Sad to learn of death of this legend today April 25, 2023..who is here to celebrate his consistency in giving good music. RIP Belafonte...your music lives forever
In 1962 at the age of 14 I had saved up enough money to buy my first ever LP and it was called Harry Belafonte - Excerpts From The Belafonte Carnegie Hall Concert. I still got this LP today , what a treasure and what beautiful music !!!!!!!!!!!!
Got first introduced to this amazing voice when I was 15/16 year old. It was my English/Choir teacher who introduced me to this song and eventually Harry Belafonte. I love her for introducing me to Harry. It’s a sad day. Sure sad to say, he’s on his way but he will be always there in Kingston town❤
All of Mr. Belafonte songs are so beautiful and have endured the test of time. There is no modern singer who can match ; their songs are quickly dispatched to the dust bin of time despite the amount of money they make
He is awesome. Wil be ninety- four on March 1st , 2021. Two weeks from now. G- d bless him. There’s Belafonte and then everyone else. A league of his own.
My grandson plays this mesmerising flute with his mouth without the flute.And I sing along with him.The three generations having singing Bela Fonte.He is eternally fascinating.
DAY O or the Banana boat Song is more a Calipso song of Harry than ALL other Calipso song of Harry but Im Sad to say I love more the músic of Harry is Islands in the Sun and the Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu Paloma. When I hears these músic, my Sad just fadê away
I remember my mom listening to this on our computer when I was a little kid; I walked in her office and we ended up dancing! Not sure how but it reminded me of “white” music and really made me think hard about what divides us and what brings us together ❤️ You’re a real one, old timer! I’ll always be a fan!
Forty one years later ,Belafonte still sings it as beautifully as he did back then.Making it into an audience participation song was a wonderful idea.Now,eighty nine ,G-d bless him. The song is a true classic.
Oh dear - it's making me cry! I remember being a little girl who had to leave Kingston Town - to go back Home to school in England. I returned to Jamaica a few times - and it's beauty never fades! Thanks to Belafonte for bolstering the memories for me!
Harry Belafonte altijd al een fan van geweest, alle liedjes van hem vind ik heerlijk om naar te luisteren. Zo,n lieve man, en een prachtige stem, love HIM! Liefs marian.
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.
My late mom loved Belafonte and ALL his songs . And as the years go by, i have come to LOVE his songs as well. It,s so hard to hold back the tears while listening to this song because it brings back memories of happy childhood days gone forever! Harry Belafonte................THANK YOU FOR FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH US! God bless you for sharing.
Time tested performance ... Audience of world was spell bound ... till present day ... performance would be remembered with respect for many many years to come .... I am just "FIDA" whenever I am hearing him ... simply mesmerized with his tonal quality of his voice as well as the style ....
This is how to control the stage & audience together. Came to listen this evergreen song, but going back with respect with his eccentric control ability. Take love from India. ♥️
this is one of the songs our family sang - a regular in our folk song nights and hootenannies! I still remember at 5 this song made me cry, because I thought a little girl like me was being left behind on the shore.
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.
@@orane3549 It reminds me of my high-school girlfriend.War broke,i left in a hurry , wasn't able to pick her contacts,nor a chance to say goodbye.Ever since,i haven't had a chance to see her.

One of my happiest memories was seeing Mr. Belafonte at the Music Center in Los Angeles for my 18th birthday gift back in 1970. My Dad always played Belafonte's Carnegie Live album on Sundays. I still play that album today. My kids also grew up listening to Mr. Belafonte. What a joy his music brings the heart. Day-O......
Oh, the memories. As an eight year old boy infatuated with my best friend and first love (we sat together in infants' school), in a land foreign to me and from which I was shortly to depart. I was not relishing the leaving. In the back garden, I was singing this favourite song and about to utter, (I had to leave a little girl in) 'Kingston town', when my mother from an upstairs window at prcisely the right time, intervened, interposed and shouted down with 'London town'. Oh! The indignity of it! My indignation was palpable. Sixty five years later, I still feel it. I wonder, to this day, how that 'little girl' is faring in life. Thank you Harry . . . forever the star.

He had a beautiful way of commanding an audience. What a voice! What a life! Born in the 90s but he's my favorite. RIP gorgeous 👑 King
I am just 15 but already have heard most of his songs... By the way I am also from India...
I am a Filipino but I lived in Brazil. I have a daughter and grandchildren both Brazilian living in India
I'm too interested
You're not 15. Stop telling lies
Golden oldies!
Same. I am also bengali.
Got first introduced to this amazing voice when I was 15/16 year old. It was my English/Choir teacher who introduced me to this song and eventually Harry Belafonte. I love her for introducing me to Harry. It’s a sad day. Sure sad to say, he’s on his way but he will be always there in Kingston town❤

Best song ever: golden voice
This is how to control the stage & audience together. Came to listen this evergreen song, but going back with respect with his eccentric control ability. Take love from India. ♥️
omg so much nostalgia associated with the song, I was very young in India when I learned this song in school💖😍
IKRRR
this is one of the songs our family sang - a regular in our folk song nights and hootenannies! I still remember at 5 this song made me cry, because I thought a little girl like me was being left behind on the shore.
When I first heard this song I was about 10 years old. I have loved it for 60 years!!
Belafonte and Makeba.
Two giants .
Two legends.
They made magic together.
very true......
I am happy that young people also like Harry. When you are god, you are god!!
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.
Harry Belafonte, a Music Legend.
That guy who is blowing something kind a flute gosh that thing is so sweet,I love the song though I can't watch it without shedding tears.
Why? Just curious! I like the song but it is not exactly a tearjerker.
It's a Penny whistle.
Banned in South Africa during Apartheid & people were arrested for using them.
@@orane3549 It reminds me of my high-school girlfriend.War broke,i left in a hurry , wasn't able to pick her contacts,nor a chance to say goodbye.Ever since,i haven't had a chance to see her.
@@hapijen4828 Wow!,what an experience
@@favourspapatv
Penny whistle is also very much part of the Irish culture & not the easiest instrument to play -
very squeaky when you're learning- but very cheap to buy - 1 Penny.
But that player has the sweetest sound.
Whenever i listen to his songs, i can feel his feeling toward the love of human beings. and i also love to sing this song at karaoke!
One of the greatest.
His last recorded concert.
can't get tired listening.
amazing!
I was 6 yeras old when I firs her Harry and am 67 now and still LOVE him I wish hi will always remembered

This songs brings back many memories of my youth some sad some good. I remember my dad singing this song in his old car as we traveled on holidays.
One of my happiest memories was seeing Mr. Belafonte at the Music Center in Los Angeles for my 18th birthday gift back in 1970. My Dad always played Belafonte's Carnegie Live album on Sundays. I still play that album today. My kids also grew up listening to Mr. Belafonte.
What a joy his music brings the heart. Day-O......
Oh wow That is fantastic x
one of the greatest lovesongs ever sang............
Belafonte,a singer of 1st class
Woooo he still the same I was 7 years when I started to listen to his songs and now I am 64 God blessed you😘😘✌️🙏🙏🙏
Hello Martha, How are you doing?
I have been listening this song for the last 10 years. It's lyrics and music s are amazing. Now 71 years .I listen it regularly.
This song reminds me of school days. Music teacher playing this song. Telling us about this singer. Nostalgia hitting hard.♥️
1st heard as a school kid now am 51. Just as likeable today. God bless him
Such a tremendously capable wonderful outstanding gem.
It filled my heart with a childish like joy. What a joy, yet inevitable to resist the tears of joy.
Rip Harry. You were a hero and inspiration to many of us. WE LOVED YOU IN SOUTH AFRICA.
¡Me saco el sombrero ante este gran cantante!
How do you express the purity of this music extraordinaire ?
Indescribable indeed. God bless you Papa Belafonte.
Oh, the memories.
As an eight year old boy infatuated with my best friend and first love (we sat together in infants' school), in a land foreign to me and from which I was shortly to depart. I was not relishing the leaving.
In the back garden, I was singing this favourite song and about to utter, (I had to leave a little girl in) 'Kingston town', when my mother from an upstairs window at prcisely the right time, intervened, interposed and shouted down with 'London town'.
Oh! The indignity of it! My indignation was palpable.
Sixty five years later, I still feel it. I wonder, to this day, how that 'little girl' is faring in life.
Thank you Harry . . . forever the star.
R.I.P. Harry Belafonte, grew up on your music.😢❤
Today November 2019, love this music from my youth on the radio, 1960’s.
