The Harry Belafonte cover is credited to "Rita Greene," the wife if Belafonte's conductor Alan Greene* and "C.C.Carter" President & General Manager of Belafonte's menagerie of publishing companies. That/they should be taken with a boatload of salt.

Harry Belafonte's predecessor and tune source in the Manhattan style of copyright chicanery was Trinidadian Samuel L. "Sam" Manning (1898-1960).

This song, Iron Bar; Sly Mongoose; Hold 'Im Joe, the list goes on.
