Harry Belafonte - Love Is A Gentle Thing (1959/2016) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz]

"Love Is a Gentle Thing" is an album by Harry Belafonte, released by RCA Victor in 1959. It was recorded with arranger / conductors Alan Greene and Bob Corman. The featuring a set of folk-themed songs. Billboard magazine chose Love Is a Gentle Thing as one of their "Spotlight Winners of the Week" in March 1959, and wrote that "Belafonte displays his usual tender, feelingful vocal style on a group of expressive folk themes with varying moods".

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.
