Artist: Wilmoth Houdini
Author: Frederick Wilmoth Hendricks
Label: Brunswick
Year: 1931

Reissued on Poor But Ambitious - Calypso Classics From Trinidad 1928-1940 (Arhoolie).

Covers:

1994:

Sabres Of Paradise [as Wilmot]

1995:

Mighty Dub Kats [house version as Son Of Wilmot]

2003:

Shantel [as Bucovina; German DJ Stefan Hantel, his ancesters come from this region, part Rumania part Ukraine]

2008:

Ian Oliver feat. Shantel [idem; n°3 ESP, hit B & NL]

Funny how German DJ Shantel gives this particular tune a north-eastern Balkan aura while this tune originates from Trinidad. Unles he confused calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini with Hungarian-born escape artist Harry Houdini.
