Mitchum, Robert

Calypso Is Like So...

Influenced by the Calypso craze that was started by Harry Belafonte, the debut-LP as a singer by actor Robert Mitchum tackles Mighty Sparrow's 'Jean And Dinah,' King Radio's 'Not Me,' Wilmouth Houdini's 'Coconut Water' and other Trinidadian anthems with considerable aplomb, infusing his delivery with a faux Caribbean lilt that flatters rather than mocks. A few Don Rae adaptations broaden the palette of the peculiarly appealing record. The LP was originally released in 1957. Comes with obi.
