OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, FANTASTIC MUSIC AND MUSICIANS AND THE AWESOME HARRY BELAFONTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Thank you Mr. Belafonte for years of superlative entertainment but mostly for the "nourishment" of the soul you provide- you set an example that skin colour should not matter and your generosity is admirable and should serve as an example- every person counts and every hand can reach for another hand and hold it. My mom just died age 98, her favorite man wasn't my father- he was the opposite of Harry, cruel, abusive etc. Her favorite album of Harry's was, Love is a Gentle Thing, I played it the morning after and cried...A strange Christmas- a time of year mom disliked because her family was far away- I wish to thank with love my mom for how strong she was and Harry for my one of the seeds that grew into my garden of music- stupid awkward metaphor but on this day, the 1st day of 2022 I am brain fogged by a covid booster too, so pardon me, and listen to EVERYTHING THIS MAN RECORDED- music is the universal language- Namaste

[@ciscotheinkboi]

I actually met Harry Belafonte at the St Jude Church/Hospital at Montgomery AL, in 2012. Me, my mom, and my sister went to see him. I saw him standing in the middle of a crowd on the Church grounds and I nervously walked up to him and said that I was a big fan of his. He even took a picture with me and my sister! We went inside the Church for a ceremony and after the service, he called me over and introduced me to his wife! My grandpa, who was also there, gave me his "Best of Harry Belafonte" CD for him to sign. AND HE SIGNED IT!!! He wrote: "Peace, Harry Belafonte". He was very humble and very nice and I'm very glad and grateful that I ever met him in person!

A most beautiful man expressing truth in a most generous way..... without recrimination or grievances and yet without apologies or a coddling of the worlds insensitivity and barbarism. It´s hard to believe that such a one as He existed in his time while the Anglo-Saxon world loved him without really understanding the truth that he shared so lovingly; Had they, their world would have changed much sooner to exalt each and everyone. Thank you sir.
