about
Clifton Ryan known in the calypso world as the Mighty Bomber was born in St Georges, Grenada on 30th January 1928. His mother was a Grenadian and his father was a Trinidadian from Serraneau Road, Belmont. From a very early age he realized that he could compose and sing calypsoes and would keep notes of the songs in a copy book. His work soon came to the attention of a friend who arranged for him to enter the Grenada Calypso competition in 1940 at the tender age of 12. His rendition was so good that he won this first competition and repeated this feat until 1947. Bomber also wrote for a friend Wilfred Baptiste known as Young Melody who was often second to him in these competitions. After 1947 he started to give his best calypsoes to Young Melody who began winning the Grenada Calypso Competition at Queens Park.
