Island in the Sun" is a song written by Harry Belafonte and Irving Burgie (Lord Burgess), and performed by Harry Belafonte for the 1957 film Island in the Sun and on his 1957 album Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean. In 1962, the song was performed by The Brothers Four on the album In Concert. The song has also been performed by The Merrymen, José Carreras, The Paragons, Caterina Valente (in German as "Wo Meine Sonne Scheint ") and The Righteous Brothers.

Harry Belafonte's catalog is decidedly more derivative of American and international folk (aka, world) music, or even jazz, than of calypso, which was in fact an opaque term loosely referring to all music from the West Indies.
