Volume 231: Simply Belafonte
When I featured this artist the first time on this show, he was still with us.
Unfortunately, Harry Belafonte passed away just a few weeks later.
This is the second record we will hear of the two my dad had from this singer. This was Harry’s second LP in his illustrious career. While his first did hit number three on the Billboard charts. This was his first of two number one albums.
So, get ready to hear one of the purest singing voices ever recorded in Volume 231: Simply Belafonte.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
