1	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 $11.03! new only from $11.03!

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 $15.73! new only from $15.73!
4	Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Digitally remastered in 2000, RCA's triple-disc package Greatest Hits is a stellar overview of Harry Belafonte's career, covering 53 tracks spanning the years 1952-1972. While Belafonte is, of course, best known for popularizing calypso music, Greatest Hits doesn't place a disproportionate emphasis on that aspect of his career; instead, the ... see all copies from $23.39! new only from $23.39!
5	Brothers Four Songbook/The Big Folk Hits (2000) more music like this by The Brothers Four In 2000, reissue giant Collectables took smooth crooners the Brothers Four and put 1961's Songbook and 1963's The Big Folk Hits (both originally released on Columbia) onto one happy disc.

7	3 Originals (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Curiously, given the title of this repackaging of three European Harry Belafonte CDs, none of them is precisely an "original" release. And, in fact, they cover material from four, not three LPs, plus a couple of other stray tracks. But such qualifications are only to suggest that 3 Originals actually contains more music than you might expect. At a ... see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!

9	Trojan Sunshine Reggae (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Sunshine Reggae, a three-disc box set from Trojan Records, is a sugary delight, with 50 tracks of reggae odes to the sun and the beach, subjects obviously dear to the hearts of Jamaican musicians. Disc one opens with a wonderful version of the dockside tallyman's work song "Day O (The Banana Boat Song)," which is probably best remembered in the ... see all copies from $18.05! new only from $18.05!
10	Magic Moments: The Best of '50s Pop (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Shout Factory's Magic Moments: The Best of '50s Pop isn't a flashy box set -- apart from an introduction from Billy Vera, there's little in the way of liner notes, nor does it boast any rare or unexpected material. But that's it's charm. Over the course of three discs and 60 tracks, Magic Moments serves up many of the biggest vocal pop hits of the ... see all copies from $38.20! new only from $38.20!
11 view cover	Sand and Steel: The Classic Sound of Jamaican Steel Bands (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The steel drum ensemble has a relatively recent history, emerging in Trinidad in the 1930s out of jump up groups who marched in festive Carnival processions banging all manner of car parts, pots, pans and tins, until the loose concept of a "steel orchestra" began to take shape. Things were helped along immeasurably when Winston "Spree" Simon began ... see all copies from $14.49! new only from $14.49!

14 view cover	Patchwork (2000) more music like this by Priestie Boys see all copies from $6.95!
15 view cover	Calypso From Jamaica (1997) more music like this by Harry Belafonte It is interesting to note that the pop-calypso (as opposed to real calypso) boom of the mid-'50s was engineered largely by a charismatic singer born in Harlem and a Julliard-trained composer from Brooklyn. Both Harry Belafonte, whose mother was from Jamaica, and Irving Burgie, who spent his childhood in a West Indies neighborhood in New York, had ... see all copies from $99.80!

20	Golden Records [Die Grossen Erfolge] (1964) more music like this by Harry Belafonte It may be that Harry Belafonte's popularity as a recording artist fell so precipitously when he and so many others were shunted aside by the British Invasion that his label, RCA Victor Records, didn't think there was much hope for a hits collection in the 1964 marketplace. Or it simply may be that, since a brief flurry of hit singles in 1957, he ... see all copies from $11.89!
21 view cover	Snow South of the Border (2008) more music like this by Hank Snow Hank Snow often misses out when the greatest country & western singers of all time are surveyed, but he was certainly one of the best. A Canadian transplant, he understood the desolate life of the Southwest deeply, and evoked it perfectly. (Even though he grew up in Nova Scotia, he spent most of his adolescence on a fishing boat.) His deep, steady ... see all copies from $23.43! new only from $23.43!
22 view cover	Live in Concert at the Carnegie Hall (1993) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Although an initial glance might not tip off even the most observant of consumers, this German two-disc set includes the entire contents of the 1959 double-LP Belafonte at Carnegie Hall [LP]. In North America, the title was reissued in the early '90s. Sadly, it was a considerably truncated single CD. Compiled from two benefit concerts -- on June ... see all copies from $18.58! new only from $18.58!
