Belefonte was a magnificent human being. He looked beyond race and country. He dedicates his life to justice.
Many thanks.

@belledecadix I remember singing this song by Ralph Mctell at the City University London Folk Club. We liked it so much we sang this song every week.

There is a quality to Belafonte's voice that I'm unable to put my finger on - the voice is soothing, calming, introspective, filled with emotion when needed, and all together, unique. Belafonte does a great job with this song. He gets the story across, with the needed emotion, and does it without the song becoming saccharine. Beautiful. To be fair, I also very much like the original version by Ralph McTell. Both are different, both are great

I bought the original Belafonte Album along with Elvis first little 45 long play the first time I ever entered a record store as a boy.

Hello Francois
Thank you for the information, so the information I got is incorrect, somebody told me that the Belafonte version was from 1947, but anyway, do you like the version of the captain of the banana boat or do you think the Mc Tell version used to be better?
Did you already know the version before I posted it??
Hope to hear it from you

The original is the one sung by the composer, Ralph Mc Tell (UK). You can find some versions on Youtube.

Hello Francois...
If that's the truth, my information is not correct, because in my information says that the Belafonte version is from 1984 and the Ralph Mc Tell version is recorded in the late 70's.
Maybe he wrote it earlier, please tell me.
I know the Ralph Mc Tell version, but think this one is at least as good as the "original"
