Belafonte Sings The Blues era a gravação perferida do inimitável cantor, e também há muito tempo um dos favoritos dos audiófilos. Neste disco o lendário Harry Belafonte dá vida às palavras e melodias do legado blues Americano com uma qualidade de som fabulosa. Estas 11 canções clássicas foram gravadas em quatro sessões durante 1958 e editadas pela série RCA Living Stereo nesse ano.

A favorite off the recommended list by The Absolute Sound magazine, and, as expressed in the liner notes, Harry Belafonte's favorite recording. Belafonte has never before sung on records as he does in this album. He is freer, more earthy, more exultantly identified with his material than ever before. He has always communicated an often ferocious power as well as lyrical sensitivity, but in this collection he achieves a unity of emotional strength in and understanding of his material that marks an important stage in his evolution as an artist.

Includes classic songs "Cotton Fields," "God Bless' The Child," and "Hallelujah I Love Her So." It was recorded in New York City in January and March 1958, and in Hollywood, California, in June 1958.

As the liner notes by Nat Hentoff state, there is not much to say about the individual performances that is not entirely clear on hearing them. Truly a classic for discerning audiophiles, Belafonte Sings The Blues was the first Belafonte album recorded in stereo. The sound is incredible, and the dead-silent backgrounds of QRP 200-gram vinyl preserve every exquisite detail! This is one of Belafonte's most satisfying set of performances.
