Elton John

Elton John.

Pinner, Middlesex his place of birth
nineteen forty seven graced the earth.
Reginald Kenneth Dwight family name
Sir Elton Hercules John he became.

Started piano aged three
a little boy in a hurry.
Father played trumpet in the military
absent most of the time from family.

A divorce ensued when John fourteen
father completely out of the scene.
Mother loved her music too
many records she did accrue.

A music scholarship aged eleven
must have been his seventh heaven.
Five years of professional tuition
a great boost to his ambition.

Teaming up with Bernie Taupin
the road to fame would begin.
The rest is history as they say
still active universally today.

Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart.

Youngest of five Rod born
in 'forty five his first yawn.
Highgate. North London the place
well to do the populace.

A 'fantastically happy' boy
football and music his joy.
Arsenal his favourite football team
father encouraged his football dream.

He captained his school at the ball game
but music would find him fame.
Harmonica is first choice
then found that rasping voice.

Long John Baldrey took him on
the flip side with one song.
Decca records scouted him
Rod left them on a whim.

He found fame with 'Faces'
enthused with great auspices.
Rod still enjoyed a solo career
that raspy voice would domineer.

Oprah Gail Winfrey

Oprah Gail Winfrey.





The House of Reps. machine gunned

Puerto Ricans jailed, shunned.

Born into poverty in 'fifty four

abused, violated, I'll say no more.





Mississippi along the Yockanookany River

her mother placed to deliver.

Oprey, a son that died in infancy

a sad end to an errancy.





Pulled her finger out at high school

a job with the radio tool.

Anchoring the local radio news

ad libbing using schmooze.





Transferred to the talk show arena

becoming a communications Athena.

Overcoming adversity

maturing to prosperity





An earner and a giver

born to deliver.

The creator of rapport talk

showed us how to walk the walk.

Roberta Flack.

Roberta Flack.

Black Mountain. North Carolina origins
United States Housing Authority begins.
The recession biting deep
housing made more cheap.

Both parents musically inclined
aged nine she was musically primed.
On piano she really excelled
mentally, physically gelled.

Awarded a scholarship at just fifteen
the youngest students they'd seen.
changing her major from piano to voice
good at both she made her the choice.

Assisting to conduct the University choir
directing an opera another desire.
Direction of Aida she did pursue
not biting off more than she could chew.

Her maturing talents caused a sensation
the faculty gave her a standing ovation.
The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face
her great recording the world would embrace.

Celine Dion

Celine Dion

Charlemagne, Quebec in 'sixty eight
plenty around to interrelate.
The youngest of fourteen
a crowded scene.

Catholics and all heaven sent
parents Syrian and Lebanese descent.
Poverty stricken but happy house
all helping to espouse.

Celine starts singing very young
never nervous or hamstrung.
Sings in her parents piano bar
showing signs of going far.

Music manager René Angélil wept
'It was Only a Dream' caused this effect
He morgaged his home to make a star
and out of her parents piano bar.

Numerous awards at home and abroad
Celine exited not overawed.
Rich, famous, internationally known
a long way from her crowded home.

Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston.

Nineteen sixty three her birth

middle class for what it's worth.

Father ex military, theatrical manager

useful guide, budding entrepreneur.

New Jersey her childhood scene

a fashion model aged seventeen.

Her looks and girl next door manner

quickly made a valuable young signer.

World wide recording contract with Arista

stopped her trot as a singing drifter.

Whitney Houston her debut album

Rolling Stone raved, more to come!

Totalling seven number one hits

this lady no showbiz glitz.

Beating The Beatles and bee gees

Whitney the show biz bees knees.

Her end was rather pitiful

I thought at the time inexplicable.

Maybe she had loved Bobby Brown

and had a nervous breakdown.

Johnson Gideon Beharry VC

Johnson Gideon Beharry. VC

b1979

Beharry, never heard that name before
lets delve into him some more.
Granada in the Caribbean Sea
that's where his life came to be.

The island of nutmeg, fruit too
unspoiled white sand beaches to view.
Volcanic soil with good tilth
It remains within the Commonwealth.

In 'ninety nine our hero left
he must have been a little bereft.
English shores he eventually went
The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment.

An army life it was to be
keen, ambitious, full of esprit.
Service in Kosovo, N. Ireland
in 2004 the Iraqis land.

Driving a Warrior tracked vehicle
he performed a near miracle.
Though an ambush of raking fire
the whole platoon he did inspire.

A month later he ran out of luck
despite showing tremendous pluck.
Brain damaged in another attack
hospitalized a huge set back.

A Victoria Cross was his award
by family and nation much adored.
Back on duty with military affairs
Grenada can be proud of one of theirs.
