Theme: Remembering Harry Belafonte (1927-2023).

Harry Belafonte – the inspiring African American singer, actor, and activist – passed away from congestive heart failure on April 25 at age 96. My parents had a copy of his 1959 album, Belafonte at Carnegie Hall and I listened to it many hundreds of times. It was my essential introduction to folk music.
