Sorry to delay such a pretty cool guy. People still know his “Banana Boat Song” to this day. I often hear it at the local hockey games and it was a key scene in Beetlejuice. Harry had a great episode of The Muppet Show too. Unique Muppets to go with his music and singing.
He was more than just an entertainer too. He pushed for Civil Rights for the numerous Black Americans being mistreated and then some to help others getting the shaft.
Thanks for everything sir! I may be a generation or so behind on knowing your music yet I know you via movies and am grateful for all you did.
