I have told my family that I want this played at my funeral, as it was played at Jim Henson's. RIP Mr Belafonte. May your memory be a blessing.

[@katherinegaston5229]

Can see him dancing into the next existance. “Only can the spirit turn the world around” Thank you Harry Belafonte

For everyone mentioning the Muppet Show, this episode was reportedly Jim Henson's favorite episode. "After Henson's death in May 1990, Belafonte was asked to perform the song at Henson's memorial service." [Wikipedia]

Rest in Power, you legendary man you..... The world won't be the same without you.....

[@rhysiiboy]

His muppet show version of this amazing song is the best version I think. First heard it watching the muppet show and absolutely fell in love with it.

[@judibickford5306]

Rest In Power, Nobel Warrior! March 1, 1927- April 25, 2023😪

Thank you Mr. Belafonte!!!

The solo of Jess in “Love of the Common Man” is unbelievable,

[@TheGomjabar]

Went for years humming bits of this without remembering where it came from. Its astonishing to find the source of my little subconscious melody Thanks Harry

[@forascalon]

Not sure if you're old enough to have experienced this, but Harry Belafonte did this song with the Muppets a long time ago. I saw part of the performance on a "Muppets 30th Anniversary Special" when I was a kid, which was full of amazing music and performers like this. Maybe that's where you first encountered it.

[@odysseuslaertiades1528]

From which African country does the original song come from?

[@samlink364]

According to Harry when he introduced it to Fozzie on the Muppet Show, he based it on a trip he made to the interior of Guinea

[@carviz7199]

i think it's an island (based) song

[@firetarrasque4667]

Harry Belafonte original, but it's got influences from all over Africa and the Carribean, I expect.

"We come from the Water" I wonder if Harry was trying to explain. The theory of Evolution in the form of song??. 😜😏😆May he RIP
