IMAGES ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE
It is important for the generations who follow us to have a picture and record of this genius. More so because he is from among us, in a region the world sees as a place to come and lime on the beach and eat bananas and coconuts and experience exotic dancing; where some famous people have said that nothing was ever created. Gabby, as he is familiarly known, puts the lie to this. This book presents the life story of this pint-sized package of dynamism, the Mighty Gabby. It gives an overview of his life from birth to present; his musical life; his contribution to folk songs and calypso; his acting, sporting life and continuing service to community including the youth. It features a discography which includes some analysis of lyrics as well as an attempt to show the works against the historical chronology of the island, the region and the world.
