Harry Belafonte, trailblazing singer, actor and activist, has passed away at 96.
No one who heard it in the mid-1950s could ever forget Belafonte's warm, slightly husky voice on "The Banana Boat Song," better known as "Day-O" for the opening lyrics of the Jamaican song he recorded in 1956 on his third record, "Calypso."

Sad to hear the news, but he was quite a pioneer. As a youngster I used to listen to his "Live at Carnegie Hall" album, and still do not understand "Man Piaba." Rest in Peace/
