    What a gift to the world, Mr. Belafonte. You brought the protest songs of Calypso to the world stage and subsequently brought global folk music from diverse geographies, to the world. Such deep personal and emotional intelligence must have inspired you. Thank you. Rest peacefully. You have served well.❤

    "Gold" never tarnishes. I once went to a concert when he sang this song. His talent branded my heart, and I loved this song...and still do. And too, him. He still lives through his music and I Remember.

    A song about getting old. September, autumn, is when we say goodbye to youth forever. You think you're old, but when you enter winter, close to the end of life, it's good to look back at when you were younger.

    I haven't heard this song for so long. It's certainly a pleasure to hear it again after some 25 odd years. Now that I am in the autumn of my life, this song certainly has a lot more meaning. God bless everyone who had the great fortune of growing up with such great singers as Belafonte, Sinatra, Beatles, Elvis, Streisand, ABBA, etc.

    Probably my favorite singer of all time. My late dad had three of his albums in the early 1960’s and I have been listening to him since I was10; I am now 64.
    I do prefer his elegant, restrained style of this period of his life and career. As he aged, and his stardom grew, his stage style became more produced and his voice heavier and raspier. The young Belafonte was one of a kind, and so versatile.

  • @BrotherDan01
    @BrotherDan01 11 лет назад +19

    This is one of the songs deeply engrained in my childhood memories....even though I was born after Belafonte recorded this cover, it was an integral part of my growing up. I'm getting all nostalgic...and obviously, the song's lyrics is only increasing the nostalgia!!

    LYRICS:
    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 grain was yellow
    Try to remember the kind of September
    When you were a tender and 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
    When 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 will hollow
    Deep in December
    It's nice to remember
    The fire of September that made you mellow
    Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
    Follow
