Description
This collection represents a varied selection of material from the early career of Harry Belafonte, drawn from all corners of American and Caribbean music.
It illustrates a period when he gained unprecedented mainstream success and popularity previously unheard of for a black performer in America, and it represents a time when he crossed over all barriers to appeal to many differing tastes in Pop, Jazz, and Folk music.
Here we reveal a man at home in all these genres of music, while at the same time being the first to popularise Caribbean music and giving it the exposure it had so long deserved.
