[@BlackadderFunk]

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.

[@flopiano2000]

[@carolbozek1625]

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!

[@sandramorey2529]

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.
