HARRY BELAFONTE – 95 YEARS OLD

When it comes to classic icons in the music scene, Harry Belafonte’s name always appears on the list. He was one of the most successful pop artists in history and he was the reason behind the rise of Caribbean-inspired music in the international mainstream music scene. During the height of Harry’s career, he was named “The King of Calypso” after his album reached a milestone of the first million-selling LP by an individual artist.

His personal life is also as colorful as his professional career. Harry needed help from a divorce attorney twice after two failed marriages and at an expected time, he found his third wife and their relationship seems to be going in the right direction. Belafonte, now in his 90s, wanted to make an impact on America and its culture, and thanked music for giving him a platform to voice his views.
