Crosby's – 13th Street Promotions

It’s Christmas time, and it’s that time for music! On “Oldies Sunday“, you’re going to hear something classic, and something that brings back memories. Today, we head on over to Trinidad & Tobago to check out Sharlene Flores’ “Parang Soca Fun“.

Produced by Joe Brown with Wayne Flores and Ronnie Kalicharan of Flores De San Jose and released through Crosby’s in 1993, Sharlene Flores welcomed the Christmas season with good vibes in, “Parang Soca Fun”. There’s no Christmas party like a Caribbean Christmas party, and Flores brought in a great voice and music, and invited all listeners to partake in dance, food, fun, and unity. Listeners couldn’t help but dance to this one, and it quickly gained rotation in the Caribbean. “Parang Soca Fun” was featured on the 1993 album of the same name. Parang is a joyous time, and is made memorable with music by the likes of Sharlene Flores.

It’s that time of year when it’s colder than cold, and Sorrel and Ham become holiday staples. It’s Christmas time on Oldies Sunday. For today’s entry, we take a trip to Trinidad & Tobago to hear Marcia Miranda’s “Gimme Love Fuh Christmas“!

Arranged by Pelham Goddard, “Gimme Love Fuh Christmas” was released through Crosby’s in 1993. The holiday-themed track finds Marcia Miranda rejecting all the typical gifts that one would want for Christmas, and is instead needing love from her Husband. It gets very chilly at that time of year, and without the love of her life, the season is a sad one. “Gimme Love” resonates with many during this time of year as some would find themselves lonely, or even distant from the ones they love. We hope that changes for many of our listeners. Marcia Miranda’s “Gimme Love Fuh Christmas” became a popular Parang track when released, and is still played through various outlets to this day.

Marcia Miranda is still very active in the Caribbean, and has a catalogue that extends beyond Parang. Stay tuned to this platform for another holiday offering on Oldies Sunday!
