From the back cover: King Streak and the Four Princes are among the most popular Calypso night club acts in the nation. They have worked in the finest rooms from New York to Las Vegas. The boys were voted "The All Star Calypso Favorites" by a campus poll in 1955 which is actually before the craze hit the general public. "King", whose real name is Paul Sebastian is a native of Jamaica and has spent his life doing what he loves best, singing. The boys have been together, intact, for six years now and according to "King", the "Princes" are with him "Til de tourists get restless."
