Thanks! Is that NYC?  I do see that he did not record in Trinidad for
Decca.

Leah wanted the date to update a webpage for her OTHER job at the
Brooklyn Public Library doing publicity for the displays in the library.
 Right now it only says  c. 1940 by this album.

Is there any truth to the note in it that Belafonte's Calypso was the
first album to sell a million COPIES?
