But wait, after reading through that paragraph shouldn't you tell people who is the talented artist throwing down the vibe? Well, if you didn't know, you will never forget "Voice"! Yes, he is the Soca Monarch for 2016, 2017, and 2018; he is your International Soca Monarch. This is the other side of the Soca artist.

Whatever you are doing now make sure that you have something to drink before you press play to watch the video presentation with this post. This is David Rudder, the video is awesome, the music clean and sounds even better today. This David Rudder at his best, singing all the songs we fell in love with sung by this icon of the soil, sweet Trinidad and Tobago.
 
David Rudder is regarded as one of the most influential figures in Caribbean music. On July 28, 2018, Rudder performed what he billed as his "final show," titled 7.0, at Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The concert celebrated Rudder's career and contribution to Caribbean music. It was a fitting tribute to a man who had such a profound impact on the region's culture. Those who attended the show will forever be grateful for attending. Those who did not attend or watched it via pay per view will soon be able to view a rebroadcast for a small fee. 
 
As we celebrate David's career, we will forever be thankful for all the memorable music he gave us. In celebration of his legacy and creativity we present D'Music Safe and Sound Episode 7 that features David's awesome music. This feature presentation is so awesome, it will surely bring back nostalgic memories as you shed joy tears. As David would say, "Live yuh life like yuh playing mas, hand in the air and wave for me, time to misbehave".

Sunday is always a special day regardless of where you are in the world. It is a day to relax and reflect. While many folks in the Caribbean attend church for devotions, others travel to the market, return home with their goods, and prepare sumptuous Caribbean delights for their families. Having said that, some of us like to reflect and listen to relaxing music. For that reason, we have chosen a song, a classic song for your listening pleasure. This version, however, is by the Baron; here is "Green Green Grass of Home". May your Sunday be blessed.

 
Baron's rendition of the timeless classic by Claude "Curly" Putman Jr. and made famous by Tom Jones in 1966, is particularly moving, with his smooth and soulful voice perfectly capturing the emotion and sentiment of the lyrics. The singer has faithfully interpreted the original yet infusing it with his own unique style and infused it with a fresh and contemporary feel, which adds a fresh and contemporary touch to an already classic song. 
 
Today, there are so many radio stations in the Caribbean region today. However, 'back in the day' the music that dominated the airways was not Calypso or Soca (some will say it is the same today). "Green Green Grass of Home", sung by Tom Jones was very popular in Trinidad and Tobago. Baron delivered a version of the song that people loved creating a situation whereby radio stations had to play it. Baron's sweet voice and Caribbean-infused flavor made this song a favorite in Trinidad and Tobago pushing aside Tom Jones as the 'go to' version. Thanks to WACK Radio and Mr. Desmond, Baron's version is still played on the radio today!
 
Notes from the album titled, "Ballads with a Caribbean Flavor"(allmusic.com)
Living up to the name of the album, these are literally famous pop songs performed by Baron in a Caribbean style. The keyboard-crafted rhythms and melodies bring to mind Kenny G. and Billy Ocean, two musicians who may be a scary comparison to many listeners. But because these songs are recognizable and quite good themselves, this turns out to be a harmless collection that would appeal to anyone who has wanted to hear these songs changed around. As a side note, Tom Jones fans may be interested to know that Jones has covered almost half of this album in his own career, although the comparisons end there.

Soca music fans, we have the latest Soca charting for Soca music played in Trinidad and Tobago. There is no change at the top with Mood and Engine Room in the top two spots. Hard Fete is back on the chart and Mental Day by Kes breaks in at position number 10. The COTT Radio Play chart is a weekly ranking of the most played songs on Trinidad and Tobago radio stations, compiled by the Copyright Organization of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT).

 
COTT is a non-profit organization that represents the interests of composers, authors, and publishers of musical works in Trinidad and Tobago. The organization collects and distributes royalties to its members for the public performance and broadcast of their works, including on radio stations.
 
The COTT Radio Play chart is based on data provided by a sample of Trinidad and Tobago radio stations that report their weekly airplay to COTT. The chart reflects the total number of plays each song received during the week, and the data is weighted to account for differences in the number of radio stations and their audience sizes.
 
The COTT Radio Play chart is a popular source of information for music industry professionals, artists, and fans in Trinidad and Tobago. It provides an insight into the most popular songs on local radio stations and helps to promote the work of local musicians and composers.
