    This is one the great calypso songs from Harry Belafonte. I remember sinning this one with my sister when his music was popular in the 1950s. The last time I saw him was in the movie about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. He looked very old.

      Bob,
      I saw him recently and he did look old, but he is 87.

      I loved this song with its calypso beat. One of his albums was the first in the U.S. to sell over 1 million copies within a year of its release.
