Thank lord for giving us all the blessings of hearing this wonderful man. Who is now with you. We will some day all meet up again with you and the people we all loved in our lives.😊❤❤
I listened to Harry Belefonte back in the 1950's with my father. He was a Merchant Sailor, who brought the love of music of the World home to his family. When I (still) listen to Harry Belefonte's songs, I remember the happy days when I would listen with my father to the songs of Jamaica.
Paul your reply to Claudia Bothner is equally ridiculous. A face to face conversation with this man who represents the best of humanity as you think would be a fantastic experience.
You and your songs will never be forgotten, my country man, you were always love and dear to our family. As a young girl grown up in Jamaica West Indies, there was a slot on Radio Jamaica 🇯🇲 at 7:55 am, every morning known as Calypso Corner we never miss a morning when we know your song will be playing. Oh my country man you always make us proud. I was blessed to have the opportunity to watch you on Television when you took your children to Jamaica so that they could tour the Island of your mother and Father’s country. I am mourning your departure but you have left an excellent legacy behind that no one can replace. Although you have departed this world before me, I will always remember that we are “The World.” My sincere condolences to your wife, children, other family members, and friends. You have opened the doors for our race, those after you will pick up from where you left. All Jamaicans are mourning your loss, you put our country on the World’s Map we will never forget you. Jamaica 🇯🇲 will always be your “Island In The Sun.”Rest In Peace my brother.
@Hyacinth Reynolds: So beautifully said!! I’ve been a fan of his since I was 12 and always wanted to see Jamaica. In my 20’s, I finally did. Since then, I’ve been to other Caribbean islands but always claim Jamaica is one of the prettiest due to its varied topography … the beaches, of course, but also the mountains, jungle, rivers and waterfalls. We drove past Duncan which our driver claimed was the home of Harry Belafonte. I saw him perform whenever he came to Toronto. I even ended up getting his autograph because we both went to the same Chinese restaurant following one of his performances and luckily, my program was tucked in my purse.
My god, what a FUN concert! It had me up and moving. This is DAMN good music from a DAMN good performer. And he was backed up by some INCREDIBLY talented musicians, too.
I always enjoy his singing such a handsome man. I have been following him from a young girl from Jamaica West Indies we love and adore Harry he is the best.
One of the most talented , charismatic, intelligent ...& oh so handsome Harry Belafonte ❤️ !!! .... Been his fan from the 60's ...God bless & long live Harry B. ..love from India . 💕
Incredible life. A Blessing from God!!!! To us undeserving human beings. RIP my country man. You were certainly one in a Million!!!! No doubt whatsoever!!!’n
I'll second that! A fine man. An example of SOUL, an example of how to live, sing, etc. A fine man. Namaste Harry I love you, always. Hug my mother for me when you see her...
Menno, you have successfully perpetuated Belafonte’s reputation for generations to come . But remember my friend without Albert Nuttall none of this would have been possible. He laid the foundation for people like you to build on. Thank you again. G-d bless Harry Belafonte now ninety - four years old .
He was the most beautiful man ever to grace this planet. I fell hard at age 8 or 9 the first time I saw and heard him on Sullivan. Sail on and good journey and thank you thank you thank you!!!
Un humain en or. Je vous aime M. Je vous crois parmi les étoiles rempli de paix et lumière. Aujd j' écoute vos chansons , elles sont le lien qui reste pour tjrs avec moi. Merci 🇪🇸❤❤❤❤🙏🌴🌹🌴
Ik keep watching and listening again and again. Can't get enough of this stuff. It seems to me as Harry performs almost without any effort, but I think appeareances are deceptive,. It's pure professionalism.
I knew him from about 3 days and wow i think i found a new legend for my self i wish that i lived in his days i really liked his type of music and his voice and his personality 💕
I am 76 now and already ❤60 years in love with Harry Belafonte. For my 16th birthday I asked an LP from my than boyfriend. I think he is extremely handsome, has a tremendous voice - not only a singing voice but also a speaking voice - and is a beautiful human being. Tip: listen to his song “skin to skin”. Wonderful!!! 10:55
Can you imagine the thrill my family experienced near the time of this video recording when this talented and charismatic man, singers and orchestra came to Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada and performed at the then named Centennial Auditorium? I was a small girl. I just played this for my parents who are now 87 & 88 yrs old. Thank you for posting!
Telegenic, versatile , charismatic, a wonderful repertoire. One of the greatest entertainers of all time. G- d bless Harry Belafonte now ninety - three .
Reminds me of my grandmom...at 80 yrs who loved singing ..Hole in the bucket ...way back in the 60's .!!! 😊 Now I sing it to my grandkids !!! .Long live the legend .
I love all his music,I am Matilda and he sang my praise in one of songs,this makes me proud any where I go and I know it's the same thing with all Matilda all over the world, thanks Harry, I love yah all
RIP Mr Harry Belafonte, you left us with some of the best music. And thank you for your selfless service to civil rights movement, and your effort of trying to make this world a better place.
For those of you who have complemented me on my my comment on Mr. Harry BELAFONTE I wish to thank you all most sincerely. We all know how great an entertainer he was, those words came directly from my heart and his songs will forever be remembered and sing in my household. Our favorite song is “Jamaica Farewell “. One love to all of you.
Jeph J: I must check his biography some time. Was he a somewhat good man? What other talents did he have? Or what was he good at? Many harmonious children?
After enjoying one of his amazing (and impeccable) performances in Toronto, my husband and I (and another couple) popped over to Chinatown for a late dinner. After ordering and while enjoying a drink, I suddenly heard his distinctive, raspy voice and there he was! His table was a mere 14’/15’ away; the restaurant wasn’t busy at that late hour so I was able to look at him throughout dinner. Before his meal arrived, my husband slipped over and asked if he’d sign my program which he did; fortunately, I had it in my bag. I still have it!
#Days can never disappear. Those who songs the songs are now in the heavenly realms. Singing for the Father Who gave them the opportunity to perform with the Father. #jjdr
