5/5

BUT, let us see the finish of the song with Sidney and others reaction.... cut out the middle of the song if need be but the crescendo and audience reaction is key to the songs performance.

Belefonte did the singing for sidney poitier in Lilies of the Field because Poitier was tone deaf and COULD NOT SING, Rainbowsmom1

[glennfordfan]

fantastic song, did harry belafonte ever record this song. can you imagine sidneys version with a choir backing him.

@Rainbowsmom1 lol sidney is actually clinically tone-deaf. the producers of Lillies of the Field hired someone to sing the song for him. He can only lipsync
