TV Critic John Crosby said he sounded like "Gerald McBoing Boing doing a rock-'n'-roll number with a trio called The Three Sunspots," and what Godfrey didn't know was that back home the studio audience was walking out in droves when he tuned in (cracked Hayes: "The natives get restless in the basement").

Mid-Manhattan's Le Cupidon closed down when calypso became popular, re-draped itself in hammock and palms and reopened two months ago as a calypso club with a Bahamian trio, two steel drummers. It has since added a converted blues singer named Anne English, now "Lady English," and two Harlem hat-check girls turned dancers. Oldest (eight months) calypso cave is Third Avenue's Jamaican Room, where the Virgin Islands' Carl McCleverty packs them in nightly with calypso...
