I always thought this gentleman is so gentleman, and made a gentle music. You will be remembered forever. RIP Mr. Bolafonte, from a peruvian who loves your music.
HARRY BELAFONTE LEGEND FOREVER. There's no more musicians like him these days, nor souls like HE was. What a shiny MEN humanity has had. HE was the last ANGEL walking on this planet. YOU will be missed dearly all around the world and never forgotten . THANK YOU HARRY BELAFONTE FOR EVERYTHING YO GAVE TO THE WORLD. My heart is broken. Rest in heaven with Angels beautiful soul. 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤❤❤💔💔💔🌿🕊
A great Human Being has left us, but his music and legacy and all that he stood for will live on in the hearts and minds of people everywhere!! Love you Harry Belafonte. You will be greatly missed!! Rest in Peace!!❤❤
Rest in the greatest peace, Sir. The greatest peace, the love you have given to the musical world, to the world at large. I will never forget the touch of your hand, Sir, nor the words you leaned to whisper in my ear.
Your energy is communicated through this beautiful music Harry...How could anyone not have a smile in their heart while hearing music like this...I tell ya this music is timeless and can still send you to this place...
I remember seeing him in Portland, Oregon in early 60's. He walked on stage, wearing a bright red shirt, open about 3 buttons and tight blue jeans. He walked to center stage, leaned on one hip, arms crossed and just stood there. Didn't need to say a word. The audience was on its feet, screaming and applauding for somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes. One of the greatest concerts I had seen up to that time. He was pure magic. I never saw an entertainer with that kind of magnetism until I saw Roberto Carlos of Brazil in 2012. Men like Belafonte only come along once in three or four generations. I still stop and listen when he speaks for civil rights.
What a man and voice! Really 70??? Cannot believe it. Missing such brilliant entertainer today! May he become 100 ! ❤️him as singer and activist❤️ Greetings from Germany🌹🍀
Harry your voice, art of expression which comes in from your soul proves .................you are our Ambassador and the best!! I unite with you from a far away land named India, Calcutta now Kolkata, the place from where late Tagore, poet, lyricist did lighten the world as you go on doing. Kolkata adores you from the bottom of our hearts. Harry, we wait eagerly to hear you more and more songs about us the global common citizens.........like of Kolkata.
Very beautiful song that I'd like to hear it everyday. It is so timeless. It makes me think of my Jamaican friend from the university so long time ago. Hope Joseph is doing very well in Kingston now.
I saw this concert on TV many years ago and was blown away. Up until then Belafonte was the music my parents listen to. Great band also. Thanx for posting video.
We live in an era of "disposable" music. Harry B. is a genuine original. The real deal. This is timeless music....and this version is positively magical :D
With father and uncle who were connoisseurs of Western music, I grew up along with this song and it always touches a deep chord within my soul. This particular performance is a wonderful experience of going back in the time machine. Did you notice how he carried the audience along with him and made the singers, male and female audience sing along with him. Harry Belafonte, you are an all time great. Hats off to you.
Dieser Song begleitet mich seit ich ihn mit 12 jahren das erste mal gehört habe. In jeder version ist es eine Offenbarung. Harry Belafonte war einer der Großen!!!!!
Hij heeft klasse en een geweldige stem. Mooie uitstraling, nog steeds. Island in the Sun is mijn lievelingssong. Mooie herinneringen aan de Carribean. Veel gedraaid dit lied toen ik daar was. Deze Mensen zullen hun Island in the Sun nóóit verlaten. Build by their fathers, dit Lied zegt hier alles over 🥰
I shall always be in awe of this wonderful man. In the film that he acted with Tony Curtis, Tony insisted that Harry had the same prominence on the billing. Harry has done so much for equal rights, as a white man I am proud to have known his lovely voice!
What an amazing legacy this man will be leaving us all! He had the insight to try performing island songs in the mainland of the U.S. and was rewarded with a major career. He had the sense of justice to work for good causes and to give lots of his acquired wealth to charities. "Blessed are those who seek justice. They will be satisfied."
RIP, the King of Calypso, Harry Belafonte (1927-2023). Award winning singer and actor; key strategist, activist, fundraiser and mediator for the American civil rights movement. You have left indelible footprints on the sands of time.
Just found this today....wow.... funny how you forget how much Mr. Belafonte's music makes you feel so good. Wonderful to have this available. Thank you Mr. Belafonte for the gifts of your music and hard work. Merci!
Simple yet exceptionally melodious composition makes this song so much popular world wide. I have heard this song umpteen times and would still love to hear again and again. It creates a melancholic soothing effect resulting in a feeling of sublime happiness. A big salute to Mr Harry Belafonte from Kolkata, INDIA.
Our deepest Condolences to his family members and may he sleep well in heavenly Paradise 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 A Legendary Performer and activist who will greatly missed and Loved. Thank you for sharing your talents around the world 🌍🌍🌍🌍💖💖💖

Greatest of the Greats !
Your stage presence is wonderful. God bless you
Never saw a VHS of this when we were young but remember Dad performing this at home all the time
Those prime years,when a music show didn't cost a lot of energy,jumping and making a lot of noise but rather pure talent,passion and confidence.
This generation don't appreciate those of our children coming up with the passion and love for good music . All they want to hear is noise. 😔
❤Harry Belafonte a really good human
Love u Mr Harry u did your job u walked with Martin Luther king u u was an advocate singer actor u did well take your rest
This Song always reminds me of Raila Odinga Kenya's best president whom we have never had...much ❤️
Love all your performances and recordings!
Toller Mann, tolle Musik.... schade das auch Du uns verlassen hast 🙈😘
