Unlike other pop vocalists, Harry Belafonte considered each album as an individual work with a central theme, not just another collection of standards. Despite his continuous exploration of folk music idioms, Belafonte has been consistently placed in the &popular male vocal& section of record stores. This album contains a selection of ballads, lullabies, and love songs. It leads off with the tender &Fifteen,& which was inexplicably shoe-horned into the MGM film, The World, The Flesh, And The Devil which starred Belafonte as a survivor of a nuclear holocaust. Of the tunes included in the album, the best of which are the Weavers' Lee Hays' &Times Are Gettin' Hard& and John Jacob Niles' &Go 'Way From My Window.& But the lack of variety makes this album somewhat of a bore when compared to some of the more exciting Belafonte product of the 50s and early 60s.
