Harry Belafonte - Try to Remember, recorded live in the early 1980s. This song was first featured on the studio album "The Many Moods of Belafonte" (1962). #harrybelafonte #belafonte
May the memory of Mr Belafonte be a blessing, a reminder that great celebrity can leverage great social progress, He marched for all of us, he sang for the angels. By the way, in his closing offering of credits at the end of the song he answers the mystery question--who IS that man singing with Belafonte?--he tells us it is Arthur Williams, and goes on to give props to others in this performance. Always giving credit, never taking any for himself.
A very great man.Compassionate about people, and life..An entertainer, of immense depth,wisdom and wit.! My heart struck sorrow , upon reading of his passing..But after my weeping as I listened to scarlet ribbons for her hair.And Matilda.I realized he has merely gone to another booking..Rest in Peace as the Angels faithfully attend you Harry..Thank's for all the songs...!
2 days too late: Happy BIRTHDAY; dear MISTER HARRY BELLAFONTE. To me you always will be the GREATEST ARTIST and ACTIVIIST. All the best wishes from an old German fan of yours🌹🍀❤️
I had the honour to visit a consert with mr Belafonte in Stockholm never forget it i have admire him all my life.A really great man left the world but we will always remember him.❤❤❤
Our father died last Tuesday 😢 we have great memories of this song as children our parents danced.. We listened to this beautiful song at my father's funeral... ❤
It is true. This was and will be real song and music. My dad used to sing his songs when I was a child. And one day I can also meet this man in heaven!
Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember The kind of September When grass was green And the grain was yellow Try to remember The kind of September When you were young And the callow fellow Try to remember And if you remember Then follow follow Try to remember When life was so tender When noone wept Except the willow Try to remember When life was so tender And dreams were kept Beside your pillow Try to remember When life was so tender When love was an ember About to billow Try to remember And if you remember Then follow Follow Deep in December It's nice to remember Although you know The snow will follow Deep in December It's nice to remember Without a hurt, The heart is hollow Deep in December It's nice to remember The fire of September That made us mellow Deep in December Our hearts should remember And follow Follow
We knew about you, but we didn't know you were such a Legend until after your death. As Marcia Griffiths, I believe, once said "send me Roses while I am alive, don't wait until I am dead". What a great man! So well accomplished and to learn he was cousin to my husband's Mom. RIP Harry. I don't think you will ever be forgotton.
Harry you open your mouth on any song and I just cry.God is not just the best of the best , but He is uncomfortable.yo! Ramaphoko madala (Gakgapane a Limpopo south Africa.

Îmi amintesc cu drag cum adormeam, copil fiind doar când ascultam melodia pe Magnetofon sau Casetofon. O muzică sensibilä,o voce inegalabilä.,ptr generatia mea.

A golden voice is resting now. Rest in heavenly Peace. This was my mums and grandfathers favorite song. And my heart travels in loss and memory.

Les chanteurs noirs avec leur rap vulgaire et violent devraient s’inspirer de lui !
Quel homme !

Try to remember
the kind of September
When life was slow
and oh so mellow
Try to remember
The kind of September
When grass was green
And the grain was yellow
Try to remember
The kind of September
When you were young
And the callow fellow
Try to remember
And if you remember
Then follow
follow
Try to remember
When life was so tender
When noone wept
Except the willow
Try to remember
When life was so tender
And dreams were kept
Beside your pillow
Try to remember
When life was so tender
When love was an ember
About to billow
Try to remember
And if you remember
Then follow
Follow
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
Although you know
The snow will follow
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
Without a hurt,
The heart is hollow
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
The fire of September
That made us mellow
Deep in December
Our hearts should remember
And follow
Follow
❤
Thank you so much.
Harry sings love ..........💕
