The King of Calypso Harry Belafonte achieved his last significant sales success for new material with Streets I Have Walked. The album contains tunes from around the globe and some have viewed it as a prototype for today's world music. (US:30)

"This is another of Belafonte's attempts to musically circumnavigate the globe, performing songs from a variety of world cultures."

"The album is geared more toward children than Belafonte's previous efforts. Included are such favourites as Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land and the Australian classic Waltzing Matilda."

"Belafonte delivers a set of songs from around the world and makes them all belong together."

"I love Belafonte's music. It is an inspiration to hear him."
