1	The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas: 2 CD Collection [2001] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas combines both volumes of the series into a two-CD set. Christmas Spirit features some of the season's liveliest pop hits, such as Perry Como's "Home for the Holidays," Ella Fitzgerald's "Jingle Bells," and Julie Andrews' "Joy to the World," as well as mellower songs like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Andy ... see all copies from $3.40! new only from $8.68!
2	Calypso (1956) more music like this by Harry Belafonte This is the album that made Harry Belafonte's career. Up to this point, calypso had only been a part of Belafonte's focus in his recordings of folk music styles. But with this landmark album, calypso not only became tattooed to Belafonte permanently; it had a revolutionary effect on folk music in the 1950s and '60s. The album consists of songs ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $10.00!
3	The Essential Harry Belafonte (2005) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Harry Belafonte's influence on pop music is much more far reaching then many realize, as he was one of the first performers to bring worldbeat rhythms to the U.S. charts in the postwar era. Born in Harlem, but spending a good part of his childhood in his mother's native Jamaica, Belafonte grew up straddling cultures and musical styles, and ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
4	Billboard Top Christmas Hymns (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Billboard Top Christmas Hymns features orchestral and choral versions of some of the most popular holiday-season hymns, devotional songs, and carols (a few in extended medleys). Some of the singers and other big names present include Eugene Ormandy, Johnny Mathis, Julie Andrews, Andre Previn, Ray Conniff, Percy Faith, the Harry Simeone Chorale, ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.00!
5	To Wish You a Merry Christmas (1962) more music like this by Harry Belafonte A reissue of LPM-1887 from 1958 with different liner art, but identical otherwise. The original was only issued in mono, so it is likely RCA decided that while they were issuing the stereo masters, they'd update the artwork to include Belafonte's photogenic presence. Cary Ginell, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $11.06!
6	Pure Gold (1975) more music like this by Harry Belafonte A straight-up budget reissue of a '70s golden hits package (minus the fake electronic stereo), this brings together all of Harry's early calypso hits. Highlights include "Matilda," "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)," "Jamaica Farewell," and the obligatory "Day-O (Banana Boat Song)." Belafonte was the first great popularizer of calypso music in America, ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
7	Belafonte at Carnegie Hall (1959) more music like this by Harry Belafonte The granddaddy of all live albums, this double-LP set captures the excitement of a Harry Belafonte concert at the height of his popularity. Sampled from two consecutive performances of identical material, Belafonte at Carnegie Hall was an anomaly at a time when only comedy albums were recorded outside of the studio environment. It wasn't the first ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.06!
8	Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall (1960) more music like this by Harry Belafonte On May 2, 1960, Harry Belafonte returned to Carnegie Hall for what was supposed to be one of the last concerts in the venerable hall's last season. Carnegie was scheduled to be torn down, although this was an edict that was thankfully short-lived. The hall was instead renovated and remains one of New York's premier showplaces. The first Carnegie ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
9	Very Best of Harry Belafonte [RCA] (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte RCA's Very Best of Harry Belafonte fulfills the title in fine fashion, compiling 20 of his best-known hits onto a single CD (though it cheats slightly by adding a pair of unreleased tracks, "Bam Bam Bamba" and "Two Brothers"). Fans of his breakout Calypso LP from 1956 will find several tracks here -- the obvious "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" plus ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $15.75!
10	All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (1978) more music like this by Harry Belafonte All Time Greatest Hits collects most of Harry Belafonte's biggest calypso hits, including "Banana Boat (Day-O)." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
11 view cover	An Evening with Harry Belafonte & Friends (1997) more music like this by Harry Belafonte An Evening With Harry Belafonte & Friends is an album to accompany the live performance of the same shown on PBS television stations in 1997. It is a remarkable album, especially considering Belafonte's longevity. The album contains multiple songs dealing with oppression and freedom, as it is one of Belafonte's major endeavors. There are some ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.75!
12 view cover	Harry Belafonte Christmas (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Harry Belafonte Christmas features the legendary vocalist singing a number of Christmas-themed songs. Some of these songs -- "Twelve Days of Christmas," "I Heard Bells on Christmas Day," "Silent Night," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- will be familiar to all. However, most of the songs featured on this collection are fairly obscure, like ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $8.29!
13 view cover	Chart Toppers: Dance Hits of the 50s (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Priority's Chart Toppers series is an excellent budget-line collection, offering a strong selection of 15 original hits, grouped by a specific theme and decade, on each disc. Chart Toppers: Dance Hits of the 50s combines rock & roll, doo wop, rockabilly, R&B, and pop hits -- an eclectic bunch, to say the least, but the variety helps capture the ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
14 view cover	Jump Up Calypso (1961) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Belafonte was an established all-around entertainer and actor by the time of this album, so it could be seen in a sense as a return to "roots" styles. In any case, it's all-out calypso, with backing by the Trinidad Steel Band, and qualifies as one of his most energetic albums, even getting rambunctious at times. Richie Unterberger, All Music ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $50.00!
15 view cover	Ultimate Collection (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $27.41! new only from $27.41!
16 view cover	My Lord What a Mornin' (1960) more music like this by Harry Belafonte With this album, Belafonte moved into his most artistically productive period. The albums he made into the mid-60s were all concept albums zeroing in on specific folk music themes. My Lord What A Mornin' was the first of two albums that featured the choir known as the Belafonte Folk Singers, conducted by Bob Corman, who were now recording as a ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $5.54!

18 view cover	Free to Be...You and Me (1972) more music like this by Various Artists A real groundbreaker, this recording caught the fancy of hundreds of thousands well before modern children's music. The values it imparts are still important, particularly in the area of equality of males and females. For ages three to ten. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.99!
19 view cover	Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits: 1955-Present (1989) more music like this by Various Artists A rather skimpy but nonetheless useful compilation of Christmas songs, this ten-song set (companion volume to Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits: 1935-1954) wisely steers mostly clear of the annoying novelty Christmas songs of the rock era -- although, sadly, it does force upon its listeners the horrifyingly bad "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $6.99!
20 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 50's, Vol. 2 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The label was on a roll -- Elvis, Jim Reeves, Belafonte, even The Isley Brothers. A fascinating collection. Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 50's, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The 1950s are generally seen as the first blooming of rock & roll, but there was still an awful lot of pop music on the charts, and this set spotlights a large chunk of it. In between a breakthrough record like "Heartbreak Hotel" there was sprightly fare on either side of it, like Pee Wee King's "Slow Poke," Eddie Fisher's "Dungaree Doll," Perry ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
22 view cover	An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba/The Magic of Makeba (2002) more music like this by Miriam Makeba With Harry Belafonte Collectables Records' discount-priced two-fer CD reissue of the 1965 RCA Victor LP An Evening With Belafonte/Makeba and the 1966 album The Magic of Makeba puts together the last two of the six discs featuring Makeba that RCA released, and since they followed each other sequentially, it's an appropriate pairing chronologically. Stylistically, there ... see all copies from $11.72! new only from $11.72!
23 view cover	Treasury of Christmas: Christmas Spirit (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.95!
24 view cover	Christmas in TV Land: Classic Favorites from Holiday Specials (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $19.99!
25 view cover	Legendary Performer (1978) more music like this by Harry Belafonte An otherwise fine retrospective of many of Harry Belafonte's best-known performances from the 1950s is spoiled by RCA producer Ethel Gabriel's insistence upon using the disastrous "electronic reprocessing" system (tinny high end on one channel, muffled low end on the other) that destroyed so many reissues in the 1960s and '70s. Although most of ... see all copies from $5.80! new only from $15.00!
