Jean and Dinah
Jean and Dinah is a Calypso song from Trinidad and Tobago in the Carribean sung by calypso artist Mighty Sparrow and became an international hit in 1956. This calypso, Sparrow's first hit, celebrated the increased availability of prostitutes following the closure of several American military bases in Trinidad following the ends of World War II.
