List: 1956, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1972, 1973 and 1992: Mighty Sparrow, real name Slinger Fransisco (b. 1935) 8-time winner called the "Calypso King of the World". Undefeatable not only in calypso but also in health, as he looks much younger than what he is and still performs. 1964: Mighty Bomber, real name Clifton Ryan (b. 1928) Alive according to facebook, it has recent pictures of him (ca. 2019) and a message presumably from him about celebrating his 93th birthday. Often confirms that he is alive on his birthday on 30th of January by thanking god for another year. 1976, 1977, 1981, 1989, 1993, 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2017: Chalkdust, real name Hollis Liverpool (b. 1940) Starting to look older, but still performs. Clifton Ryan aka. Mighty Bomber won't thank god for another year anymore, as he died in his sleep on new year's day at the age of 93, under a month before his 94th: https://newsday.co.tt/2022/01/02/veteran-calypsonian-mighty-bomber-dies-at-93/ Mighty Sparrow ORTT CMT OBE, called the Calypso King of the World is now the oldest Calypso Monarch living.

Wow, they certainly had faces you couldn’t forget, I only knew them from being an unapologetic fan of the ‘Masked Singer’ franchise and they appeared on the French version. Possibly the first contestants to die from any version of that show? God knows… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted January 6, 2022 Not many Filipino names left on my list of people born up to 1926 now. There were dozens when I started it in '08.

drol 11,912 Posted January 6, 2022 Whang-od and Juan Ponce Enrile seems the toughest and both still pretty active (that Wangh-od still works daily, see on Twitter). Actually I read somewhere Whang-od does not exactly know when she was born and 1917 is a "fixed" date. She was actually born "between 1917 and 1925". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
