Sir Lancelot(1902-2001)
- Actor
- Music Department
- Soundtrack
He was born Lancelot Victor Edward Pinard, to well-to-do Anglophile
parents in Trinidad. Oddly though, it wasn't until schooling took him
to New York City in 1940 that he discovered a love of calypso music. In
a profession where successful artists commonly took names like King
Radio or Lord Invader, it was natural for someone named Lancelot to
choose the stage name Sir Lancelot, and with that name he wrote and
performed calypso (with some acting on the side) for movies, live
theater, and radio beginning in the 1940's.
