Harry Belafonte was an unemployed actor in New York and when he went island, borrowed this one, his career took off!!!!
@SocaPhD
This is the original version that won the T&T Road March (Leggo) in 1939. Big up to the late King Radio!
@jimjohnson3515
SocaPhD, we must try to understand WHY the recording industry never took off in Trinidad.. When Trinidad was the Mecca of Kaiso.. The sound of the Harlem Renaissance, Louis Farrakhan, Andrews Sisters etc. etc.. It is why Lyn Taitt ran to Jamaica and let his creatively flow in those recoding studios there, developing Reggae.. Trinidad had NONE....... WHY?
@TUNGTUNGOLIVER
Original ones are always the best ones!!!
@mhb83
Used to sing this song in my music class in elementary school! Woo!

We all know that!! The 1939 Road March Mathilda by King Radio (Norman Span).
@SunnieDae1
I prefer this original version, more ruff and country..than Belafonte, tho' I would never have heard about Norman Span - King Radio otherwise. Blessing and Thanks XX
