Twenty years ago Calypso Rose, once this country's only female Road March winner, ruled the streets for Carnival with "Come Leh We Jam". Since then the title has changed hands many times with SuperBlue grabbing the coveted prize eight times - three of those times in his earlier incarnation as Blue Boy.
Here is a look back at the Road March champions of the last five decades:
