GUEST,Phil d'Conch Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks (149* d) RE: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks 19 Sep 17


The Tarriers (Erik Darling, Bob Carey, Alan Arkin line-up) sang the Haitian folk song Chaucoun (or Choucoune) and The Banana Boat Song in Calypso Heat Wave (1957.) Belafonte & Burgie were inspired apparently.

Lots of familiar, non-folkie faces there too. Maya Angelou in her modern calypso era with an original All That Happens in the Market Place.

And, it seems Janet Jackson still doesn't know her middle name is after Creole-American actress, comedian & singer Damita Jo DeBlanc, from Austin, Tejas no less. She (Damita Jo that is) sings Day Old Bread Canned Beans with and by Claude Trenier & Don Hill.
