    Trinidad and Tobago's favorite calypsonian Lord Melody demonstrates exactly why he is the lord of melody in this collection of songs that includes "Crazy Love" and "Dr. Make Your Love." Two songs, "Cowboy Sparrow" and "Sparrow's Sister," are testament to the professional provocation of rival calypsonian Mighty Sparrow. Melody's vocals are backed by the Frankie Francis Orchestra and the March of Dimes Quartette.
