Harry Belafonte has died at the age of 96.
Belafonte died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at his New York home, his wife Pamela by his side, said Paula M. Witt, of public relations firm Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis.
Besides singing, Belafonte was also known for his acting and as a supporter of the civil rights movement.
...
Belafonte was also remembered by the founder of Motown.
"My friend, Harry Belafonte, was truly a man of cause, conviction and principle," Berry Gordy said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Besides being a great entertainer, he was a major political activist during the Civil Rights movement. I still remember the day in 1968 when Harry and I marched side by side on the Poor People’s March to Freedom."

I had no idea Berry Gordy was still living.
NEVER like him; he was always tooooo political from the start
Any bananas in hell (or heaven?) to tally?
Party at my house! The only good commie is a dead commie. Let’s celebrate.
Daylight came and he wanted to go home.
LOL! Harry should have just shut his yap, and sang.
Just as with Barbra Streisand, a great singer; but a political bankrupt.
Yeah.
Along with David Crosby.
Now if we can get the sound clowns at the sports arenas to knock off that dumbass Daaaaayyyyy O! bull****. It’s pretty damn old and obnoxious.
😄😄😄🍷🍸🍹🤸🤸🤸
No, he didn’t want to go home; he hated this country but he never went home to Jamaica, where the ruling class would definitely be more to his liking.

Let’s get ‘er done!
“”I still remember the day in 1968 when Harry and I marched side by side on the Poor People’s March to Freedom.””
YEAH - poor old Harry. Is that the same march where John Lewis got hit in the head and made a career out of it in Congress? His sole claim to fame! I think they’ve all been hit in the head at one time or another. If they haven’t, they’re long overdue!!!!!
Hey Harry...
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
Tine to go to Dairy Queen for banana splits or an ice cream cake. We only go when theirs a reason to celebrate.
He’s in hell with his pal Fidel Castro.
His last chart hit was in 1957, so it’s amazing that he was able to remain a celebrity for so many decades afterwards.
