CHAULKIE is a living Encyclopedia. All Calypsonians are great in their own track, especially the Mighty Sparrow, But Chalkie is the Best all arounder we have encountered.
He is so purpose driven ,that certain types of Songs( vulgarity, and smut and woman degraging,and disrespecting) are not in his repetoir..
We need to give special recognition and stature to him. He is a no_nonsence and respectable gentleman.
I consider him as the greatest ever without prejudice..
I rate him so high he gets first , second, and third in my judgemental decision.
Lets do everything to fully preserve his work.
He is in my estimation "THE CULTURAL ICON OF THE WORLD".
Give Mr. Hollice Liverpool what he deserves from now, we cant wait until he is gone to the life beyond .
