    Oh my god, his sensitivity and artistry. The beauty is too much. I can’t stop crying. We have lost one of the greatest artist-activists of my lifetime. 💔😭

    The greatest performer of all time. A riveting, happy presence in the lives of my parents, myself and my husband, and our children. Right, now future generations will be able to discover him.

    The man oozed talent, artistry, sensitivity, and soul from every pore. He was simply phenomenal. Oh, and he was the most beautiful, graceful man I've ever laid eyes on. It all came together in this one individual.

    Very much different from many of his concerts.
    Not the familiar format.
    Throughout his career he recorded over five hundred and thirty five melodies.- a vast number to choose from and in this program he chose very wisely..

    Il y a dans ce concert, à 32 minutes 30 secondes du début, la plus prenante version que j'aie entendue de la chanson "The Partisan" reprise par Leonard Cohen. Tout le reste n'est pas moins qu'une très belle trace musicale de l'année 1959 pour qui s'intéresse au passé. À vous de voir.

    Fantastic performance by a marvellous artist. But the song after Shenandoah is "Chickens" not "A Little Lyric of Great Importance", and the song "Awimawe" is the well known "Wimoweh".

    I love Harry but in my opinion, the song "Old King Cole" hurt his voice which later began to show up in later years. But I always was and will always be a huge HARRY BELAFONTE fan. I love these videos and give many thanks to Menno Dreischor !!! FANTASTIC CHANNEL !!!

    Beautiful, sentimental, and so sad, since I was too troubled to really be young. Plan to be a late bloomer!
    Was Harry Belafonte a harmonious and happy man? One would think so, but appearances may deceive. Cf clowns or Robin Williams. Although with him, I did think he might be depressed under that extreme humour-creating activity.
