  • This was mentioned on NPR a few weeks ago and was my introduction to this song. Thanks for sharing!

  • @local2458

    Thank you and glad you found it. It is a very old vinyl, but much loved.

  • God bless you tube . I ve been looking for this for 20 years and the quality is awesome. tears for sylvie and its meaning

  • Thank you, mrbostin. I have had this recording for about 40 years and have loved every year of it. Tears here, too. C.

  • there MUST be some of Belafontes TV-show with Odetta and others in the late 50th, which was highly recommended. Id hope to see some of them before - as Belafonte said - "I leave the good earth"

  • Yes, there were many tv shows with dear Harry, but taping them was not always standard in the 50's. Many 60's shows were not taped, either. You have given me a search mission. Thanks!
