Harry Belafonte was a legend. RIP I remember his rendition of "unchained melody". I think it was originally by the Righteous Brothers. What was his relationship with that group? 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Harry Belafonte invited her to the US to perform and she went there, but the Apartheid Government of South Africa revoked her passport. Many African countries offered her citizenship and Belafonte helped her in the US. She performed on the Ed Sullivan Show and she also performed before President Kennedy. She was ill when she performed in front of President Kennedy, so she went back to her hotel immediately afterwards, but the President wanted to meet her, so Harry Belafonte sent a car to go and bring her back. naptu2: 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Rest in peace Sir . He has made a mark on this Earth and he has left. Those of you alive, if u like be hurting and hating on people. Refuse to help the needy and make a mockery of them. Whatever u sow, u will definitely reap. 29 Likes 4 Shares |

Rest on Belafonte. There is this song Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba did together titled "One More Dance". Very lovely song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOzSBE8JHDg&pp=ygUpT25lIG1vcmUgZGFuY2UgQmVsYWZvbnRlIGZ0IG1pcmlhbSBtYWtlYmE%3D 2 Likes 3 Shares |
