Turn the World Around is an album by American singer Harry Belafonte, released in 1977.

After a series of pop-oriented albums, Turn the World Around was a return to interpreting folk songs of other cultures.

Gary Ginell stated in his AllMusic review: "It is an absolute triumph and one of the finest albums of his career."

The title track became the focus of one of the most acclaimed performances on the successful television series The Muppet Show, where Belafonte explained the artistic theme of the song before performing it with specially designed Muppets that resembled African tribal masks: I discovered that song in Africa.

Because, if we do, together we can turn the world around.Series producer Jim Henson considered this production to be his best work on the series, and featured it in numerous retrospectives of his art; Belafonte performed the song again at Henson's memorial service in 1990.
