AllMusic Staff Pick: Harry Belafonte Calypso

Harry Belafonte became a star with the release of 1956's Calypso, which contained eight faux Jamaica-inspired folk tunes written by Brooklyn-born (and Juilliard trained) Irving Burgie. The songs were calypso the way that Porgy & Bess is blues, suggesting the form more than being it, but they were undeniably infectious, and the album was phenomenally successful, becoming the first album ever to sell a million copies in the U.S., and sold some 11 million copies worldwide.
