Sim Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 RIP Harry Belafonte, who has died at the age of 96. When I was a little girl when this song was so popular in the 60s, my mother used to sing it to me. I in turn used to sing it to my daughter when she was little and I was putting her to bed. Although how she got to sleep with me singing who knows?! 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddieRose Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 RIP Mr Belafonte. I love and still regularly watch his performance of Turn the World Around on The Muppet Show. Jim Henson considered it the best work he did on the series, and Belafonte later performed the song at Henson's memorial service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine0308 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I saw his biopic a couple years ago at Berlinale Film Festival. He came for the premiere, you could see his age in every movement but his eyes and his spirit were YOUNG. Sweet memories. He was a strong fighter for peace and justice. May he rest in peace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
