Description

Jamaica Farewell (Lord Burgess) by Harry Belafonte, orchestra conducted by William Lorin

Here’s one of the songs that helped kick off the 1956-57 calypso music craze. A different arrangement from the more up-tempo ‘folky’ version found in Harry’s current #1 album “Calypso” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aajSxr8nghE ), this hit single was presented as a poignant ballad with a more orchestral accompaniment.

THE 1956 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs that made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1956 (some were recorded in 1955).
