Subject: Harry Belafonte: Singer and civil rights activist dies aged 96
Written By: Philip Eno on 04/25/23 at 10:48 am
Harry Belafonte, the singer and actor who smashed racial barriers in the US, has died at home in Manhattan, aged 96.
One of the most successful African-American pop stars in history, he scored hits with Island In The Sun, Mary's Boy Child and the UK number one Day-O (The Banana Boat Song).
But his greatest achievements were as a campaigner for black civil rights in the US.
He died of congestive heart failure, said his spokesman Ken Sunshine.
His wife Pamela was by his side.

Weird coincidence; I was just thinking about him yesterday and his appearance on The Muppet Show in, think it was 1979:
RIP, Harry Belafonte. :\'( :\'(

This really saddens me. I know he was 96 and lived a long life but the world is poorer place without him.
