5 out of 5 stars Belafonte Review   June 20, 2008
Barbara Gomez (New York, NY)
I could listen for hours. It reminded me so of my father walking around our home singing this music. This is ageless.


4 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for   February 8, 2008
Jennifer Slaughter (San Diego, CA USA)
I was looking for a comprehensive Belafonte album...and I found it. This has all his great hits and some I've never heard. A great album to put on for a party or to drive.

Mrs. F. E. Crane (England)
Brilliant cd with all the familiar Belafonte songs. Some were new to me but just as good.


5 out of 5 stars Get Out of My Head!   December 7, 2007

First thing's first, not 100% of this album deserves 5 stars. 1 song is downright painful, a little over 1/2 are ok, and the rest are incredible. I was expecting 20-ish tracks just like my favorite upbeat calypso songs. That is not what this album is. It also includes Belafonte's slower songs, many of which are the album's low points.

So why in the world would I give 5 starts for such a lackluster combination? Because those songs that are great make the whole purchase well worth it. The stand-out tracks are so good and so infectious that I had to stop listening to the album for a few days because I couldn't stop singing them to myself. Fun, fun, fun music!

I'd list which songs I think are worth it so you can just buy those tracks if you agree with this review, but I'm sure opinions will differ as to which are the best tracks. Also, some tracks I didn't think I'd like have become my favorites after subsequent listenings.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with my purchase of this album.

My dad had many Belafonte LPs when I was growing up and having this cd brought back a lot of old memories. This is a great cd.
