HARRY BELAFONTE has influenced so many performers, so many singers. I was listening to a Neil Diamond album from 1974 entitled, SERENADE. There is do much of that album that draws directly from Harry's calypso albums, Check out the song, THE LAST PICASSO

[@nicadair7700]

If you want to hear the best version of this song seach for The Highwaymen Michael (1961) stereo

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard borrowed a bit from the guitar rhythm huh?

[@beatlesss9592]

In this channel only exist Pearl Bailey and Harry Balofante

[@Miketendo93]

You can really hear the influence in Smokey Robinson's vocal styling from Harry Beloafonte

[@lennon1252]

Ed let Harry sing about Satan but wouldn't let Buddy Holly sing Oh Boy and wouldn't let Jim Morrison say the word higher. 😮

[@Firefoxy-rz1nw]

It's also interesting that Belefonte was allowed to appear with his shirt open like that--presumably because he was a black "islander"--whereas acts like Holly probably wouldn't be allowed to get away with that. I recently watched Siren of the Tropics, a 1920's silent film, and was surprised to see that the black actress, Josephine Baker, goes topless in several scenes in the movie. They'd never be able to show a topless white actress in a mainstream movie during that era

[@robertday3817]

Consider that the next year, Poitier would win an Oscar on the shoulder of "A----Men" and a bunch of nuns. It is worth pondering if Harry turned the role down.

[@lindawilliams8715]

Mr. Belafonte stated he was offered the role but he refused because it didn't make sense for a Black man to appear from nowhere going nowhere and build a church for a bunch of Nazi nuns!🤣😂

[@SonsofOdin729]

There you go dog. You made the song your own

[@bobbyhanly3466]

Bit fast. Highwaymen is the only version. Sounds like Harry is in a rush to get to the men's room.
