Joe: "...attributed to Malvina Reynolds, Alan Greene (who's he?), and Harry Belafonte."

Alan Greene was a house conductor – composer for the American Negro Theater in Harlem. His was also one of the many couches Harry Belafonte slept on before the 'King of Calypso' hit the big time. Greene would have contributed the arrangements and adaptations necessary for Belafonte's full orchestra recordings and live shows.

Greene also co-wrote Love Is a Gentle Thing with Robert DeCormier (Bob Corman) and was a regular in the pop/ballroom Caribbean genre.

Belafonte's artistic contributions were questionable however, most of the legal problems came not from the mechanical rights but from the publishing. In HB's case that meant Clara Publishing (named after his soon-to-be mother-in-law Clara Robinson) The front man for Clara Pub. was Jesse Stool (aka C.C. Carter)

Clara & Belafonte were sued by just about every commercially savvy songwriter he ever worked with.

Trivia: Alan Greene is also the father of my grand-nephew's physics professor, Brian Greene... small world huh?
