|
Calypso Carnival Medley: (with Ella Mitchell & Sivuca) |
||||
| (Olga, Hold 'Em Joe, Cocoanut Woman, Man Smart, Zombie Jamboree, | ||||
| Judy Drownded, Auntie Mary, Olga) | ||||
| Notes: | Drawn from a six-city cross-Canada tour during the summer of 1974. | |||
| Numbers from the latter part of the show are missing from the list. | ||||
| It is worth noting that the medley uses "Olga" as theme and not the traditional | ||||
| "Don't Stop The Carnival." Also, "Auntie Mary" is non-abbreviated. | ||||
| An unexpected and humorous twist: | ||||
| During Goin' Down Jordan, a song about salvation, Harry jumped into | ||||
| the audience to tease a few "sinners." He happened upon two nuns from | ||||
| Toronto's Loretta Abbey High School who only revealed their identifies | ||||
| following a prolonged ribbing session. Needless to say it broke up Belafonte | ||||
| and brought down the house. | ||||
