Innovative, intelligent, and unceasingly creative, Belafonte's unique ability to find pop success with artful and socially committed material means he is long overdue for a critical reappraisal, and 2011 may well provide that with the release of his autobiography, My Song, co-written with Michael Shnayerson, and an HBO documentary on his life, Sing Your Song, directed by Susan Rostock and produced by Michael Cohl. This concise set, the soundtrack companion to that documentary, contains Belafonte's best-known and most essential tracks, including †Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair),† the ever enduring †Banana Boat Song (Day-O),† the gorgeous †Jamaica Farewell,† †Matilda,† †Jump in the Line,† and †Turn the World Around.†
