"ALWAYS MARRY A WOMAN UGLIER THAN YOU!" - IVAN CLAUDE (ANTIGUA & BARBUDA 50'S/60'S)

"ALWAYS MARRY A WOMAN UGLIER THAN YOU" 
IVAN CLAUDE (50’S/60’S)

Ivan Claude from Antigua and Barbuda wrote and performed the calypso song "Always Marry A Woman Uglier Than You" back in the late fifties or early sixties. Many Bahamians sang it here in The Bahamas. It was a great success.

One day, not too long ago, Erskine was asked by a young Bahamian man: "How can I find the right woman?!" He jokingly replied by saying: "Always marry a woman uglier than you!" quoting from the old calypso song by Ivan Claude.
