Over the years Harry Belafonte has generated a
truly remarkable
catalogue
of original recordings covering a broad range of musical styles.
His visits to
the
studio have been less frequent in recent times yet a steady
stream of new
compact discs, featuring his distinctive voice and unique
interpretations,
continues to
appear in record shops around the globe. These
collections are,
of
course,
compilations which draw from this same body of
work. The present
project
concentrates on identifying the artist's individual
tracks (525 in all,
excluding
video soundtracks) while showing the manner
in which they
were first
introduced to listeners. What follows is first and
foremost a
discography of
original recordings ("first issues").
Enter this
world at the
risk of falling victim to the mystique
of old vinyl records
and
the nostalgia of the 1950s' and 60s' music scene.
