"More than two decades ago –– 26 years to be exact –– Rita Forrester created a national stir when she was announced winner of the Pic-O-De-Crop competition, beating out her composer and fellow calypsonian John King by .2 of a percentage point. The date was July 29, 1988; and, as the results became known, there was a hue and cry over the judges’ decision.

Singing Can’t Party and Woman Respect Yourself, the Guyanese-born Queen Rita, who until this day is still the only female to capture the highly sought after crown, scored 71.1 to inch ahead of King with 70.9 points."
