I have loved Harry Belafonte since I first heard his song Day-O in the Beetlejuice movie when I was a kid growing up. Then later finding out about all his musical & acting achievements that he discriminately made intentional choices of what he would be a part of. His artistic star power brought him the platform to speak out for social Justice that he has fought for till the day he passed away. His placement in history with Martin Luther King Jr solidified his legacy in furthering justice around the world. I also learned how to play his Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) song on my trumpet when I was first teaching my self about 14 years ago. His prominence in Calypso music was monumental with the first album selling over a million records. Calypso was very big where I went to school at Humboldt and I am sure it still a standard there. I look up to and admire Harry with all he did and what he brought to the world community. May he rest in Power peacefully.
