That's a lovely and sincere tribute you wrote Hartwig.

Well said!
My dad was a Greek immigrant who happened to be working as a cook at the hotel Harry was staying in when touring here in Australia in the 60s, and who also happened to be a big fan of Harry's.
He asked one of the bellboys who was about to deliver the food my dad prepared for Harry, if he'd pass on the message that his cook was big fan of his, not expecting much to come of it.
Not long after, the bellboy returns and says that Harry wanted to thank my dad for his kind words. He then hands my dad a picture and a tour book both personally signed by Harry. He then tops it off up saying that Harry would like him to have these 2 tickets for his show as a thank you.
My dad passed away many years ago but I always remember the smile on his face when sharing this particular story with me, showing me the tour book and photos, and it made me fond of Harry since, and made me appreciate what a genuinely good hearted person he must have been.
Woah! That’s some memory indeed!
I was riding in the subway in NY in about 1960 and saw the most handsome man I had ever seen- I didn’t want to stare at him and just smiled and he smiled back. It was a special moment for me. Later I bought his albums and saw him in concert many times. Wonderful singer and entertainer and civil rights activist!
Great great politics......very compassionate for the underdog!
I heartily agree that Harry Belafonte is one of the most beautiful men of the last century. 😍
I performed in a concert with him! He was so handsome and was so friendly and such a gentleman! ❤
How wonderful
how lucky 🤗🤗💖💖
Both Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte helped to bring pride to the Caribbean Islands and put us on the map of many hearts.💝💝
Both are unforgettable legends and an inspiration to everybody with dreams to fulfil...!
You left out the King of Reggae
Ow abou da Mighty Sparrow😃😎👃
So true!❤
@@juniorreid9583 Yes definitely Bob Marley has done the same.
Rest in peace, Harry. Your music lives on in our hearts 💕

“I hope the day will never come when I cannot awake to the sound of drum” For Harry sadly that day has come but what a legacy he leaves us. A life filled with song that achieved so much for marginalised people everywhere. Rest in peace good friend and may your music and compassion for people live on for ever.

Take me back to my youth. Brings love and pride to the Caribbean.
Hello how are you doing today 😊
My mother and I were lucky enough to attend his concert in Vancouver on his 60th birthday. We had front row seats about 10 feet from him. He was the sexiest man alive at that time. Haven’t seen him for many years but he likely still is. It was the best concert of my life.
He,s sadly left the village Sherry at the tender age of 96
Harry Bellefonte was and still is a Gift from God. RIP-- I LISTEN TO HIS BUETIFUL VOICE EVERY DAY!! LOL --JUDY THORNHILL 4:31 ❤❤❤THORNHILL

Harry était très beau pas que physiquement..Tout en lui était du diamant par ses
You‘re so right,Clara,that is just what i wanted to say!
And let me say in german...
Persönlichkeiten/Charaktere wie Harry Belafonte sind so rar geworden in diesen Zeiten,wo sie nötiger gebraucht werden als jemals zuvor...daher bin ich sehr 😔!
My friend and I went to see Harry in concert at the SF Opera House in 1956. Our tickets were for the very last row of the top of the house. We were 15. We took our dads' heavy old binoculars and I could see the weaving in the rug on the stage floor. I could see the rivulets of sweat running down his face. I hear this particular song way differently than I did back then.
Now I hear it as a song of sovereignty, sung by a strong Jamaican. The words are quite beautiful. I learned them then, but had no idea what the song was really about. I thank this great man for all he has done to stand for justice wherever he is.
Jesus what a story
Very nostalgic. In my eighties now, but it turns back the clock to my youth. Wonderful.
YOU ARE missed,not forgot. Send sme good vibes from heaven . Love and hugs!-to all, Karita.
All my life I have been listening to this song on the radio. As a child I loved this song and even now this song warms my soul. A good singer is now gone.

Takes me back to childhood days ...heard this song played and sung many times at home. My father loved this song and Harry Belafonte.
And me too ! Now, I'm 70 years old and I feel young when I am listening Harry Belafonte !
And me, I'm 65 :)
Same, but our favorite was "Little Bird" from his album "Homeward Bound".
@@MikeC32958nah I checked
Ein Mann mit einer unbeschreiblichen Aura.
Seine Herkunft hat Harry Belafonte nie vergessen.
Seine Talente setzte er auch für die Schwachen ein und kämpfte für Gerechigkeit.
DANKE Mr. BELAFONTE diese Welt bräuchte solche Menschen mehr als der Himmel.
Ich bin traurig.😢
I was lucky to be introduced to Harry Bellafonte and the magic of Calypso music as a young kid growing up in a small, sleepy town in the North East Indian state of Assam in the late '60s, thanks to a L. P. vinyl record belonging to my maternal uncle. Respects and regards.
Born in 1958 in Calgary Canada, grew up with a father who loved Harry. My favourite Christmas song is sung by him, as well.
Congrats from Argentina!!🇦🇷
Beautiful Deepak.
Very nice.
Who could not love this man? What a beautiful voice and he just looks so nice.
My Father loved Harry Belafontes Music , l remember him giving me the money to go to the store to buy the 45
Record that was so popular, we were all born in Ireland but grew up in England, he was loved in Ireland also,☘️
Island in the Sun was being sung everywhere & still is, thank you for all your work for Human Rights, here in the US as well.
+Rest in Peace you were something very special.

Jim Reeves & Harry Belafonte are the only two solo singers, whom I enjoy listening to almost every day. RIP Harry. You'll be remembered even by the future generations.

Love this song sung by Harry Belafonte. I’m in UK 2022
I grew up listening to my mother's double album of Belafonte at Carnegie hall..
Grew up listening to Jamaica farewell , man smarter.. Come back Lisa. From the age of 8..
Im 63 and I still love him madly..
What a stunner he was..
He was all that and much, much more.
R.I.P. Mr. Belafonte.
Always one of my favourites.Many years ago I was given a Harry Bellafonte cassette with his most famous songs.I played it on my cassette player constantly and guess what _I am still playing it on the same cassette player to this day...Oh happy days!
Such a priceless memory to possess🌹
Das Lied ist traumhaft, der Harry Belafonte mein Idol seit 40 Jahren, Super super
May he rest in peace. He has left such a legacy for us to remember him by.
My parents had his albums.
I was a very young girl then.
So I grew up with Sir Belafonte.
Unforgetable....such a beautiful warm voice.
Wonderful and strong man.
I'll never forget him.
Thanks for all the years,Sir.
Love and greets to you and your family, from Amsterdam (NL)
GREAT BEAUTIFUL LEGEND OF LOVE TO HUMANITY RIP
He is absolutely a great singer,and very handsome 💖💖💖👍‼️‼️
Wow just for a few minutes I am back there I’m young again , dancing around the room listening to Harry’s voice on a vinyl record on my Dansette player💕
Continue to enjoy yourself☀️🎵❤️☺️☀️🌹
I'll miss you, Mister Belafonte. Nelson Mandela died 2 days after my son passed away (aged 15). Now, you all are together. You're the kind of people I can't forget. See you in 2060?
I'm very sad of passing of Harry may Lord rest his soul in peace.
As a West Indian Harry Belafonte's lyrics bring the formative years of my life in the Caribbean into my mind.
I always loved him, not only his voice . A wonderful man, RIP HARRY.
Once my time has come I meet you there , you sing for me and I sit there with my mouth wide open.
You do know he's still alive, right?! 95 years, and still with us!

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
As morning breaks
The heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
❤
Erinnerungen 💜 sind das einzige Paradies 💜 aus dem wir nicht Vertrieben werden können 💜 Danke
Oh another one I loved so much during my primary school days ❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace sir ... your music lives on. ❤

Wen home to Jamaica for a visit since 1998 and I felt I was inlove wks before I left the USA. And been home was the happiest of my life and I still have that feeling of love for our land and our people, our island in the sun.
I love Harry Belafonte❤️
I listened to his songs every Fradaay night from Top Twenty of FEN radio station of the US Armed Forces in Japan. I think it was late 1950s to 1960s. I still remember his songs like Banana Boat and others. It was some little more than 65 years ago.
Love this..one of my faves...
What a joy his music is - timeless.
Hello how are you doing
Takes me back to teenage years and the way we danced to all his songs. Wonderful memories
I loved this song the very first time I heard it and I'm still loving it that much so many years after. How handsome Harry was, furthermore ! 😻

A voice like velvet❤ The world will miss you❤Thank you for your music❤
Beautiful music ! Harry put the Caribbean on the map for many of us and inspired a lot of insight into its history and music. Pure easy listening !
Beautiful song and music, rip my favorite singer and intertainer❤
Mr. Belafonte is one of my favorite human beings ever! He is one of the great humanitarians and worked to make people's lives better - not advance his celebrity like others.
Another great Harry Belefonte!!
During the 50’s my teen sister had a huge crush on him for his talent, looks and strength. I was around 11 and loved his songs. My mom took us to see him at the Los Angeles Greek Theater. I was mesmerized the whole evening…I was not alone in the department! He was a joy to hear and see and that memory has stay with me for 65+ years. As I grew to adulthood other music captured my attention but I grew to admire and be inspired by his integrity, his fight for human rights and the joy he brought to others. A long life well lived.
I’m 76yrs this was my first music I heard. It was my parents favorite
Hello Karen
How are you doing today?
We love you King ❤then, now and forever 🌹... always 💯
