Belafonte work will always be the movie "Island in the Sun", filmed on Grenada and Barbados in 1957. I love watching that movie, and comparing the Grenada scenes with the Grenada I came to know over a number of visits over the years, back when I used to travel. I do love that place, and would equally love to find a way to slip away to there...
I cut my educated music fanatic teeth on 3 performing artists: Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Harry Belafonte. My parents weren't musicians. They were fans. I always thought Belafonte came from the Caribbean. Nope, he was born in Harlem. That explains his support of human rights. He was a first-class human being, and performing artist. Thanks and Rec'd!!
It was Sidney Pointier in the role of the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
I get mixed-up pretty easy these days. Banana Boat is very cool.
Really helped to make the movie Beetlejuice work.
His music was great. I am a bit young to have experienced it as a child, or maybe my parents just didn't let us listen to it, but I loved getting into his music as a young adult!
So, listening to these music videos I found a link that led me down a rabbit hole to...
Banana Boat Song... in Latin!!!
