This is believed to be the first known recording of the traditional Jamaican folk/work song. Included in the LP “Songs From Jamaica” by Trinidadian singer Connor, this may not be all that close of a match to either the Harry Belafonte “Banana Boat (Day-O)” treatment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5BoECIz9gw or the more singable Tarriers best-seller “The Banana Boat Song” with its descending ‘Day-O, Day-O’ chorus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8zCxITc8ig , but you can hear that both of those 1956-57 hits borrowed elements from this arrangement. Some sources suggest that the album was recorded in 1952 rather than 1954. The original LP track was issued on (UK) Argo RG 33 - Day Dah Light by Edric Connor with The Caribbeans For hundreds of other ‘originals,’ please visit the fascinating playlist “FIRST RECORDING OF THE SONG…” (click here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx8kU_D2e4voMCx9SQkXFeSH7CnRO9j7x ) . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The three* MusicProf channels are home to The HITS ARCHIVES, YouTube’s most comprehensive collection of U.S. ‘popular music’ recordings from 1925 thru 1975.
