This CD tie-in to Harry Belafonte’s autobiography My Song and the documentary Sing Your Song is a collection of his favourite songs and runs in chronological order to show his musical development over the years.

Initially known for introducing calypso to the world, this collection shows his voice copes superbly with different styles, from the uptempo Coconut Woman to the sensitivity of Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair).
