    Oh my god, his sensitivity and artistry. The beauty is too much. I can’t stop crying. We have lost one of the greatest artist-activists of my lifetime. 💔😭

    Very much different from many of his concerts.

    Throughout his career he recorded over five hundred and thirty five melodies.- a vast number to choose from and in this program he chose very wisely..

    Il y a dans ce concert, à 32 minutes 30 secondes du début, la plus prenante version que j'aie entendue de la chanson "The Partisan" reprise par Leonard Cohen. Tout le reste n'est pas moins qu'une très belle trace musicale de l'année 1959 pour qui s'intéresse au passé. À vous de voir.

    I love Harry but in my opinion, the song "Old King Cole" hurt his voice which later began to show up in later years. But I always was and will always be a huge HARRY BELAFONTE fan. I love these videos and give many thanks to Menno Dreischor !!! FANTASTIC CHANNEL !!!

    Beautiful, sentimental, and so sad, since I was too troubled to really be young. Plan to be a late bloomer!
    Was Harry Belafonte a harmonious and happy man? One would think so, but appearances may deceive. Cf clowns or Robin Williams. Although with him, I did think he might be depressed under that extreme humour-creating activity.
