The Essential Harry Belafonte is a two-disc compilation recording by Harry Belafonte, issued in 2005. The 37 tracks span Belafonte's career from 1952 to 1977, on RCA Victor and a few later tracks released by Columbia Records. All recordings for inclusion were selected by Belafonte himself. AllMusic stated: "Harry Belafonte's influence on pop music is much more far reaching then many realize, as he was one of the first performers to bring worldbeat rhythms to the U.S. charts in the postwar era... Innovative, intelligent, and unceasingly creative, Belafonte is long overdue for a critical reappraisal."
