Lord Executor

Lord Executor (c. 1878-84 – 1952) was a Trinidadian calypsonian (calypso singer/composer). He belonged to the first generation of calypso pioneers that consisted of Julian Whiterose (Iron Duke; not to be confused with Duke of Iron), Norman le Blanc (Richard, Coeur de Leon), Henry Forbes the Inventor (Senior Inventor) and Black Prince (Christopher Howell). Unlike these other early figures, however, Executor recorded extensively during the golden age of calypso of the 1930s and early 1940s, producing 28 record sides (78-rpm) and directly exerting influence on the second generation of calypsonians he worked alongside.
