Harry Belafonte - Calypso + Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean [New CD] Spain - Im

2 LPs ON 1 CD PLUS 3 BONUS TRACKSHarry Belafonte’s artistic talent, good looks and honey-toned voice made him a star on stage, screen and vinyl. His masterful assimilation of folk, blues, jazz, and worldbeat rhythms allowed him to achieve a level of eminence and crossover popularity.In the mid-‘60s, Belafonte’s LP "Calypso" popularized the music of his Jamaican heritage and hit number one on the charts. This quintessential edition presents two of his finest albums, both of which include songs from the West Indies: the aforementioned best-seller Calypso (1956), and the equally influential "Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean" (1957). Both records were originally released by RCA-Victor during Belafonte’s most inspired years. They have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 3 bonus tracks from the same period that keep the Caribbean flavor.PERSONNEL:HARRY BELAFONTE, lead vocals, plus:Tony Scott and His Orchestra.Also featuring Millard Thomas,Franz Casseus (guitar),The Norman Luboff Choir (backing vocals),among others.Recorded in New York City, between 1955 and 1957.INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETTRACKS:CALYPSO (RCA Victor LP-1248, 1956)01 DAY O (BANANA BOAT SONG) 3:0502 I DO ADORE HER 2:5003 JAMAICA FAREWELL 3:0504 WILL HIS LOVE BE LIKE HIS RUM? 2:3505 DOLLY DAWN 3:1606 STAR O 2:0507 THE JACK-ASS SONG 2:5408 HOSANNA 2:4009 COME BACK LIZA 3:0710 BROWN SKIN GIRL 2:4511 MAN SMART (WOMAN SMARTER) 3:36BELAFONTE SINGS OF THE CARIBBEAN (RCA Victor LP-1505, 1957)12 SCRATCH, SCRATCH 2:4513 LUCY’S DOOR 3:4514 CORDELIA BROWN 2:5615 DON’T EVER LOVE ME 2:4916 LOVE, LOVE ALONE 3:2117 COCONUT WOMAN 3:1918 HAITI CHERIE 3:2019 JUDY DROWNED 3:2820 ISLAND IN THE SUN 2:4921 ANGELIQUE-O 2:4222 LEAD MAN HOLLER 4:17BONUS TRACKS23 MATILDA 3:1424 MONKEY 4:0125 JUMP IN THE LINE 3:44TOTAL TIME: 78:27
