Lyrics:
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

RIP to this amazing man. Harry Belafonte was not only a phenomenal singer & actor but an incredible human being who fought for civil rights & justice. His philanthropic work was another layer to this great man. He'll be missed but never forgotten.

[@Octo990]

He will live through his music and therefore his legacy

"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...".
Lyrics:
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 earthly low
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
Solo
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water-side
Casting nets at the surfing 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......

ISLAND IN THE SUN
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 earthly low
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 water-side
Casting nets at the surfing 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

Wheres the 4 funny white people that go "hip hip"

[@remoapeter]

So far the recording with the least distortion. How has it been improved?

[@shonebiswana4423]

Why is this on the Muppets Christmas Carol soundtrack? 😂

[@holdencaufield7485]

Because of the mice (rats?) in Scrooge's office singing it.
When Kermit asks for some more coal, Scrooce threatens to fire them all and the mice respond by pretending to be all warm with wearing hawaii-shirts and singing "Island In The Sun".
The fact that you missed that, prooves how full of gags this underrated gem of a movie is.

[@TheDisney1901]

If you'd please Mr. Scrooge, it's gotten colder and the bookkeeping staff would like to have an extra shovel full of coal for the fire.
