Timeline

1957

George Brindsley McSween (1919 – September 18, 1957), known as Sir Galba, was a Grenada-born calypso singer and recording artist in the 1940s and 1950s.

He was born George Brindsley McSween in the village of Birchgrove, St. Andrews, Grenada, in 1919. A troubled man, he had a relatively brief career and life, but Galba is remembered for his outstanding calypsos and contributions to the development of the calypso scene in Trinidad. He stabbed someone in a nightclub in 1952 and five years later, after stabbing his girlfriend, he committed suicide on 18 September 1957.

1954

Along with fellow Grenadians Small Island Pride and Zebra, Galba made a big impact on the Trinidad calypso scene after World War II, laying the groundwork for the arrival of the Mighty Sparrow, who entered the Trinidad Calypso scene in 1954 after migrating from Grenada to Trinidad 17 years earlier as a 2-year-old in 1937.

Sir Galba was noted for his clever and humorous lyrics, although few have survived. But the calypso, the 'Bajan Diplomat', taken from a recording, gives some idea of his playfulness. The calypso is partly a play on the lyrics of the popular song from the 1954 film, "Three Coins in a Fountain", but mostly a humorous dig at Trinidadians and Barbadians, especially sending up the broad Barbadian accent and playing on the common West Indian myth that Barbadians were often con artists.

1945

After developing his calypso career in Trinidad, Sir Galba performed at a number of shows in Grenada in 1945 in St George's, at the Eastern Theatre in Grenville and at the Spencer Gordon Hall in Paradise, featuring fellow calypsonians Small Island Pride (Theophilius Woods), The Mighty Zebra (Charles Harris), Lord Pretender, Lord Kitchener and Lord Ziegfield (Percy Simon).
