Harry Bellafonte was a vocalist known for folk songs & calypso who was born in New York & spent his childhood in Jamaica. This is a recording of the charity concert held in April 1959, when Bellafonte was in his early 30s. He is backed by an orchestra conducted by Robert Coman (Robert Decormier), who used Norman Keenan’s contrabass, as well as guitar & Latin percussion ensembles. When the Japanese LP record was released for the 1st time, RCA Victor (USA) supplied a 2-track, 15 ips analogue master tape. As a result of repeated listening, it was decided that this was the best of various master tapes, so it was used for the SACD too. Sony Music Studio engineer, Yuta Nakamura transferred the tapes to 24bit/96kHz PCM, then Koji Suzuki, another engineer at Sony Music Studio did the mastering from this PCM for the LP & SACD.

An actor, humanitarian, and the acknowledged "King of Calypso," Harry Belafonte ranked among the most seminal performers of the postwar era. One of the most successful African-American pop stars in history, Belafonte's staggering talent, good looks, and masterful assimilation of folk, jazz, and worldbeat rhythms allowed him to achieve a level of mainstream eminence and crossover popularity virtually unparalleled in the days before the advent of the civil rights movement – a cultural uprising which he himself helped spearhead.

After flirting with traditional African-American material in his previous albums, Belafonte, for the first time, devotes an entire album to the blues. However, of the eleven songs, only two could be classified as traditional blues: "In the Evenin' Mama" and "Cotton Fields," the latter given a five minute treatment. Belafonte would take this song on the road as part of his live act for the next decade. Of the other songs, three were covers of Ray Charles standards ("A Fool For You," "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "Mary Ann"). Another highlight is Belafonte's rendition of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child." With few exceptions, the entire album is understated and not as exciting or riveting as other Belafonte records. Still, it's solid listening, and taken track by track, thoughtful performances. Footnote: this was the first Belafonte album recorded in stereo. Some releases feature a thick, dark blue spine.
