[parvezjakson]

Harry Belafonte!

[hondacivic38]

He is the King of calypso. you dont find stuff like this anymore.

[jdewitt77]

Beautifull song but kind of sad.I 've been to the Caribbean many times and love those many islands and the very nice people.

[TheHitDetector]

What a beautiful superb track....This artist has such a brilliantly professional voice

[jamescfc1]

Oh Hampden in the sun, Celtic seven, Rangers one...

[1950sTeddyboy]

Have yet to find the End of Film on You Tube

With Harry Belafonte walking down long island road

Title Song Playing : After he realises & Explains

It is best to be Big Cog on a Small Island

Than to be a Small Cog in Large Country

Cheers The UK Forever TeddyBoy

It's beautifully clear, seemingly effortless

[VoodooJungle]

Harry Belafonte , one of the best vocalists ever be , with such a warm and powerful voice .

[springcolley]

My heart aches for my little Island when I hear this song

[joliphantful]

Great voice, put the politics aside,just for once, and just listen.

[Taliesynful]

When I was in primary school, we used to sing this in assembly. It brings back some wonderful memories x

[MaraJunnaya]

When I was little my dad always played Harry Belafonte's songs, and whenever I listen to them I think of him. If anything ever happened to him, I don't think I could ever listen to these songs anymore.

[Bugalooob]

Jamaica was the great Island in the sun many years ago, now its a big shthole

[sheltv100]

@Bugalooob I know, I used to go to school there for two years. I was insecure traveling around the island. All thanks to all this repression that people impose on themselves and each other. There are nice people in Jamaica today, but the dance hall culture has contributed to all this breakdown in the behaviors of too many young people. At least they don't condone homosexuality in Jamaica.

[impsci2]

Great song!! Reminds me of my teenage years. One of the first movies I ever saw at the theater. I play it on my guitar now. Thanks :>)

[tomanfran]

We're doing this song in music and every time I type in 'Island in the sun' it comes up with the one by weezer

[utcaveman]

[vippatty]

brings back childhood memories of singing to Harry on the old records.... so lovely

[pescepattate]

The original is still the best well done Harry

[erudite1100]

@MrAlofbag Uncle Eric? :-)

[DarkMithras666]

I love this song but the "Since Time Begun" line always bugs me:( Belafonte (to my knowledge) is not descended from the indigenous people of the area..and since the Atlantic Slave Trade never took off until the 1500's, this means 'his' people never toiled until then...hardly since time begun:(

Even the Spanish were there before the Africans:(

Then again, he could mean it to be 'humans' in general:)

Still, a classic song, and there are verions of this song without this line:)

[evievernon]

@DarkMithras666 Many Jamaican who are descended from the Maroons can claim ancestry with the Aboriginal people who did interact with the runaway African slaves. The Europeans didn't quite wipe out everybody else before the Africans got here! Nearly but not quite!

[DarkMithras666]

@evievernon Many, but not all. Many Europeans also claim to have taken a Carib wife and can argue the same point. Fact is, by the time it got to Harry, the blood trace is to thin that it would be a mute point - like me claiming Italian heratige just because Roman invaders possibly took an ancestor for a wife many years ago. And most Caribs died of disease not war

[jonamagrahaha]

fabulous

[SeanMacOirc]

@jonamagrahaha

You sick, twisted and warped indiviual!!!!!!!

[nancyfloressantos]

Theme from the great 1957 movie "island in the Sun" starring James Mason and Harry Belafonte.

Underbar sång som inger glädje, mycket glädje.

Tack för den!

[Nattugglan7]

I hope you liked it. I could never listen to screeming music as a teenager...but music like this as my father showed me...I thought it was beautiful. :) And I grew up at an island with fisher-men and the sea all around. Remains me so of my childhood. BIG HUG for sharing!

[rockaroundtheclock56]

[cajonmoon]

Reminds me of my youth and the great music then. The days when singers really sang.

[7777Lotus]

Dreaming in the sun and in in the moonlight - un-reachable in reality - thank you Harry Belafonte for such beautiful feelings in dreams ... ...

[Nattugglan7]

I'm crazy about older music... A little hard to listen to all "screeming" today. =/ I like happy and calm music.

[vali28092809]

I love it too. It makes me calm.

[Nattugglan7]

@vali28092809  Yes...I also like listening to Jim Reeves,Dean Martin and some other from that time when I was a little girl :) So many memories...

[Lincoln2wells]

Boy, does this ever take me back! To about 1957 or so, when the world was a much more sunny and mellow place. Thanks!!

[middletech]

This should of been the national anthem of Antigua.

[rubaska11]

Szeretem ezt a zenét !
