[@zoeabbey9400]

Harry Belefonte (born Harold Belanfontaine Jr.), is one beautiful man. I adore his voice, sexiness, looks, sense of humor and the energy he puts into his characters and his stage performances. I also admire his humanitarianism. He gives so much of himself to people. He lives such an unselfish life. I adore every bit of this historical, intellegent, renaissance man.

[@murph3001]

Facts he is just one of a kind. His spirit is beautiful he is my inspiration. 😁❤️

[@fannifaven1]

Harry's activities among the whole society of humanity is not measureble. He worked endlessly that perpetuum mobile - man ❤️ never was without a WORD.

[@carolbozek1625]

I have admired him for many things- his voice- grace- activism-calmness when in a discussion about injustice giving people of many Opinions to speak and then giving them examples of injustice. His friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King helped him to continue to work on behalf of justice for his entire life. A life well lived!! Thank you for sharing your beauty with us. Rest in Peace 🙏🏽❤️🌈🌹

[@friendofbeaver6636]

My dear Mother loved Harry's music. She had a studio version of Matilda, with the whistling, on vinyl. This video is impressive, despite, only offering a fragment of the lyrics, displaying Harry's showmanship, abroad!

[@gilleruadh]

If you have a library card that let's you use Freegal, much of Belafonte's songs are available on that application. The music is DRM free & you own the songs you download. I think you're allowed to download up to 5 songs per week.

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

Many years ago, one of my eighth grade classmates so adored Harry Belafonte that she wrote a poem about his magnetism and vitality. When I heard the recording of him singing "Matilda" at Carnegie Hall, I understood her poem!

[@adetolaadesokan7171]

Whao! I can't stop watchin Belafonte Matilda.this is comedy of our time. Musicians overenjoyed in Sweden that they lost their keys. Over 40yrs women probably were matildas at their prime time. Bigspenders had a good show reason they spend big. The two men with Belafonte never had any Matilda in their lives except Belafonte. Scholarships struggled and are still struggling for life. I love this piece.
