{"value"=>"<p>Series V holds lyrics and notated music for songs primarily recorded and performed by Belafonte from the 1940s to the 1990s. Songs are chiefly represented by lyrics, but also include sheet music, full scores, and parts. In many cases, there is only one set of lyrics or sheet music for a song. The series is arranged into three sections: songs by title; songs by composer or artist; and subject files. Files in each section are arranged alphabetically. Songs whose titles begin with A and B are heavily represented in this series; these titles were originally grouped together with a note indicating that many C through Z titles were lost in a flood.</p> <p>The majority of songs documented in this series were recorded or performed in concert, on television, or on film by Belafonte. His signature song, \"Day-O (Banana Boat Song),\" is represented by printed lyrics and published sheet music. Other well-known songs are included, such as \"Island in the Sun,\" \"Jamaica Farewell,\" \"Man Smart, Woman Smarter,\" \"Matilda,\" and \"Turn the World Around.\" There is also a lead sheet for \"We Are the World.\" Often, there are multiple versions of lyrics and music for a given song that originate from different projects, usually recording sessions or tours.</p> <p>Additionally, the series contains lyrics and sheet music for songs performed by musicians in Belafonte's orbit, namely the Belafonte Folk Singers, Miriam Makeba, Letta Mbulu, Nana Mouskouri, and Floyd Westerman. Songwriters prominently featured in the series include Fitzroy Alexander, Irving Burgie, William Eaton, and Jake Holmes.</p> <p>Other highlights of Series V include conductor scores for \"Lean on Me'' and \"Recognition\" (Belafonte's debut single), as well as full scores for \"Betty 'n' Dupree,\" \"Cycles,\" \"How Long Have You Been Blind,\" and \"Try to Remember.\" There is also a set of lyrics and sheet music for <span class=\"title\">The Long Road to Freedom</span> project, which is located in the subject files.</p>"}
