Pay tribute to Shadow with $

Shadow is the spiritual ancestor of the song, if truth be told. His music is now turning up in several songs and singers are taking it to the extreme, smiling their way to the bank.

Third Bass’ Tush In The Bush last year was another example; only the lyrics belonged to the composer. Mr Famous of Play More Local fame is now becoming famous for imitating Shadow’s style.

My hope is that soca singers who are using the man’s musical genius pay tribute to him with an envelope filled with blue smackers, and not a thank you card.
