After writing about Spike Jones yesterday, today I had to do Harry Belafonte. My parents had the “Calypso” LP and I played it to death, as a pre-teen. My parents bought me many of the LP’s listed above. I know many of them by heart. Not so sure on some of the dates above, just guessing. I know I’m missing a few, too.
Of particular note is the multi-CD boxed set “The Long Road To Freedom – An Anthology of Black Music” on RCA / Buddah – 80 tracks on 5 CD’s – I believe it was originally intended to be a 10LP boxed set. Mr. Belafonte was one of the producers of this masterpiece compilation. It was recorded between 1961 and 1971, and finally released in 2001. The whole package is wonderful, with a hard-bound 140 page book and DVD!
