I agree re Harry. I was convinced I'd marry him when I grew up. I was about 5 years old at the time. 🙂 I've always thought he was a handsome man. And Sidney Poitier.

You’re right! Specially when Danny Kaye was of Hebrew descent and Hava Nagila is an Hebrew song. But I loved it when in a joking manner Harry pointed to Danny “wrong country”, as Danny was doing the pharaohs’ dance, moving just the head from side to side. Pharaohs we’re from Egypt, whom kept the Israelites enslaved. Just in that phrase Harry showed so much culture and knowledge of music and dance. I’ve always admired these two legends. And man, was Harry oh so handsome and classy!
@@marjaanderton5277 oh very interesting i didn't know.. now i read his father was a Dutch-Jewish of Sephardic Jewish descent .. but it's strange, Bellenfonti truly doesnt sound dutch:)
Sure G*D saved his soul when he reversed back to Judaïsm. Many jews are spiritualy enprisoned in islamic countries for they can't tell they are jews and feel free to practice there faith. It goes the same for christians and any other faith but islam.
@@dianebrown2843 Danny Kaye had a nice show back in the '60s headed to verse group of performers and singers which is a nice thing you don't get it that much back then I get I suppose. So I like his diversity and his involvement with singing along other people's ethnic music which is nice.
I came across Kaye once when I was a kid, at Heathrow airport. He was standing around in a departure lounge, as were we, with an assistant of some description. He had a magazine in his hand and every 20 seconds or so he would drop it and the assistant would pick it up. This went on for about 10 minutes until some compassionate member of the public beat the assistant to it, picked up the magazine himself and smacked Kaye hard over the head with it, then shoved it his chest. He didnt drop it again. Nice Mr Kaye.
I love this song! I am not Jewish but I sing it to my 6 month old granddaughter. She smiles the whole time 😍 Hearing Danny Kaye and Harry Belafonte sing it is awesome!
Back in the 70’s I spent a summer in Israel. I’m Catholic, not Jewish but I spent a few weeks on a kibbutz. At that time we were the last Jewish settlement on the Gaza Strip. On Saturday nights, after Shabbat, there was always a party with dancing and singing. This song was always sung.
Great music transcends language , cultures , regions and time. And great artistes performing these immortal compositions is a gift to all of us . Indeed one does not have to be Jewish to appreciate this beautiful masterpiece.
I used to love "The Danny Kaye" TV Variety show back in my teens. Recently passed, Harry Belafonte, will be missed. Both of these men were socially aware, this duet is brilliant !
When I was 17, I bought Harry Belafonte’s album when he sung at Carnegie Hall in NYC. It was called “Calypso” music from Jamaica, at the time. He sang songs....most beautifully, from various countries, i.e., Hava Nagila; Danny Boy, etc. Harry Belafonte owned a house in Malba, Queens, NY., an exclusive housing area. Us, teen buddies, would drive there, not far from our Whitestone residents, & pass his house shouting, “Harry, Harry, Harry!” Memories of Queens. 💖 God bless you, Harry, whenever you are! 🙏🏼
Harry Belafonte was so elegant! He did masses of charitable work and never told a soul. Only at his death was it made public. Added to that, he was an incredible performer! SO was Danny Kaye.
I learned this song from Ted Hook at the Rathskeller Bar Dwn Chattanooga cast party for the Junior League Follies 1967. Ed Shalett Orchestra. Tivoli Theatre when Chattanooga had Class
Our teacher taught us this song and also a dance for it when I was in the 5th grade in 1971 on Long Island, so that was 50 years ago and I have no idea how but I still remember the words though I sang it as it sounded to me so not perfect and I still sing it sometimes because it puts me in a good mood:)
I am from the city of Constantine, Algeria, and I really like this song, and every time I hear it, it reminds me of Cheikh Raymond.Raymond Raoul Leiris was born on July 27, 1912 in Constantine and was assassinated on June 22, 1961. in Constantine. He is an Arabic-speaking singer and Jewish oud player from Algeria. Teacher of Arab-Andalusian music, Jewish who sings. In Arabic1, he is respected by the Jews and Muslims of Algeria who nicknamed “Sheikh Raymond.” since the mid-1930s as a sign of respect.
I fell in love with Danny Kaye as a child and with Belafonte as a teen. I remember Kaye's TV show, though not this performance, so what joy to experience it again!
Ivonne, i'm from The Netherlands too. This combination is brilliant. I have always been a fan of Danny Kaye and Harry Belafonte. They did both a lot of good work and not only in the entertaiment business.
The music is universal "Hava nagila" more than a song, a mantra... Song interpreted by two immense artists, one of Ukrainian origin, and the other Caribbean, little important...they are "one" Immense artists !
Thank you crazy internet that brought this cool piece to my CZcams!! We had to learn to dance this in high school, part of cultural dance in PE. Pretty cool
HARRY BELAFONTE AND DANNY KAYE WORKED SO WELL TOGETHER. THEIR VOICES BLENDED INTO ONE. I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE GROWN UP IN THAT GENERATION. HALLELUJAH.
I first saw Harry Belafonte n tv when I was a little girl in the 1950's, and loved his singing from that first moment on (still do). I can't remember when I first saw Danny Kaye, but it had to be in the early 1960's, Mom and Dad being big fans of his. I became one, too, and even though any decades have passed, I still enjoy Mr. Belafonte's voice and songs, and Mr. Kaye's fantastic sense of humor. Two great entertainers of their time together for a song---makes my heart happy!
Would love Israelis and Palestinians to join together in peace and sing this song. Pray for peace.
Now my heart is singing! I am a Christian and live in South Africa. The language of music is universal. Shalom.

The most gorgeous song. I am not Jewish, but wow..I love Hava Nagilla

Danny was a genius, I laughed so much at his films as a child growing up. And I always thought Harry was the handsomest man ever from top to toe!

Harry Belafonte took care to not overtake another's singing talent. He was very kind.

Harry Belafonte was also of Jewish descent, the Dutch Belinfante family.

Two of my all time favorites. Who knew that their voices would meld so beautifully.
Belafonte was one of the most elegant actor. Danny Kay was a multitalented actor, singer, comedian, musician.
Harry is not dead you wrote he was one of elegant,, he's still around

Wonderful to see & hear these two brilliant, multi talented singers, performers & wonderful talented artists together … 🥰🎶🎤💞❤️💖🌻🌈💕
You can't just look at those singers and not want to smile as they seem to enjoy their duet immensely, as well as the lovely song.
I remember them playing it at all the Greek weddings l e gone to. It's a real get up and dance your heart out song. 😊😊😊😊❤🎉
Their Hebrew is so much better than mine! I never tire of the wonderful rhythms of the song and the dance. Danny Kaye was nothing short of brilliant!
Wir durften dieses Lied im Musikunterricht lernen, wir haben es sehr gerne gesungen. Bis heute kann ich noch alle Strophen.
I had the privilege of knowing him a little, cooking with him, enjoying his hospitality at his house. He was special indeed!
Would you be referring to Danny or Harry?

I am not Jewish either but this is one of my favorite songs from my childhood.
Also not Jewish but also hijacked this and most of the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack when kids were smol. They love the happy melodies
I’m also not Jewish but I do sing this with my 2 year old daughter. It’s one of her favourite songs.
aw Danny Kaye ❤
Two wonderfull singuers and actors. Nowdays we don't have a kind of artists. ❤❤❤❤
