Lord Executor

Lord Executor was a Trinidadian calypsonian. He belonged to the first generation of calypso pioneers that consisted of Julian Whiterose, Norman le Blanc, Henry Forbes the Inventor and Black Prince. Unlike these other early figures, however, Executor recorded extensively during the golden age of calypso of the 1930s and early 1940s, producing 28 record sides (78-rpm) and directly exerting influence on the second generation of calypsonians he worked alongside. According to the Roaring Lion, Executor "helped raise the general standard of the Calypso genre, gaining it more respect and acceptability in the public eye".
