Harry Belafonte has been on my mind since yesterday [View all]

He was 94 on March 1st. He has also retired from public life.

Harry walked with giants in the struggle for civil rights but he also has an amazing catalogue of fabulous music.

What are your favorite Belafonte songs?

With Miriam

Love you Harry
