The problem with Belafonte, I fear, is that once you start, it's hard to stop.
I still have my 45s of some of these. Even a couple of picture sleeves!
ReplyDeleteJerry, thanks for these links to some of Belafonte's songs. His kiddie number "There's a hole in my bucket" has stuck with me since I heard it the first time.
