I was very sorry to hear about Harry Belafonte's passing yesterday. I went to my old LPs and I couldn't find the Harry Belafonte LP. Then I remembered that the Belafonte music I was thinking about was on some reel to reel tapes that I disposed of. So now I will have to comfort myself by going to You Tube and listen to some songs.
Belafonte was most popular when I started listening to my own music. I listened to much of his great music.
Belafonte was a great artist and human being. He helped to keep some of the wheels on the bus. We need many more Harry Belafontes.
Bet you could find some of his music on Ebay or even new on Amazon, in old cassette, or DVD or CD format. Linda in Kansas
