I was riding in the subway in NY in about 1960 and saw the most handsome man I had ever seen- I didn’t want to stare at him and just smiled and he smiled back. It was a special moment for me. Later I bought his albums and saw him in concert many times. Wonderful singer and entertainer and civil rights activist!
Great great politics......very compassionate for the underdog!
I heartily agree that Harry Belafonte is one of the most beautiful men of the last century. 😍
I performed in a concert with him! He was so handsome and was so friendly and such a gentleman! ❤
How wonderful
how lucky 🤗🤗💖💖
Both Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte helped to bring pride to the Caribbean Islands and put us on the map of many hearts.💝💝
Both are unforgettable legends and an inspiration to everybody with dreams to fulfil...!
You left out the King of Reggae
Ow abou da Mighty Sparrow😃😎👃
So true!❤
@@juniorreid9583 Yes definitely Bob Marley has done the same.
What a gift to the world he was.

Very nostalgic. In my eighties now, but it turns back the clock to my youth. Wonderful.
My dad was a Greek immigrant who happened to be working as a cook at the hotel Harry was staying in when touring here in Australia in the 60s, and who also happened to be a big fan of Harry's.
He asked one of the bellboys who was about to deliver the food my dad prepared for Harry, if he'd pass on the message that his cook was big fan of his, not expecting much to come of it.
Not long after, the bellboy returns and says that Harry wanted to thank my dad for his kind words. He then hands my dad a picture and a tour book both personally signed by Harry. He then tops it off up saying that Harry would like him to have these 2 tickets for his show as a thank you.
My dad passed away many years ago but I always remember the smile on his face when sharing this particular story with me, showing me the tour book and photos, and it made me fond of Harry since, and made me appreciate what a genuinely good hearted person he must have been.
Woah! That’s some memory indeed!
Thank you for sharing your lovely memory, love and light upon you from Ireland mo chairde 🌿
This song and this version by a wonderful performer who I saw in Australia has rekindled beautiful memories of my late father who served in the Pacific in World War 2
My Father loved Harry Belafontes Music , l remember him giving me the money to go to the store to buy the 45
Record that was so popular, we were all born in Ireland but grew up in England, he was loved in Ireland also,☘️
Island in the Sun was being sung everywhere & still is, thank you for all your work for Human Rights, here in the US as well.
+Rest in Peace you were something very special.
“I hope the day will never come when I cannot awake to the sound of drum” For Harry sadly that day has come but what a legacy he leaves us. A life filled with song that achieved so much for marginalised people everywhere. Rest in peace good friend and may your music and compassion for people live on for ever.

Legends never die, but are rediscovered in every generation. RIP dear Sir.
Rest in peace
Harry Bellefonte I listen to your beautiful voice every day. Thank You God for this wonderful gift to the world!! REAST IN PEACE HARRY BELLEFONTE!!! LOL--JUDY THORNHILL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Harry Bellafanta we usually look forward to hearing you singing
I’m old now, but Harry B has stayed with me and will, forever
Rest In Peace Harry Belafonte, beautiful voice and beautiful song.
My friend and I went to see Harry in concert at the SF Opera House in 1956. Our tickets were for the very last row of the top of the house. We were 15. We took our dads' heavy old binoculars and I could see the weaving in the rug on the stage floor. I could see the rivulets of sweat running down his face. I hear this particular song way differently than I did back then.
Now I hear it as a song of sovereignty, sung by a strong Jamaican. The words are quite beautiful. I learned them then, but had no idea what the song was really about. I thank this great man for all he has done to stand for justice wherever he is.
Jesus what a story
Timeless : This beautiful song will never age . 🌷🌹🌹🌷🙂😀
Absolutly correct nothing to add...
Just great! 😂😊

Who could not love this man? What a beautiful voice and he just looks so nice.
My mother and I were lucky enough to attend his concert in Vancouver on his 60th birthday. We had front row seats about 10 feet from him. He was the sexiest man alive at that time. Haven’t seen him for many years but he likely still is. It was the best concert of my life.
He,s sadly left the village Sherry at the tender age of 96
Harry Bellefonte was and still is a Gift from God. RIP-- I LISTEN TO HIS BUETIFUL VOICE EVERY DAY!! LOL --JUDY THORNHILL 4:31 ❤❤❤THORNHILL

Takes me back to childhood days ...heard this song played and sung many times at home. My father loved this song and Harry Belafonte.
And me too ! Now, I'm 70 years old and I feel young when I am listening Harry Belafonte !
And me, I'm 65 :)
Same, but our favorite was "Little Bird" from his album "Homeward Bound".

You‘re so right,Clara,that is just what i wanted to say!

Persönlichkeiten/Charaktere wie Harry Belafonte sind so rar geworden in diesen Zeiten,wo sie nötiger gebraucht werden als jemals zuvor...daher bin ich sehr 😔!

Paul Robson , Nat King Cole and now Harry to be counted amongst the most illustrious . May he RIP .
I was lucky to be introduced to Harry Bellafonte and the magic of Calypso music as a young kid growing up in a small, sleepy town in the North East Indian state of Assam in the late '60s, thanks to a L. P. vinyl record belonging to my maternal uncle. Respects and regards.
Born in 1958 in Calgary Canada, grew up with a father who loved Harry. My favourite Christmas song is sung by him, as well.
Congrats from Argentina!!🇦🇷
Beautiful Deepak.
Very nice.
Memories of being a young child listening on the radio this lovely song. ❤️
Ein Mann mit einer unbeschreiblichen Aura.
Seine Herkunft hat Harry Belafonte nie vergessen.
Seine Talente setzte er auch für die Schwachen ein und kämpfte für Gerechigkeit.

As a West Indian Harry Belafonte's lyrics bring the formative years of my life in the Caribbean into my mind.
A very handsome man with a lovely voice.
Beautiful music ! Harry put the Caribbean on the map for many of us and inspired a lot of insight into its history and music. Pure easy listening !

He was all that and much, much more.
R.I.P. Mr. Belafonte.
He is absolutely a great singer,and very handsome 💖💖💖👍‼️‼️
Ruhe in Frieden Harry ! Du warst einer der besten !
Enamorada de Belafonte y también de su maravillosa música desde los 4 años (1957). A lo 40 años viajé por primera vez al Caribe y quedé fascinada por los Harrys Belafontes que encontré. Maravillosa mezcla de la que han nacido los hombres más guapos, atractivos y elegantes del mundo. Algo bueno tenía que dar la maldita colonización.
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 earth below
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 waterside
Casting nets at the surging 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
❤
Thank you so much for taking time and sharing lyrics🥰🥰
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 earth below
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 women on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging 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
