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	Passage (1977) more music like this by The Carpenters Passage is surprisingly ambitious, almost experimental by the standards of the Carpenters -- there are no Richard Carpenter-authored songs, a first for the duo, and what is here seems an almost conscious effort to sound different from their prior work. That includes the ornate versions of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "Calling Occupants of ... see all copies from $4.49!
4	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!
5	Weir Here: The Best of Bob Weir (2004) more music like this by Bob Weir This two-CD compilation is the first to specifically focus on Bob Weir (guitar/vocals), both as a co-founder of the Grateful Dead and on his own. While Deadheads typically run hot and cold when it comes to Weir's material, many will inevitably consider Weir Here: The Best of Bob Weir (2004) as essential, due to the incorporation of half a dozen ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $15.99!
6	All-Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1988) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $5.51! new only from $80.21!
7	Truckin' Up to Buffalo: July 4, 1989 (2005) more music like this by Grateful Dead Spread over two CDs, 2005's Truckin' Up to Buffalo contains the Grateful Dead's entire 1989 Independence Day performance. This date -- from Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY -- was the second of their summer East Coast tour. Many if not all of those gigs were documented by a six-camera crew under the direction of Len Dell'amico. The thoroughly ... see all copies from $17.62! new only from $17.62!
8	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!
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	Calypso Hits (2006) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!

13 view cover	Day-O [North Star] (2003) more music like this by Harry Belafonte This brief collection is heavy on the Caribbean-based material that most people associate with Harry Belafonte. Songs like "Banana Boat (Day-O)," "Matilda," "Mama Look a Boo Boo," and "Jump in the Line" are undeniably infectious and went a long way toward introducing world music rhythms into Western pop music. Belafonte was more than a one-trick ... see all copies from $4.06! new only from $14.58!
14 view cover	Right or Wrong/Seven Year Ache (2001) more music like this by Rosanne Cash The issue of Rosanne Cash's first two Columbia albums in a single package is not only a listening delight, it's more importantly a historical document. In the same way archivists go back to finds the roots of certain evolutions in earlier strains of country music, these two records will be marked undoubtedly as the turning point from the ... see all copies from $19.18! new only from $19.18!
15 view cover	For Every Kinda People (1997) more music like this by Chaka Demus & Pliers Singer-DJ combinations are always lots of fun, especially when the DJ has the sampling smarts and booming delivery of Chaka Demus. Pliers' singing voice isn't world-class, but it's serviceable. The pair's taste in cover versions is impeccable -- having already released a fine version of "Twist and Shout" as a mid-'90s single, they check in here ... see all copies from $9.04!
16 view cover	Stranger Than Fiction (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The two-disc Stranger than Fiction assembles tracks sung by dozens of best-selling authors like Norman Mailer, Stephen King, Dave Barry and Maya Angelou, and yes, it's just as bad as you might expect. Backed by the Don't Quit Your Day Job house band -- a group including the likes of Warren Zevon and Jerry Jeff Walker -- the writers dismantle rock ... see all copies from $1.99!
17 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!
18 view cover	Banana Boat and Other Famous Folk Songs (1988) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $49.98! new only from $49.98!
19 view cover	Island in the Sun [Bear Family Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Harry Belafonte The German-based Bear Family is synonymous with serious archival releases for completists. The label's stringent attention to detail, top-shelf audio, as well as opulent packaging has earned the respect of any enthusiast lucky enough to obtain one of their titles. The five-volume Island in the Sun [Bear Family Box Set] continues that trend with ... see all copies from $103.52! new only from $103.52!
20 view cover	Sings 24 Calypso & Folk Songs (2005) more music like this by Harry Belafonte This Portuguese Harry Belafonte compilation concentrates primarily on the lighter side of the singer's recordings for RCA Victor in the 1950s and '60s. Although most of his hits were in the calypso style, few of them are included (no "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" or "Jamaica Farewell"), but the two sides of the minor U.S. chart single "Hold ‘Em Joe" ... see all copies from $7.59! new only from $7.59!
21 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!
22 view cover	Classic Album Collection (2008) more music like this by Harry Belafonte see all copies from $20.05! new only from $20.05!
