Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall

Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall is a live double album by Harry Belafonte. It is the second of two Belafonte Carnegie Hall albums, and was recorded May 2, 1960. It peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Pop albums charts.

Belafonte shares the stage in this live recording with The Belafonte Folk Singers, Odetta, The Chad Mitchell Trio and Miriam Makeba.

Billboard put it in its "Spotlight Winner's of the Week", writing "This second Belafonte Carnegie set has the added lure of two of the top current names on the folk scene in Odessa and Makeba, and even tho each gets only two chances in the set, these outings are gems. Belafonte himself is featured with both upon occasion as well as with his own group. Chad Mitchell's folk group also impresses. A lot of excitement here-for listeners and dealers, in a solid two-LP set."

The RCA Victor compact disc reissue (09026-62690-2) of this album contains alternate performances of the songs "Jump Down, Spin Around", "Hené Ma Tov", "I Know Where I'm Going" and "La Bamba".
