HARRY BELAFONTE

We all know the well-talented Jamaican-American singer Harry Belafonte, who has made his mark on the wall of success. Recently, he has been spending most of his time being an activist and committing to causes. Being in his 90s, we hope he has made decisions into getting a good retirement and insurance plan. Belafonte was known for his version of the Jamaican folk song entitled The Banana Boat Song, or lyrically known as Day-O.

The musician also ventured into acting after he was cast on different films, such as Bright Road, where played the role of Mr. Williams, a school principal of the elementary school in Alabama where black students were enrolled. His great acting talent racked up him up a total of three Academy Awards in 1961, 1966, and 2000. In addition to his many endeavors, Belafonte is also known for his humanitarian activism and became one of the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors in 1987.
