Aloe Blacc sings Paul Brady's 'The Island' at the first memorial of the life of Harry Belafonte. 

The opening bars on the piano for this song are timeless........what a really nice rendition of The Island............a classic always.....and Harry Belafonte's favourite song....great stuff Paul.

Oh. What justice the singer does to Paul's song. 👌

What an honor it must be, Paul. Your music moves us all.

Beautiful rendition of Paul Bradys song ❤❤❤

My favourite Paul Brady song, nobody sings it better than Paul but this is a nice interpretation

The older I get the more Paul’s quality shines through, great cover by Aloe

Mr Brady.☘♥️🇮🇪

It certainly brought a tear to my eyes - and you Paul?

Great t see another version of Paul's song 👏

A great tribute to you Paul... such a moving and powerful song.

Absolutely brilliant...and demonstrates that all problems are international....well done Paul Brady...and Aloe Blacc

Lovely version but Paul's will never be bettered.

This song is a masterpiece by Paul ............nothing but the same old story , steel claw ., crazy dreams ...........what a songsmith !

Beautiful, no other words

what a song and what singer great to here Pauls world wide

❤

That's a great cover 👌

Super voice, always loved The Island.

Lovely rendition, makes me think that Tracey Chapman and Paul Brady should have collaborated back in the day. They both stand out on their own but some might have more to offer to each other

Brilliant. I also would love to hear how Nick Cave would treat this classic.

Thanks - better than any rebel song.

What a fabulous version of Paul's song.

The island as in ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

Na Paul's the man

piano is lovely, but that singing is terrible. it seems like he hasn't actually learned the melody, just the words; and when he deviates from the actual melody, it's horridly flat. :/
