Warning! Duplicate song!,
By
This review is from: Harry Belafonte - Island in the Sun: His Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I think Belafonte's music is great, really great. And this compilation is fine, but I wanted to warn to anyone considering buying this disc that -in a way I can only describe as absurd and unbelievable- it has the same song TWICE on this very album/CD. As you will note if you read the list of songs, number 2 is "Banana Boat Song", and number 11 is "Day O"; so we have his biggest hit duplicate (and it's the very same version, the original). That added to the fact that it has only 14 (well, 13) songs with a lot of space that could be filled, make me not recommend it even for beginners. Try another compilation to begin with, like All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1, or the 3CD box set Banana Boat Song. And it is essential The Concert at Carnegie Hall (the first one) but, again, NOT the american version but the import edition in a double disc set (which is complete and totally worthy).

Eureka!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Island in the Sun-20 Golden So (Audio CD)
Having searched widely for a cd of "Love is a Gentle Thing", one of Belafonte's finest lps of long ago, and finding none, I was thrilled to locate a key song, "Turn Around" on this collection. Wonderful for a wedding video!

THIS IS GREAT - BUT WE AGREE WITH OTHER REVIEWER,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harry Belafonte - Island in the Sun: His Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
My husband and I also have been trying to find what we think are among the 2 best Belafonte lps we have - "Love is a Gentle Thing" and "In My Quiet Room". There are so many albums of his with duplicate songs - we just wish his promoters would let us buy these special two. We still have 15+ of his lps with non-dupe pieces we would love to find in collections without getting ones with 95% songs we already have on them.
