Norman Lugard Beaton was a Guyanese actor long resident in the United Kingdom. Beaton attended Queen's College in Guyana until he was expelled for truancy and bad grades.He was given a second chance at the Government Teachers' Training College and graduated with distinction. Beaton taught and played with the calypso band The Four Bees before leaving Guyana for London in 1960. In the early 1970s, Beaton began to perform in plays in London's West End. In 1970 he played the role of Ariel in Shakespeare's The Tempest, which he described in his autobiography as "the most important role of my acting career", and also played a small role in the Frankie Howerd comedy film Up the Chastity Belt the following year. In 1975, he helped to establish the Black Theatre of Brixton. In 1975 Beaton played Nanki-Poo in The Black Mikado, a modern version of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. In 1976, Beaton broke into television in the series The Fosters, which also featured a young Lenny Henry, and the following year played the lead role in a low-budget independent film about a West Indian community in London, Black Joy; he also appeared in the BBC series Empire Road. However, it was his six-year run (starting in 1988) in Channel Four's Desmond's, (written by Trix Worrell) as the title character Desmond Ambrose, that would become his best-known role. For Desmond's Beaton received the Royal Television Society Best Comedy Performer Award. He played the lead role of Willie Boy in the 1987 comedy Playing Away, about a West Indian cricket team invited to play a rural white team. He appeared as a guest on The Cosby Show in 1991 (episode: "There's Still No Joy in Mudville"), and in Little Napoleons. He also appeared in several movies, including The Mighty Quinn (1989) #NormanBeaton #Desmond #Guyana #Islandpeeps #TheMightyQuinn (at Guyana)

Tuesday Night Bonus Album “Mighty Garvey!”’is the fifth and final studio album by Manfred Mann, released on 28 June 1968 by Fontana Records. It was the last recorded by the band (not including compilations) after the change of direction and personnel of their 1966 album As Is. It continued a transition away from jazz and blues towards self-composed art-pop. Despite including two UK top 5 hit singles (Bob Dylan's "Mighty Quinn" and Tony Hazzard's "Ha! Ha! Said The Clown"), the album did not chart and the band split up the year after. In the US and Canada, it was released as “#themightyquinn ” by #mercuryrecords My copy is the U.S. release (one from the back room, as a souvenir, with the cover thrashed) on Mercury Records - SR 61168, the only such original album label I have. #rockandroll #manfredmann #thesixties #englishrock https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCPfXYrJva/?utm_medium=tumblr
