Harry Belafonte, activist and entertainer, dies at 96

芸能, 訃報

ハリー・ベラフォンと言われてすぐに曲が出てこなくなっている自分。

Spotifyで聞くと真っ先に出てきたのは「バナナボート」。ああ、これだね、これ。南国って感じ。70年代？薄ら覚えだな。リアルに聞いたのかは定かでない。

ご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。

Harry Belafonte has died at age 96. He was a dedicated activist and award-winning actor and singer. He sold millions of records and starred on stage and screen before scaling back his career and becoming a relentless supporter of civil rights and other causes. Belafonte not only participated in protest marches and benefit concerts, but helped organize and raise support for them. He worked closely with his friend and generational peer the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., often intervening on his behalf with both politicians and fellow entertainers. He died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at his New York home.
