"Harry Belafonte - All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1"
Calypso King Harry Belafonte will always be known for his smooth voice and island-infused music.All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. Iwould not be complete without Belafonte's signature piece, the tropical work song "Day O." Its lasting appeal has probably been because of its place in music history as a cultural reference point, but it is also a wonderful showcase for the control Belafonte had over his instrument. Just try mimicking his note-perfect run of "He say day, he say day, he say day o-o-o" and you'll get the point.All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. Ialso has standards like "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" and "Abraham, Martin, and John." And, of course, the wonderfully playful "Cocoanut Woman" is here in all its exotic charm.--Steve Gdula
