His pseudonym is mentioned in one of the Kingston Trio's "live performance" albums, but his given name is Irving Burgie. Among the songs he is best known for is "Day-O" which is otherwise known as "The Banana Boat Song" which is discussed elsewhere on Mudcat. He is also known for creating "Jamaica Farewell".

Coincidentally, his mother's home nation of Barbados, will become a republic on Tuesday (tomorrow). He would have liked that, I'm sure.
