Thank you for a song that broke the chains of my religious captivity.. everything is a lot simpler… Thank you for the lessons learned through your music… Rest In Blessed Peace, and again… Thank you
Will remain etched in my heart for his USA for Africa - we are the world concert that raised hope for the hungry in Ethiopia in 1985. May your spirit live on.
This man was 'gluing humanity' in a brilliant peacefull way. Always did ever since (I remember) 1959... words are never enough for this genious peacefull human being!!!
We are of the spirit. One of my favorite piece of Mr. B's. Turn the World Around! So true. Richard Bona is wonderful always with such soulful richness the reaches down into the depths. RiParadise Mr. B. You will always live on. Such a great concert Live! 👑 ❤✨
The Muppets that are singing with him on the show were built for that song and performance specifically and Belafonte subsequently performed it at Jim Henson’s funeral. I love this song.
Just like Jim Henson (R.I.P.), I would love to have this performed at my memorial service when my days are over, preferably during the banquet. What better way to remind people that life goes on for everyone else?
That's better than my mom's idea for hers...she wants to be cremated and her ashes spread on a dance floor and danced on...basically in celebration of her life she doesn't want any sadness...yeah you're my mom of course I'll be sad
my music teacher show me this when i was the only one there when i was in 4 grade now in 8th still remember this song, idk if my music teacher is still alive.

PRAYER FOR THE NEGROES ALMIGHTY God, we come to YOU knowing that YOU are the God of our forefathers. YOU have called us from among the world to be your people, YOU have set us apart with one intention and one intention only, and that is to be set apart from the world and to be Your people, Holy and dedicated to you. Yes, we have sin a great sin, we have gone after other gods, gods that cannot feel nor hear gods who cannot help, gods that are not touched with the feelings of our infirmity. As a result of our sin, you have allowed our enemies to enslave us, and inflict on us all sorts of atrocities. As we confess, please forgive our many sins. Our forefathers and mothers have been raped, we have lost our God, our identity, our language, and our land (Israel) and we have been killed all day long by the people who have enslaved us and by their security forces, while justice is far from us. We call upon YOU ADONAI; we call upon You, ELOHIM, the God of our Fathers. We are tired; yes we are tired of the scorns and ridicules that come our way. While others pathways are paved with gold, ours are paved with suffering. Our children were thrown to the alligator by our enemies, were hanged and they even made fun of their evil deeds by referring to them as GATOR-BATE and LYNCHING. They robbed us of our identity to the extent that we have completely lost our way, serving their gods and rejecting YOU, the only wise God. Hear our cries O' Almighty God and come to our rescue. We tried to build ourselves together and they use their weapons to abolish what we have built. We are TIRED O' God, You and You alone are our refuge. Come swiftly and avenge us, deliver us from our enemies. Restore us back to the land that they have stolen from us. We long to be a people once more, restore the twelve tribes, the tribes that are the APPLE OF YOUR EYES. Almighty God, even the Churches that call themselves, “followers of Christ”, your Holy Son show prejudice against us. SWIFTLY MOVE AND REVEAL YOURSELF STRONG, BRING SEVERE PUNISHMENT UPON THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE YOUR CALLED OUT ONES and not some man-made Europeans, who are living in our land, having no knowledge of Your LAWS. We promise that YOU delivering us will allow us to assemble back into our land, where we will offer the sacrifices of praise unto YOU. WE ARE TIRED… DRY BONES, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD AND COME ALIVE!
Hahaha! If Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, were still alive, he certainly wouldn't be playing the guitar. Steve Jobs († 56) was a pioneer in the field of digital music. With his iPod, he made MP3 files mass-produced.

A great gentleman Harry Belafonte who always did fight for Human Rights. An icon, the Calypso King with his hoarse voice and Charisma
This man was 'gluing humanity' in a brilliant peacefull way. Always did ever since (I remember) 1959... words are never enough for this genious peacefull human being!!!
WONDERFUL, I LOVE HARRY BELFONTE AND HIS MUSIC, AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Such a great concert Live! 👑 ❤✨
This song used to make me smile. Now it makes me sad. Such is life. Thank you Mr. Belafonte. Rest in peace.
Do we see one another clearly? Thank you Harry for educating through us about unity across whatever divide. We need each other.... Play fair!
Gott bitte bitte lass ihn noch lange leben danke für seine songs
My most favorite song!!!
Hearing this version for the first time and all I think is Tha people should take a good listen to this in these times that we live in
Amazing! Rest well, maestro!
Harry is een mens die mensen tot mekaar brengt,dat is te horen in zijn tekst ,geweldig.
Oh...wow. at 3:30 this does become something very special. (still a muppet show fan, but this is wonderful)
This is my favorite song of all time!
May your spirit carry on, you wonderful man.🤧🌍
I have heard many versions of this song. And this is truly a great one. But the best version ever was the one from the Muppet Show.
He performed this song at Jim Henson's funeral. Was quite moving
The Muppets that are singing with him on the show were built for that song and performance specifically and Belafonte subsequently performed it at Jim Henson’s funeral. I love this song.
It's because of the blessing of Jim Henson that we have many versions of "Turn the World Around".
⁰0 Z😊
I love Harry Belafonte and the Songs.
Just wanted to give thanks to the most high JAH (GOD) who jas being protecting ourr island from natural desasters, thank you ones more
Brilliant piece of artwork by His rRyal Majesty, King Harry Belafonte, once again!!!
Long Live the King of Calypso Music...Harry Belafonte!!!
Just like Jim Henson (R.I.P.), I would love to have this performed at my memorial service when my days are over, preferably during the banquet. What better way to remind people that life goes on for everyone else?
A Dixieland Jazzband. Which I would want done for my funeral
That's better than my mom's idea for hers...she wants to be cremated and her ashes spread on a dance floor and danced on...basically in celebration of her life she doesn't want any sadness...yeah you're my mom of course I'll be sad
Now in 2021 people are attacking Henson's muppet's. Disney is essentially calling them racist now.
Masterful! What a wonderful and joyful arrangement.
This is really music ,refined and fresh.
just discovered this track. brilliant music, high class performers. so wholesome for the soul. it sets a touching example how to deal with diversity
I sang this in 1995 senior year of high school in choir
See just how he’s managed that blending of different instrument and artists
A legend .
A treasure.

What is the language being sung by the second singer? Swahili?
Douala, by Richard Bona, from Cameroon👌
Musica country
Harry Belafonnte
This was at SUNY Purchase? I almost wound up going there for college (I'm at New Paltz instead)
I don't think that SUNY - the State University of New York - would buy the record producer of Belafonte's songs.
What is the string instrument at the beginning.... Funky sound... starts at 7 seconds approx...
Rob Monty248 berimbau.
how was this song not part of the Little Mermaid soundtrack?
yup xD
