CALYPSO
1956, RCA VICTOR
A sunny album for Harry Belafonte that opens with one of his biggest hits, "Day O," which will be found in a modernized version on the soundtrack of the upcoming Tim Burton film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel, 36 years later, to the film that introduced Winona Ryder. The island atmosphere permeates the eleven tracks of this album released in 1956, most of which were written by Lord Burgess, a singer and guitarist from New York. A true best of, this third studio album by the African American singer was a huge success, selling over a million copies. Harry's delicate voice shines on "Brown Skin Girl," "The Jack-Ass Song" picks up the tempo while "Jamaica Farewell" is a love letter to the reggae island, a style that will emerge a decade after the release of Calypso. A flawless record by an exceptional artist.
