Mary's Boy Child

Harry Belafonte
This beautiful song was written by Jester Hairston in 1956.  It was first recorded by Harry Belafonte for his album, "An Evening With Belafonte".  The song reached number 1 on the UK charts in 1957.

The song is one of my favorites.  Belafonte's voice is perfectly suited for the melody.

    Clint, that's Beautiful!
    I had never heard Belafonte sing that (at least I don't remember hearing it ??)
    Thank you for posting it.
    A very Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and Cindy.
