"Gold" never tarnishes. I once went to a concert when he sang this song. His talent branded my heart, and I loved this song...and still do. And too, him. He still lives through his music and I Remember.
can you believe that voice? what an amazing pure, soft and velvet sound it has. The words are timeless and so is Mr. Belafonte's performance which makes me cry because of its beauty.
A song about getting old. September, autumn, is when we say goodbye to youth forever. You think you're old, but when you enter winter, close to the end of life, it's good to look back at when you were younger.
I haven't heard this song for so long. It's certainly a pleasure to hear it again after some 25 odd years. Now that I am in the autumn of my life, this song certainly has a lot more meaning. God bless everyone who had the great fortune of growing up with such great singers as Belafonte, Sinatra, Beatles, Elvis, Streisand, ABBA, etc.
What a gift to the world, Mr. Belafonte. You brought the protest songs of Calypso to the world stage and subsequently brought global folk music from diverse geographies, to the world. Such deep personal and emotional intelligence must have inspired you. Thank you. Rest peacefully. You have served well.❤
Dieses Lied wurde auf der Beerdigung meines Freundes gespielt. Ich kannte es schon vorher,aber als ich das an diesem Tag überraschenderweise hörte, liefen mir so sehr die Tränen...R.I.P. Lui
When I was a teenager in the 60's, this was one of my favorite songs from the off-Broadway show "The Fantasticks". Now I'm 80 years old and this song has even more meaning and poignancy and can bring a tear to my eye. Thank you, Mr. Belafonte, and rest in peace.
This is one of the songs deeply engrained in my childhood memories....even though I was born after Belafonte recorded this cover, it was an integral part of my growing up. I'm getting all nostalgic...and obviously, the song's lyrics is only increasing the nostalgia!!
Oui, chanson magnifique ! ^^ Vous avez fait ce commentaire en 2017 : le mien est d'octobre 2019 et ... Harry BELAFONTE est toujours vivant. Il a plus de 92 ans.
sans doute l'une des plus belles chansons jamais créée... tant pour la musique que pour les paroles... et cette interprétation est si émouvante! magnifique! merci!
Have enjoyed Harry Belafonte's rendition of this nostalgic song for many, many years. Hearing it again recalls the same feelings it engendered some 50 years ago.
Encore une fois merci Ronald White pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2024 comme en 1962. 62 ans et toujours pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) ! Ce morceau est sur ma playlist depuis 1994 et n'est pas prêt d'en sortir.
Probably my favorite singer of all time. My late dad had three of his albums in the early 1960’s and I have been listening to him since I was10; I am now 64. I do prefer his elegant, restrained style of this period of his life and career. As he aged, and his stardom grew, his stage style became more produced and his voice heavier and raspier. The young Belafonte was one of a kind, and so versatile.
i just heard this for the first time on a compilation CD, came on when I was driving to work, was in floods of tears, had to park up the car, I recently lost my partner in such sad circumstances, beautiful song.
I remember my mother would sing this...I woke up remembering today and posting this and the lyrics on my Facebook. Lost Dad this year but still have Mom. Moments to treasure. I never imagined how hard losing Dad would be.
Definitely one of the greatest voice of all time singing such a touching, emotional song. I usually don't rate artist against each other but no one sings this song like Mr Belafonte. From the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸
I remember being young and seeing harry belafonte twice. first time was in central park.he was on a bicycle and his very young daughter was with him. second time was at the Palace theatre,on broadway,where he performed and was a smash hit.america owes Harry Belafonte so much.
Un feu de bois sur une plage des Caraïbes, que tu n'as jamais visité, mais avec ta famille ou un amoureux, un éternel endroit où se retrouver juste par la magie de cette voix.
Thank you to Ronald White for this video. Harry Belafonte was one of my favourite singers when I was a child his beautiful mellow voice was always soothing. Being able to still hear and see, the virtuosos of yesterday is a wonderful thing especially for later generations.
C'est France inter qui m'a amené ici. Chanson écoutée juste au réveil matinal....mais quelle voix...mais quelle voix🏝je vais de ce pas écouter island in thé Sun. Et vive les Caribbeans
MR HARRY BELAFONTE is the full package, he's completely different, what an amazing all rouder SUPERSTAR, THE FIRST SINGER TO WIN THE GRAMMY AWARDS back in those day's it was AKA the Gramphone awards. THE BLACKSTONES
This was one of my mother's favorites, and she has been dead for many years now. Tried to find in Sept to share with my husband, and he recognized and said his Dad used to sing this ( even though we are from different cultures and languages)!

Merci Ronald White pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2022 comme en 1982. 40 ans et pas une ride ! La France aussi adore. Une époque où l'on savait encore faire des slows.
Best Song - wenn man einen Menschen verabschieden muss, da laufen die Tränen ungehindert, so schön wie traurig den Song kennt ja auch nicht jeder so .... best wishes for all that know and see
I had the huge luck that my Mama who loved him so much took me to his concert in 1978. Love you, Sir, with all of my heart, not only because of your music... Whished you knew how much you mean to me. I remember so well. It helps now in this cold. Thank you, Sir
Hauntingly beautiful."Without a hurt, the heart is hollow." Only if our own hearts have ever been hurt , can we know how to truly love another.One of the best songs ever written.
❤❤❤ ich liebe dieses Lied so sehr und obwohl ich immer traurig dabei werde muss ich es mir wieder und wieder anhören natürlich nur von Harry Belafonte gesungen,!!!😊
LYRICS: Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember then follow Follow Try to remember when life was so tender When noone wept except the willow Try to remember when life was so tender When dreams were kept beside your pillow Try to remember when life was so tender When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember then follow Follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Without a hurt the heart will hollow Deep in December It's nice to remember The fire of September that made you mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow Follow
Mon Dieu ! Quelle Beauté et Grâce Divine se dégagent de par sa voix et sa prestance ! C'est ça le Vrai Talent ! Un Enchantement à chaque fois....Merci Mr Harry Belafonte pour c'est instant de Grâce ...
Despite my visual impairment, I am happy that my hearing is still perfect. So that I can continue to enjoy harmonious sounds. This is a beautiful duet.
Last year at the end of September .. my little and lovely dog died. We always stayed together.. all these days of September. So this song me makes remember of this my true and little friend..
"..Try to remember when life was so tender that dreams were kept beside your pillow.." Love the absolutely unsung Sir Harry Belafonte, R.I.Paradise, see you when I get there.
I`dont have to try to remember ;) I Wont Forget this man,his voice and all the things he stould for.When all man where like him,there would be a lot of....Peace and happyness !!
Heute verstarb im Alter von 96 Jahren Harry Belafonte, ein ganz feiner Mensch.
"Try to remember" mochte ich immer am Liebsten von ihm.
Danke, Harry ♡
My mother died last September. She had a Harry Belafonte album when I was little. I listen to this now and cry.
So sorry for your loss...
my mom is gone now for almost 30 years , she use to call me harry belafonte..
@@harryw9598 m no no

Be strong...she is here...
"Gold" never tarnishes. I once went to a concert when he sang this song. His talent branded my heart, and I loved this song...and still do. And too, him. He still lives through his music and I Remember.
We will always remember you. Thank you for everything - for your songs, for your movies, for your political and social commitment. R.I.P🙏❤

Quite right you are. Also Belefonte's rendition of of 'Scarlet ribbons' is also very remarkable.
Never gets old
@@peterbierwirth8016 ; it seems that it was Tom Jones who wrote this song
the greatness is in the melody and the chords.

A song about getting old. September, autumn, is when we say goodbye to youth forever. You think you're old, but when you enter winter, close to the end of life, it's good to look back at when you were younger.
Of course, school starts in September, so I still think of it as the start of the year.
Adevărat spus, respect!
How could anybody not like this? His voice is so soulful and soothing. I love it.
One of the most beautiful songs ever no matter who sings it. Harry is my favorite.
Harry Belafonte is such a distinctive artist, so eloquent when he speaks, and equally eloquent when he sings. This is just incredibly beautiful.
so true
May his resting place be as tender and mellow as the Septembers he sang about. 🧡
I was 3 when I fell in love with Harry Belafonte; I am 57 now and still in love with him.
What a beautiful song....brings back memories of my childhood. What a voice.
Harry Belafonte is a incredible Entertainer!!!!
Gänsehaut PUR....
Was für eine wunderbare STIMME
Welche AURA
Was für eine wunderbare PERSÖNLICHKEIT
HARRY BELAFONTE ❣

Harry, this is THE rendition of this exquisite song; no other singer OR version can even come close....it is absolutely FANTASTIK!

This is the voice of my youth.. just amazing...
I love the way he lags so much behind the beat. Trying to remember can't be more explicit than sung that way. What a great performer indeed !
Interesting point. His lagging behind the beat implies him slowly unearthing the memories of his past.
A man with a voice. Beyond beautiful.
Une chanson magnifique, une voix à vous donner des frissons, un chanteur que l'on n'oubliera jamais
Oui, chanson magnifique ! ^^ Vous avez fait ce commentaire en 2017 : le mien est d'octobre 2019 et ... Harry BELAFONTE est toujours vivant. Il a plus de 92 ans.
One of his signature songs.
Will be ninety -four on Monday,March 1 .
G- d bless him
sans doute l'une des plus belles chansons jamais créée... tant pour la musique que pour les paroles... et cette interprétation est si émouvante! magnifique! merci!
I never understood or appreciated this song as a child. It has such beautiful meaning to me now. Thank you Mr. Belafonte. Your music lives on...
One of my favorite songs and such a beautiful one. It brings me to another time and place.
The world will always remember Harry! RIP ! Thanks for the cool songs!
Have enjoyed Harry Belafonte's rendition of this nostalgic song for many, many years. Hearing it again recalls the same feelings it engendered some 50 years ago.
I am Finnish people and we finnish peoples likes Harry Belafonte! He was been many times in Helsinki and Turku here in Finland!
The Most Mellow Voice Ever. Saw him live in the late 60's and again early 70's. Phenomenal voice and performer.

I saw him do this live years ago ...amazing, goosebump, tears ...the best version by far!
Trop rare Harry Belafonte des débuts. Merci !
Heard it live when I turned 18, at a concert in Amsterdam. 24 years ago... what an artist!
An absolutely beautiful song and rendition. Almost brings me to tears.

Awesomely beautiful... I forgot how warm and soothing Harry's voice was. This is my favorite version of this wonderful song.
Excellent rendition. Harry's timing is so magnificent. I think exactly this version of 'Try to remember' will be played at my funeral.
What a beautiful idea,...that's something to think about:)
This song never gets old !! She is always as wonderful and romantic as at the first day !!! Great singer !! Many thanks.

LYRICS:
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow
Follow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When noone wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow
Follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart will hollow
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
Follow

Such a beautiful song that does captures the decades of our lives. This was also Audrey Hepburn's favorite from what I understand.
Harry could do so much with the many sounds and styles of his vocal ability. Sensational!
J'adooooore cette douceur superbe chanteur .
Most beautiful song ever.
