CALYPSOS FROM THE WEST INDIES
VERY RARE 12" VINYL LP
AMERICAN RELEASE
FEATURING LOUIS FARRAKHAN AKA 'THE CHARMER'
"It"s hard to picture the leader of the Nation of Islam singing a calypso song about a sex change operation but the cheery singer is none other than Louis Farrakhan.
He was originally known as Gene Walcott, a kid who grew up with a passion for the violin and Caribbean music. He used his love of music to form a nightclub act where he was known as The Charmer, an alternative version of Harry Belafonte. His nightclub act was so hilarious that it led to a recording career. "Is She Is, Or Is She Ain"t', a song which Farrakhan wrote himself, was featured in a compilation of Caribbean music called Calypsos from the West Indies on Monogram Records. The song was also featured on another Monogram compilation called Calypsos Too Hot to Handle. Farrakhan also released a solo album on Monogram called The Charmer."
RELEASED IN THE 1950's IN THE USA BY MONOGRAM (834).
THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A 4 INCH SPLIT ON THE SPINE
