1	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!
2	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 $3.70! new only from $5.27!
3	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 $1.99! new only from $15.00!
4	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!
5	Island in the Sun [Pair] (1990) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $2.45! new only from $12.29!
6	A Foreign Sound (2004) more music like this by Caetano Veloso When an international artist records an English-language album, crossover is usually in the cards. For Caetano Veloso, however, it's an entirely different matter. The statesman of Brazilian pop, a musical giant who is on track to record more in his fifth decade of artistic striving than in any other (not to mention his accompanying exploits in ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.23!
7	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 $2.95!
8	The Folk Years [Box Set] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Time-Life's The Folk Years is a massive survey of folk, pop-folk, and folk-rock from the 1950s and 1960s spread out over eight discs. At 15 songs per CD -- equaling 120 total -- this chronicle offers a healthy sampling of popular folk music covering dozens of known and forgotten singers and bands. The emphasis of the collection is on popular folk ... see all copies from $96.36! new only from $96.36!
9	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!
10	Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte/Gentle on My Mind (1999) more music like this by Patti Page In 1999, Collectables released Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte/Gentle on My Mind, which contained two complete albums -- Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1965, originally released on Columbia) and Gentle on My Mind (1968, originally released on Columbia) -- by Patti Page on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
11 view cover	Happiness Is (1966) more music like this by Ray Conniff An aggressively "happy" album by Ray Conniff and his singers, Happiness Is combines exuberant singalongs, wordless vocals, and instrumentals in a grab-bag album that covers many -- if not most -- of Conniff's bases. A couple of mellow moments don't detract from the overarching sunniness of the album, which lapses into delicious self-parody with ... see all copies from $8.00!
12 view cover	The Power of Love (1982) more music like this by Arlo Guthrie As the 1970s wore on, Arlo Guthrie continued to grow with each subsequent release, wrapping up the decade with what were not only his two most personal albums, but arguably his two best, Amigo and Outlasting the Blues (with the lukewarm live recording One Night between the two). Continuing his longtime association with producer John Pilla, he ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.51!
13 view cover	An Evening with Belafonte (1957) more music like this by Harry Belafonte Riding high on the success of the Calypso album, Harry Belafonte went back to doing what he had started out to do: record a variety of folk songs from different cultures around the world. This album exhibited his widest scope of selections yet, including songs from Haiti ("Merci Bon Dieu"), Israel ("Hava Nageela"), and Mexico ("Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!
14 view cover	Three (1976) more music like this by Bob James By Three, Bob James -- the pianist, composer, and arranger -- was deep into jazz-funk. The five tracks here reflect his obsession with hard, danceable grooves that take as much from the soul-jazz book as they do his years with CTI. Using many of the same session players he bonded with at his former label -- including Eric Gale, Hugh McCracken, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.77!
15 view cover	Forbidden Island/Primitiva (1996) more music like this by Martin Denny This two-fer combines Martin Denny's third and fourth LPs into one single-disc CD reissue, with new liner notes by Martin himself augmenting the original artwork. If you're interested enough in this exotica bandleader to want more than a greatest-hits collection, it's a good investment. The fidelity's much better than what you're likely to find if ... see all copies from $9.59! new only from $9.59!

23 view cover	Banana Boat Song (2002) more music like this by Harry Belafonte A three-disc box set, this anthology might be too much material for the casual Harry Belafonte fan, although there are some wonderful rare recordings included here for the collectors. The first disc is essentially a greatest-hits sequence, including his most famous Caribbean-based songs like "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" and "Jump in the Line."
