RIP, one of the greatest!
He was in his 90s and he was still fine. He was an absolute champion for the community. Devastating. 💔
RIP Icon Harry Belafonte! Thank you for your talent, hardwork, and tireless dedication to human rights!❤
I just learned today that he was born in NY instead of Jamaica. He went to Jamaica when he was 5 years old. I didn't know that he had served in the U.S. Navy until this video either.
RIP your legacy will continue and you will remain in the hearts of millions. Thank you❤
A beautiful soul

Mr. Harry Belafonte was a staple of human kindness, a trendsetter & a true pioneer for Afro-American rights. My Mother thought he was soooooo handsome & a great entertainer. May his family find peace as I convey my condolences. Also may he rest in peace as finally his work is done here. 🙏🏾❤️👼🏾
Classy, talented, intelligent, aware, wonderful entertainer and humanitarian.
He leaves us positively affected,
Well done.💖
'Jump in The Line' . . . Love you Harry, may the Lord bless and keep you . . . RIP.
His soul shone through his face RIP ❤️
Went the distance.
So many memories 🖤🙏🏿 God bless you my brother ❤ RIP 🙏
Why would anyone want to live much longer than that anyway?
Such a legacy
A truly fine man and great humanitarian. A hero and example of the best of humanity for hundreds of millions.
Truly love and will miss this legend. Such a phenomenal actor and singer "Day mi see deh mi seh day o, daylight come an mi wah go home." We love and will miss you Harry ❤😢😒😥
A truly great man, now at ease in God's glory forever. Salute to you, Harry Belafonte.
Harry, you took that final trip on that sailing ship. Rest well in God's peace. Condolences to your family.
My deepest sympathy. Thank you Sir
A wonderful tribute to a legend. Mr. Belafonte had so much class, style and dignity. I knew he was in his mid-90s, but it was still a surprise when I saw just a few minutes ago he passed away. He paved the way for many African-American performers, while playing all of his roles with pride and dignity. God bless you, Mr. Belafonte and RIP. ❤❤😢😢
May He R.I.P 🕊🙏🏽💐
RIP you amazing man ❤️
RIH king😢💔
When you take a class act and a warrior and you put them together. There you have Harry belafonte!!!!! R.I.P. Rest in power.
Racist that bitched about how much he hated the white people that made him rich his whole life.
Love him,R.I.P.
I've been a fan of this man since I was 5 years old. For every reason one can and should be a fan of this man. 🙏🏾♥️
