Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier, two of the world's greatest entertainers who ever walked on the surface of this earth. They came, they saw and they conquered. May Their Dear Souls Forever Rest In Peace.
They didn't just walk the Earth they lifted our weary souls to new heights and have now left the surly bonds of Earth and now sing with the angels. They await us.
1 of our great mentor his music 1'st drew my attention to him and followed the best with his love 4 us we need more of his kind today I hope and pray that in time We'll be Free RIP my dear brother
When I heard Harry Belafonte died, I started to look to find more information about him. I found this interview that shows what a great human being he was, he fought for the blacks around the world, not only in the USA, the most mistreated people in the planet. Harry is a great example for all humanity, sadly now days rich blacks are indiferent to the suffering and struggles of their own people. They have private jets, lavish hauses, extravagant life stiles and very few help to others, their ego is too big to see reality. Harry Belmonte gave his all for the colour people. I am sure you are in the kingdom of God. RIP
Blanca, Mr. Belafonte is a great man, talented musician, gifted performer, philosopher, philanthropist and servant of God. He now is at home in Paradise!
I have always loved Harry Belafonte, his music hid acting and his involvement in Civil Rights with Martin Luther King !! Harry was a special American !!! His story is amazing in every way !!!! His handsome face was something to admirer. !!! MaryAnn Preston
I have always called this man my mentor in life. Everyone that I introduce him to says that he was so wise. It's so valuable that he is documented in these videos. I have every album, seen him in concert maybe 10-15 times, but I saw him in lecture form one time and that meant more than any of his entertaining.
What a wonderful man Harry Belafonte is, never thinking of himself but always thinking of other people. This interview with him was very touching. I myself would have loved being able to meet him in person to thank him for all the work he has done also, the songs he sings with such strong feelings. Thank you Mr Harry Belafonte. xx
Whatta Man whatta Man we need more men like him this day and time with all the gun violence going and underlining prejudice. Person that thinks not of himself is truly a man of God. We need more Brothers.
Wow!!! God, we thank you for such a gift sold to servitude, brotherly love, intergrity, and most of all, the courage and love to stand for the struggle. The building goes on continuously, improving and successfully to be sustained by God's grace and providence. Amen. 🙏🙏🙏⚘️🌷👏😭

I believe GOD was pleased with him, his Work was Done, and GOD called him "Home!! Rest in Peace Harry Belafonte. May the Peace and Love of GOD be with your family at this time. ❤️🙏🙏
We are so very fortunate to be able to see and hear this wonderful interview between these two highly spiritual political men! They both are icons for us!
To have fought the good fight, to have walked amidst the noise and haste, to have done no harm and left things better than he found them, this is a man. This is a legendary hero. This is life at its simplest terms…profound.
Oh, how we will miss Harry Belafonte sharing the earth with us, as of today, the day he died. As a Berner, I am steeped in the stories and lives of the disenfranchised, immigrants, minorities and those with "different lives." These are my people as I was "different" too. Music is central to my family and my heart, as its universal strains can reach us all. I loved both Belafonte and Glover (see Grand Canyon.) A common theme in our families has been the military, as for decades it was, sometimes, the only way to a free education. Belafonte got his education by reading the references in a Dubois book - Amazing. Tickets to a play at the American Negro Theater in Harlem in a Library Basement opened Belafonte's eyes, his yearning for talent and "To show life as it should be." Let's love each other today, for Harry.
Thanks to Harry Belafonte for spending his life challenging and helping to overturn racial barriers. For the role he played in ending apartheid in South Africa, and aiding in the release of Nelson Mandela. His contribution to the Arts is legendary. Thank you so much Sir, rest in honor. We miss you, condolences to your family.
A 'catalyst' for sure....moves the 'game' forward. Just organizing the worldwide fundraiser 'We are the World' shows how his great mind works: expansive and 'big picture'.
MR HARRY BELAFONTE YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH. YOU AND THE LATE SYDNEY POITIER. WE WERE SOOO SADENED FOR SYDNEY'S DEATH. I HAD AALWAYS WISHED THAT ONE DAY I WOULD SEE YOU N SYDNEY BUT UNFORTUNATELY SYDNEY IS NO MORE. MAYBE BY GODS GRACE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. YOU HAD COME TO TANZANIA MAAANY YEARS AGO AND "YOU AND SYDNEY CAME TO OUR HOME THRU MY LATE DAD." WE STILL HAVE THE PHOTOS WE TOOK WITH YOU AND SYDNEY WE HAVE IT AT HOME. YOU WILL REMEMBER WHEN THIS MESSAGE REACHES YOU REGARDING YOUR TANZANIAN TRIP.I IN JESUS NAME MAY YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE. AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU EVERYDAY.
The original concept - initial structure, rather than what it became - is NOT what it became. Human nature, apparently, is less than trustworthy when there is a lingering aristocracy…
What he says at 50:33 onwards is so touching and very inspiring. I wanna use this part whenever I make a video about him. Yes I met Mr. Harry Belafonte in St Jude in Montgomery Alabama, back in 2012.
