I am 77. From India. I heard Island in the sun when I was 10.
I hear it now. With joy. What more can one person do for the world?
The song has stood the toughest test.
It has stood the test of time
My Mom used to sing this song when it came on the wireless when I was a little girl over 60 years ago while she was doing the homework, a happy song, happy memories of Mom. 🤗🏝️🏖️🏝️🌞🍹🍹🍹
I was riding in the subway in NY in about 1960 and saw the most handsome man I had ever seen- I didn’t want to stare at him and just smiled and he smiled back. It was a special moment for me. Later I bought his albums and saw him in concert many times. Wonderful singer and entertainer and civil rights activist!
Great great politics......very compassionate for the underdog!
I heartily agree that Harry Belafonte is one of the most beautiful men of the last century. 😍
I performed in a concert with him! He was so handsome and was so friendly and such a gentleman! ❤
How wonderful
how lucky 🤗🤗💖💖
Any one who heard Harry Belafote one will listen again! ❤❤❤
Rest in peace master, your songs will always be with us, you have flown to the island in the sun
😐
Harry for ever RIP
May he now sail to his eternal island in the sun in peace to enjoy forever at the hand of his creator.
Rest in Peace. Wonderful man, wonderful songs
Come ti anno ridotto al ospedale il fratello dottore c'è ancora quella
I’m old now, but Harry B has stayed with me and will, forever

I am watching this on April 13, 2024 and I wiIll continue tolisten to this kind of old favorites.
My Father loved Harry Belafontes Music , l remember him giving me the money to go to the store to buy the 45
Record that was so popular, we were all born in Ireland but grew up in England, he was loved in Ireland also,☘️
Island in the Sun was being sung everywhere & still is, thank you for all your work for Human Rights, here in the US as well.
+Rest in Peace you were something very special.
@@francesmcgloin9743 Yes, a musician and a rare human being. His music will live on.
Both Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte helped to bring pride to the Caribbean Islands and put us on the map of many hearts.💝💝
Both are unforgettable legends and an inspiration to everybody with dreams to fulfil...!
You left out the King of Reggae
Ow abou da Mighty Sparrow😃😎👃
So true!❤
@@juniorreid9583 Yes definitely Bob Marley has done the same.
My dad was a Greek immigrant who happened to be working as a cook at the hotel Harry was staying in when touring here in Australia in the 60s, and who also happened to be a big fan of Harry's.
He asked one of the bellboys who was about to deliver the food my dad prepared for Harry, if he'd pass on the message that his cook was big fan of his, not expecting much to come of it.
Not long after, the bellboy returns and says that Harry wanted to thank my dad for his kind words. He then hands my dad a picture and a tour book both personally signed by Harry. He then tops it off up saying that Harry would like him to have these 2 tickets for his show as a thank you.
My dad passed away many years ago but I always remember the smile on his face when sharing this particular story with me, showing me the tour book and photos, and it made me fond of Harry since, and made me appreciate what a genuinely good hearted person he must have been.
Woah! That’s some memory indeed!
Thank you for sharing your lovely memory, love and light upon you from Ireland mo chairde 🌿
This song and this version by a wonderful performer who I saw in Australia has rekindled beautiful memories of my late father who served in the Pacific in World War 2
I'm crying and I bow my head. You have been a treasure for mankind! Your spirit will remain a beacon for all of us.
🌌🌟💙💫🌅🤟🏅🕯️
That's a lovely and sincere tribute you wrote Hartwig.
Much peace and good karma to you!

Thanks for this lovely video I am hearing this lovely song for the first time, to be honest we had great music icons back then
“I hope the day will never come when I cannot awake to the sound of drum” For Harry sadly that day has come but what a legacy he leaves us. A life filled with song that achieved so much for marginalised people everywhere. Rest in peace good friend and may your music and compassion for people live on for ever.

Rip Harry belafonte I was brought up on song I'm a jamaican black woman in my 70th you will be truly miss
My friend and I went to see Harry in concert at the SF Opera House in 1956. Our tickets were for the very last row of the top of the house. We were 15. We took our dads' heavy old binoculars and I could see the weaving in the rug on the stage floor. I could see the rivulets of sweat running down his face. I hear this particular song way differently than I did back then.
Now I hear it as a song of sovereignty, sung by a strong Jamaican. The words are quite beautiful. I learned them then, but had no idea what the song was really about. I thank this great man for all he has done to stand for justice wherever he is.
Jesus what a story
Es ist fast nicht zu glauben dass dieses Lied von damals so aktuell in der heutigen Zeit ist, bravo Nicole, dieses Lied sollte in jedem Land auf dieser Erde jeden Tag gesungen werden, danke Nicole
Please, give this man an island in the sky.........
According to the Bible you will meet him right here. It says 144000 will go to Heaven rest of us wake up in paradise Eden, Earth. Acts says righteous and unrighteous. So those of us who missed him the first time will get a chance to know him Moses Senacherib of Persia Joseph and his brothers, everyone forever and I'm sure if he wants he will find an isle but he won't own it we all will.
Absolutely Beautiful...A Naturally Gifted Man By God!!!
😊❤
He was all that and much, much more.
R.I.P. Mr. Belafonte.
MHDSRIP.... 🙏🙏✝️✝️🙏🙏
RIP Mr Harry Belafonte . My children’s dancing with me your music.
My mother and I were lucky enough to attend his concert in Vancouver on his 60th birthday. We had front row seats about 10 feet from him. He was the sexiest man alive at that time. Haven’t seen him for many years but he likely still is. It was the best concert of my life.
He,s sadly left the village Sherry at the tender age of 96
Harry Bellefonte was and still is a Gift from God. RIP-- I LISTEN TO HIS BUETIFUL VOICE EVERY DAY!! LOL --JUDY THORNHILL 4:31 ❤❤❤THORNHILL

Harry était très beau pas que physiquement..Tout en lui était du diamant par ses
You‘re so right,Clara,that is just what i wanted to say!
And let me say in german...
Persönlichkeiten/Charaktere wie Harry Belafonte sind so rar geworden in diesen Zeiten,wo sie nötiger gebraucht werden als jemals zuvor...daher bin ich sehr 😔!
Yes, most definitely one of the most iconic figure from our native Caribbean that through time was an outspoken revolutionary human-rights advocate that was recognize and shared the stage with other icon as Niom Chompsky.
Indeed a treasure gone but not lost.......
This morning (4/25/23) in the news: Harry Belafonte has died of congestive heart failure at his Manhattan home. He was 96. RIP
No he didn't die, he's still with us ,until we die.

I’m watching this on 16th July. 2024 in Auckland, New Zealand. All I can see is his lips singing this beautiful song. Have just finished watching the movie of the same name, “An Island In The Sun” ❤️ Thank you Harry Belafonte ❤
All my life I have been listening to this song on the radio. As a child I loved this song and even now this song warms my soul. A good singer is now gone.
😐
Takes me back to childhood days ...heard this song played and sung many times at home. My father loved this song and Harry Belafonte.
And me too ! Now, I'm 70 years old and I feel young when I am listening Harry Belafonte !
And me, I'm 65 :)
Same, but our favorite was "Little Bird" from his album "Homeward Bound".
@@MikeC32958nah I checked
Evergreen. I grew up to love his songs. Rest in peace Belafonte.

Jim Reeves & Harry Belafonte are the only two solo singers, whom I enjoy listening to almost every day. RIP Harry. You'll be remembered even by the future generations.

MR BELLAFONTA THANK YOU .. BEAUTIFUL PERSON .. MUSIC WILL LIVE ON R I P
This is very Precious Moments in my Life. When I took my MBA at the Philippines that I was so inspired doing my Project Feasibility Studied. That Petula Clark gave me an Inspiration. Thanks to her I got 1st Prize in our Competition Contest and I got 1.25 in our Oral & Written Composition. The School that I studied make my Projects into Reality. Thank you so much You Tube and you have me an Inspiration.
I was lucky to be introduced to Harry Bellafonte and the magic of Calypso music as a young kid growing up in a small, sleepy town in the North East Indian state of Assam in the late '60s, thanks to a L. P. vinyl record belonging to my maternal uncle. Respects and regards.
Born in 1958 in Calgary Canada, grew up with a father who loved Harry. My favourite Christmas song is sung by him, as well.
Congrats from Argentina!!🇦🇷
Beautiful Deepak.
Very nice.
Ce dar de la natura, cit talent, cita sensibilitate, cita eleganta, cita finete, ce viata lunga!! Nimeni nu va mai fi la fel..mare pierdere!!
I'll miss you, Mister Belafonte. Nelson Mandela died 2 days after my son passed away (aged 15). Now, you all are together. You're the kind of people I can't forget. See you in 2060?
Thank you for all the joy you gave us.
Vous êtes l'immense monsieur Belafonte point merci pour votre œuvre musicale, votre talent, et vos combats. Reposez en paix.

As a West Indian Harry Belafonte's lyrics bring the formative years of my life in the Caribbean into my mind.
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
As morning breaks
The heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
❤
Thank you so much for taking time and sharing lyrics🥰🥰
Always one of my favourites.Many years ago I was given a Harry Bellafonte cassette with his most famous songs.I played it on my cassette player constantly and guess what _I am still playing it on the same cassette player to this day...Oh happy days!
Such a priceless memory to possess🌹

Saw him at Carnegie Hall in 1959. It was magic. The audience sang along a few times. Unforgettable!
Takes me back to teenage years and the way we danced to all his songs. Wonderful memories
Has such a gentle perfect tone that it is easy and delightful to sing along....
Danke für dieses Lied❤
I loved this song the very first time I heard it and I'm still loving it that much so many years after. How handsome Harry was, furthermore ! 😻
My parents had his albums.
I was a very young girl then.
So I grew up with Sir Belafonte.
Unforgetable....such a beautiful warm voice.
Wonderful and strong man.
I'll never forget him.
Thanks for all the years,Sir.
Love and greets to you and your family, from Amsterdam (NL)
My daddy's favourite song. He sang it around the house when i was a child in the late 50s. 🙏 rip dad.xx
This takes me back to my teenage years. Loved listening to Harry Belafonte then & still do💕🎶
RIP, dear Harry Bellafonte. The Lord truly gave you a beautiful long life.🙏🙏🤗🤗😘😘
During the 50’s my teen sister had a huge crush on him for his talent, looks and strength. I was around 11 and loved his songs. My mom took us to see him at the Los Angeles Greek Theater. I was mesmerized the whole evening…I was not alone in the department! He was a joy to hear and see and that memory has stay with me for 65+ years. As I grew to adulthood other music captured my attention but I grew to admire and be inspired by his integrity, his fight for human rights and the joy he brought to others. A long life well lived.
An extraordinary Singer, Actor, Entretainer, Artist, a truly courageous civil rights activist, but most of all a remarkable and mostly spiritually beautiful human being!!
How we miss you.
I remember listening to this when I was a girl and sang along with my father. I so miss my dad. 🥰RIP
I have loved this song since my teen years Still sounds very refreshing especially as it sung by the original Harry
Farewell Harry Belafonte, my father and his mother loved this song. Such a kind, gentle man, who cared greatly about human rights. A gorgeous looking man too. Hope he is now on his Island in the Sun.
This is a great favourite of my husbands .it always cheered him up before and after hospital appointments .
