Known as the Crown Prince of Calypso, Cypher was an established calypsonian since the 1940s and appeared on the Cook Records compilations Calpypso Kings and Pink Gin (1958, with PNM Balisier), Calypso Atrocities (1959, with Sailor Man in Donkey Pants) and Calypso Exposed (1961 with Love Miss Dove).[1] After finishing as runner-up in 1956 (to Mighty Sparrow), Mighty Cypher won the 1967 Calypso King title with the songs Last Elections and If the Priest Could Play.[2] This victory led to the issue of a postage stamp in Trinidad and Tobago bearing his image.[3][4]
