King Radio
Norman Span, known as King Radio, was a top Trinidadian calypsonian active in the 1930s and 1940s.[1]
He was a waterfront worker in Port of Spain when he started performing in public in 1929. Six years later he started his short-lived recording career.[2] He was the composer of many calypsos, several of which later became standards through popular recordings by Harry Belafonte such as "Matilda",[3] "Man Smart, Woman Smarter",[4] and "Brown Skin Girl".[5]
