Real name: Cecil Belfon

Effective period / Period of releases: 1989

Cecil "Flying Turkey" Belfon was one of Grenada's most successful calypsonians in the 1970s, being crowned Calypso Monarch three years in a row in 1976, 1977, and 1978. He participated in the initial unrest of the Grenada Revolution in 1979 and became a soldier in the People's Revolutionary Army, serving until the collapse of the revolutionary government in 1983. He then returned to the calypso arena, again winning the Monarch title in his first competition since his return (1984). Afterwards, he again retired from active competition. Beginning in the late 1980s, he began to record more frequently, working primarily for New York-based labels.
