Island in the Sun: 20 Golden Songs Reviews:
Harry Belafonte 
2009-01-06 - I am a great fan of Harry Belafonte but this CD did not match up to his others. Just did not have the feel of Belafonte.
Poor quality 
2007-01-08 - The songs sound like poor quality live recordings. I am very disappointed.
Warning! Duplicate song! 
2005-04-30 - I think Belafonte's music is great, really great. And this compilation is fine, but I wanted to warn to anyone considering buying this disc that -in a way I can only describe as absurd and unbelievable- it has the same song TWICE on this very album/CD. As you will note if you read the list of songs, number 2 is "Banana Boat Song", and number 11 is "Day O"; so we have his biggest hit duplicate (and it's the very same version, the original). That added to the fact that it has only 14 (well, 13) songs with a lot of space that could be filled, make me not recommend it even for beginners. Try another compilation to begin with, like All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1, or the 3CD box set Banana Boat Song. And it is essential The Concert at Carnegie Hall (the first one) but, again, NOT the american version but the import edition in a double disc set (which is complete and totally worthy).
In My Quiet Room - Belafonte 
2004-09-29 - Someone please put "In My Quit Room" by Belafonte on CD.
Great 
2004-06-03 - I have been looking for some of these songs forever. However one of my all time favorite Belefonte records is "Love Is a Gentle Thing" please, please please put this out in CD.
Scarlet Ribbons and Turn Around are just a taste of what is on that wonderful record.
