R.I.P. Harry Belafonte - 96

[Monsters For Sale]

                                                           Harry Belafonte, 1927-2023


Star of an almost last man on earth movie The World, the Flesh and the Devil, 1959.

I was 9 years old most of 1956, when he had every kid in America singing the Banana Boat Song in schoolyards.  "Day-O, Day-O-O-O".  But I always like his Jamaica Farewell song the best.  https://youtu.be/aajSxr8nghE

I'm sad to say Harry is on his way.
