "The Flagman" Richardson as we take in some songs that ushered us into Independence as we show appreciation for our nation.Enjoy!!

Today I tell the tale of the Falkland Island food drop. This was one of the worst and best days aboard the Mighty Sparrow during the trip around the world.  It also taught me so much about resilience and perseverance, both tools that I have carried with me long after the trip was over.

“The Mighty Sparrow and his calypso crown helps Maximum Money re-brand with a Touch of Class.”

Jerome Rand is the host of the podcast Sailing into Oblivion, and author of the book by the same name, describing his solo nonstop sail around the wolrd in Mighty Sparrow, his Westsail 32. This episode is not one of us interviewing the other, but rather a conversation between us. We talk about our boats, reefing, safety, the higher latitudes, cold and fog, wearing a tether or not, sharks, drowing, books, getting rolled by a rogue wave, and much more.  Show notes are at https://www.paultrammell.com/podcast-season-6

He was born in Rio Claro, Trinidad in 1937 and passed away in New York in 2018. Lord Superior, sometimes called “Supie” first crossed paths with the reigning King of Calypso, the Mighty Sparrow at the tender age of 17. Eventually, Lord Superior was considered by some as the guardian of Calypso's legacy and culture. This interview broadcast in 2009. Checking in from Trinidad, Lord Superior discussed his involvement in the documentary film "Calypso Dreams," which chronicles the history and mystery behind calypso, a music that is about life. He also discussed his musical roots, his opinions on the genre and the stories behind many of his clever songs. Real quick. We hope to feature more interviews with Calypsonians in the future.

Martin is excited to welcome back hiker, solo sailor, author, and fellow podcaster Jerome Rand. Listen as Jerome shares his recent harrowing experience on his Westsail 32 "Mighty Sparrow."It's safe to say that Jerome Rand has a healthy addiction to Solo Adventure Sailing. Having sailed more than 70,000 miles on his Westsail 32 "Mighty Sparrow" he has experienced the highs and lows of life on the ocean. His most recent adventure was intended to be a relaxing Trade WInds sail around the North and South Atlantic Oceans. The reality was anything but relaxing when Jerome was turned upside down by a rogue wave 400 miles from Bermuda. When on land, Jerome works in the marine industry, is the host of the Sailing Into Oblivion Podcast, and travels to various speaking events to share the stories and insights from his many adventures.Video from the night all the damage happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u2HbUSHrqY&t=837s Sailing Into OblivionJerome Rand (@sailingintooblivion) • Instagram photos and videosBuy the Amazing Book (Link Below)https://tinyurl.com/bdcv5bcrSailing Into Oblivion Podcast on Apple PodcastsSupport the showGet outside, have fun and be safe!Martin Armitage, Host of the Papa Bear Hikes Podcasthttps://www.papabearhikes.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/papa-bear-hikes/id1541491746https://www.instagram.com/papabearhikes01/

Good Morning Mr Walker by The Mighty Sparrow and Killer Queen by Queen

Originally aired - June 15, 2020Jerome grew up in Northern Michigan surrounded by water. Reading books about harrowing adventures fueled his mind to live life outside of the box as he grew up. He started his sailing career late, but once he caught the bug, it took off and never stopped. After living in the Caribbean for years Jerome decided to hike the Appalachian Trail. He admits that it was a blissful time of happiness and fulfillment, but he wanted to do more, and do something on the water. In October of 2017, Jerome climbed aboard his Westsail 32, Mighty Sparrow, Jerome would circle the globe alone and return to where he started, Gloucester, MA in June of 2018. His incredible adventure has only been completed by a handful of folks in a vessel of that size.
