Harry Belafonte Dead at 96

- “He cared about the disenfranchised and entertained us at the same time,” Michael Des Barres says

Harry Belafonte, the singer, actor and activist known as “The King of Calypso,” died April 25 in New York of congestive heart failure, the Associated Press reports.

He was 96.

“May the great Harry Belafonte rest in love and peace,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.

With such hits as “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and “Jamaica Farewell,” Belafonte was also an actor and activist. He was a friend of Martin Luther King Jr. and a tireless advocate for civil rights and societal justice.

“He cared about the disenfranchised and entertained us at the same time,” Michael Des Barres said of Belafonte.

A “heartbroken” Al Sharpton eulogized Belafonte as “a history-changing activist, a culture-changing entertainer and an unmatched intellectual,” in a post on social media.

“You were the brightest star in every sense of that word,” Angélique Kidjo said on social media.

“Your passion, your love, knowledge and respect for Africa was unlimited and unmatched. You have helped and supported so many … and I am grateful for all the advice and all the love you gave me. Your wisdom made me strong and your music inspired me.”

The music also inspired Al Di Meola, who was listening to Belafonte “way before Elvis and the Beatles.

“I remember listening to Harry Belafonte on the radio, noticing the different sound he had compared to what else was playing,” the guitarist wrote on Facebook. “What a legend.”

“We lost a big one,” Taj Mahal said.
