[muhamuha4]

Happy Birthday Mr.Belafonte

[KeithWasHere1]

[Fletchisawesome]

Belafonte is the Dekker of calypso.

[ganymedes62]

There's a better version, but this one is still timeless :D

[ninnefinne69]

So many years,but not for nothing!!!

[kamiina1000]

Tämäkin niin ihana...

[misu59romania]

nu va mai naste asa voce si cantaret

[fanofprotopic]

never heard this song before I watched "Thank God It's Friday"

[guitarist97ify]

my name is Mathilda xD

[NellyBananas]

Check out Harry calling out specific member of the crowd way before any rapper did.  What a fucking G. My dude right there.

[hotcocosk8er]

Belafonte so sexy

[Gwenverf]

my father used to come home from work singing this coming in the door such great memories

[SuperBudgieSmuggler]

my dad use to have this song on cassette :) my sister and me use to listen to it constantly when we were in the car :)

[MrAxxxel31]

Jajaj grande se la canto a mi mamá jajaja

[BadNews88]

New to me,as I've only owned the 'Live At Carnegie Hall' LP. (A childhood fave).

Thanks for this, m8...

[say3timesbeetlejuice]

I Just watched the Most inspirational documentary show on HBO titled Sing your Song ... Life story of this amazing man Harry Belefonte . This man was not afraid to shake things up as an Awesome Artist a Civil rights activist , Humanitarian, Political activist never giving up Hope for mankind... We are the world keep Paying it Forward everyone !! it matters it really does. <3

[ccaammiiittoo1]

All right. I give up. Will someone out there please help me. I've followed this consummate artists career, beginning when he was married to Marguerite Byrd, mother to Adrienne and Shari. Then he married Dunham dancer, Julie Anne Robinson, mother to David and Gina. Now, here comes the place where I need help. Just who is this Pamela Frank and where does she come in? Wiki's of no help at all!!!

[say3timesbeetlejuice]

@ccaammiiittoo1 I just watched an HBO special about Mr. Harry Belefonte. Title I believe is Sing your song a Must watch very inspiring. at the end he spoke of his 3rd wife I believe this is her Pamela frank she was/is a famous photographer that has taken many photos where Harry has traveled Africa & such...Hope this helps :D

[ccaammiiittoo1]

@say3timesbeetlejuice Thank you. But those of us who've followed his brilliant career still wonder (no disrespect for Ms. Frank) what became of Julie Anne Robinson, perhaps the only lead caucasian dancer with the Katharine Dunham Dance Troupe for years. Robinson is as important to us as Belafonte is since she weathered many of storm with him as Ms. Belafonte. So she can't be summarily dismissed. When did they divorce and why? And where is Miss Robinson now?

[vlyman9]

@ccaammiiittoo1 read his new book. explains all.

[ccaammiiittoo1]

@vlyman9 Thank you for the information. 

[Jabajan1]

prefer this to vybz kartel anyday. Kartel cyant touch this

[xkociex]

With Belafonta's music even winter in Europe is colourful. :)

[attibabal]

1975, pik-up, discuri de vinil, 11 si o fata la o reunine pionerească, invățam să dansez...profa de Geogra era Matilda!

[1941meeka]

This man was soooo talented - a gift to all of us.

[retrowind12]

Wow she ran Venezuela off 500 dollars? American currency must be strong in those parts. Nah, just joking; amazing song.

@comandantecalicut hola,me podrias decir la diferencia entre Matilda,Coconut Woman y Jamaica Farewell? porque son iguales!

[comandantecalicut]

@gamesplaystation1 Bueno todos los temas de calipso son muy parecidas y siguen pautas muy parecidas pero escuchando los 3 temas no me parece que sean iguales la verdad, pero son tres canciones con algunos momentos similares. Gracias por el comentario

[gamesplaystation1]

@comandantecalicut gracias por responder sabes lo que pasa que antes de escuchar estos 3 temas que te dije escuche una cancion que salen los 3 temas combinados y me confundi

[ivanjsira]

Matilda agarró mi dinero y se fue a Venezuela (Matilda took get my money and ran to Venezuela) Tremendo musico y cantante además es mejor representante de la Musica del caribe.

[jfontalba]

@SonnyTheWhiteDwarf maybe Harry had so much money on his pillow that it was enough to run a 3rd world country, or maybe he's singing in creole

[alessiobareggio]

[BigBlueBeast]

[alp6461]

[bourgeois3256]

This song must be from Trinidad and Tobago because of its reference to Venezuela...from where else would Matilda be able to run off to Venezuela? My teacher/band leader has been trying to get us to play this song for years in our steel pan band...glad I could finally hear the original.

[illspiritual]

Every time I hear Harry B. it reminds me of my grandparents and how they used to throw cocktail parties with their friends from church and get all wasted and dance around the house.

[MrsDylan1]

[SamBlob]

There's a song in Jamaica to this tune called "Buy A Tramcar" about a country man who saw a tramcar in Kingston and bought one from a con man (or "ginnal" as we call them).

Miss Lou also used to sing "Happy Birthday" to this tune on the children's show "Ring Ding"

[woodsbike]
