Heute verstarb im Alter von 96 Jahren Harry Belafonte, ein ganz feiner Mensch. "Try to remember" mochte ich immer am Liebsten von ihm. Danke, Harry ♡

My mother died last September. She had a Harry Belafonte album when I was little. I listen to this now and cry.

We will always remember you. Thank you for everything - for your songs, for your movies, for your political and social commitment. R.I.P🙏❤

What a gift to the world, Mr. Belafonte. You brought the protest songs of Calypso to the world stage and subsequently brought global folk music from diverse geographies, to the world. Such deep personal and emotional intelligence must have inspired you. Thank you. Rest peacefully. You have served well.❤

can you believe that voice? what an amazing pure, soft and velvet sound it has. The words are timeless and so is Mr. Belafonte's performance which makes me cry because of its beauty.

One of the most beautiful songs ever no matter who sings it. Harry is my favorite.

A song about getting old. September, autumn, is when we say goodbye to youth forever. You think you're old, but when you enter winter, close to the end of life, it's good to look back at when you were younger.

Harry Belafonte is such a distinctive artist, so eloquent when he speaks, and equally eloquent when he sings. This is just incredibly beautiful.

Gänsehaut PUR.... Was für eine wunderbare STIMME Welche AURA Was für eine wunderbare PERSÖNLICHKEIT HARRY BELAFONTE ❣

How could anybody not like this? His voice is so soulful and soothing. I love it.

I haven't heard this song for so long. It's certainly a pleasure to hear it again after some 25 odd years. Now that I am in the autumn of my life, this song certainly has a lot more meaning. God bless everyone who had the great fortune of growing up with such great singers as Belafonte, Sinatra, Beatles, Elvis, Streisand, ABBA, etc.

What a beautiful song....brings back memories of my childhood. What a voice.

May his resting place be as tender and mellow as the Septembers he sang about. 🧡

This man. This Voice. This song. WOW.

I love the way he lags so much behind the beat. Trying to remember can't be more explicit than sung that way. What a great performer indeed !

"Gold" never tarnishes. I once went to a concert when he sang this song. His talent branded my heart, and I loved this song...and still do. And too, him. He still lives through his music and I Remember.

Encore une fois merci Ronald White pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2024 comme en 1962. 62 ans et toujours pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) ! Ce morceau est sur ma playlist depuis 1994 et n'est pas prêt d'en sortir.

This is the voice of my youth.. just amazing...

Harry, this is THE rendition of this exquisite song; no other singer OR version can even come close....it is absolutely FANTASTIK!

Background singer Arthur Williams. Amazing Tenor. My Mentor

I never understood or appreciated this song as a child. It has such beautiful meaning to me now. Thank you Mr. Belafonte. Your music lives on...

One of his signature songs. Will be ninety -four on Monday,March 1 . G- d bless him

Dieses Lied wurde auf der Beerdigung meines Freundes gespielt. Ich kannte es schon vorher,aber als ich das an diesem Tag überraschenderweise hörte, liefen mir so sehr die Tränen...R.I.P. Lui

This is one of the songs deeply engrained in my childhood memories....even though I was born after Belafonte recorded this cover, it was an integral part of my growing up. I'm getting all nostalgic...and obviously, the song's lyrics is only increasing the nostalgia!!

Probably my favorite singer of all time. My late dad had three of his albums in the early 1960’s and I have been listening to him since I was10; I am now 64. I do prefer his elegant, restrained style of this period of his life and career. As he aged, and his stardom grew, his stage style became more produced and his voice heavier and raspier. The young Belafonte was one of a kind, and so versatile.

One of my favorite songs and such a beautiful one. It brings me to another time and place.

Magnifique voix douce et grave ... pleine de tristesse et de charme ...

I am Finnish people and we finnish peoples likes Harry Belafonte! He was been many times in Helsinki and Turku here in Finland!

sans doute l'une des plus belles chansons jamais créée... tant pour la musique que pour les paroles... et cette interprétation est si émouvante! magnifique! merci!

A man with a voice. Beyond beautiful.

Une chanson magnifique, une voix à vous donner des frissons, un chanteur que l'on n'oubliera jamais

Formidable chanson,voix (la deuxième quelle trouvaille!) et l'accompagnement superbe! Bravo HARRY.

The Most Mellow Voice Ever. Saw him live in the late 60's and again early 70's. Phenomenal voice and performer.

i just heard this for the first time on a compilation CD, came on when I was driving to work, was in floods of tears, had to park up the car, I recently lost my partner in such sad circumstances, beautiful song.

RIP Mr. Belafonte. Thank you for all the beautiful music.

Definitely one of the greatest voice of all time singing such a touching, emotional song. I usually don't rate artist against each other but no one sings this song like Mr Belafonte. From the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸

LYRICS: Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember then follow Follow Try to remember when life was so tender When noone wept except the willow Try to remember when life was so tender When dreams were kept beside your pillow Try to remember when life was so tender When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember then follow Follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Without a hurt the heart will hollow Deep in December It's nice to remember The fire of September that made you mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow Follow

Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world will always remember Harry! RIP ! Thanks for the cool songs!

I remember being young and seeing harry belafonte twice. first time was in central park.he was on a bicycle and his very young daughter was with him. second time was at the Palace theatre,on broadway,where he performed and was a smash hit.america owes Harry Belafonte so much.

I was 3 when I fell in love with Harry Belafonte; I am 57 now and still in love with him.

Such a beautiful song that does captures the decades of our lives. This was also Audrey Hepburn's favorite from what I understand.

An absolutely beautiful song and rendition. Almost brings me to tears.

Have enjoyed Harry Belafonte's rendition of this nostalgic song for many, many years. Hearing it again recalls the same feelings it engendered some 50 years ago.

j'ai conquis le coeur d'un homme en chantant cette chanson. Cela dure depuis trente ans...

Awesomely beautiful... I forgot how warm and soothing Harry's voice was. This is my favorite version of this wonderful song.

I saw him do this live years ago ...amazing, goosebump, tears ...the best version by far!

Heard it live when I turned 18, at a concert in Amsterdam. 24 years ago... what an artist!

This was one of my mother's favorites, and she has been dead for many years now. Tried to find in Sept to share with my husband, and he recognized and said his Dad used to sing this ( even though we are from different cultures and languages)!

Thank you to Ronald White for this video. Harry Belafonte was one of my favourite singers when I was a child his beautiful mellow voice was always soothing. Being able to still hear and see, the virtuosos of yesterday is a wonderful thing especially for later generations.

Straight from the soul. This interpretation touches me deeply, every time.

Beautiful performance sung from the heart.

Excellent rendition. Harry's timing is so magnificent. I think exactly this version of 'Try to remember' will be played at my funeral.

Trop rare Harry Belafonte des débuts. Merci !

Simply a great singer and a great song. Fantastic and specific.

I had the huge luck that my Mama who loved him so much took me to his concert in 1978. Love you, Sir, with all of my heart, not only because of your music... Whished you knew how much you mean to me. I remember so well. It helps now in this cold. Thank you, Sir

Heartfelt, so beautiful and velvety voice! What a great performance. Thanks so much for sharing these precious moments. With love from Canada, Evy

What a beautiful and memorable performance.

So beautiful and so dam sad. Brings back many lovely memories of past loves, old friends and family. Thank you MR. B

Un grand merci !

This song never gets old !! She is always as wonderful and romantic as at the first day !!! Great singer !! Many thanks.

What a voice, what timing ! Beautiful arrangement. "Fantastick" musicians in the dark background as well. Thank you for the music.

The most beautiful rendition of this timeless, whimsical piece. Belafonte sings this so beautifully I am close to tears.

I remember my mother would sing this...I woke up remembering today and posting this and the lyrics on my Facebook. Lost Dad this year but still have Mom. Moments to treasure. I never imagined how hard losing Dad would be.

amazing song. Thanks Mr Hary Bellafonte

MR HARRY BELAFONTE is the full package, he's completely different, what an amazing all rouder SUPERSTAR, THE FIRST SINGER TO WIN THE GRAMMY AWARDS back in those day's it was AKA the Gramphone awards. THE BLACKSTONES

THE GREATEST SINGER OF THEM ALL

Mon Dieu ! Quelle Beauté et Grâce Divine se dégagent de par sa voix et sa prestance ! C'est ça le Vrai Talent ! Un Enchantement à chaque fois....Merci Mr Harry Belafonte pour c'est instant de Grâce ...

A pleasure to listen...brings nostalgia. The words are clear and loud!!

Un feu de bois sur une plage des Caraïbes, que tu n'as jamais visité, mais avec ta famille ou un amoureux, un éternel endroit où se retrouver juste par la magie de cette voix.

Hauntingly beautiful."Without a hurt, the heart is hollow." Only if our own hearts have ever been hurt , can we know how to truly love another.One of the best songs ever written.

So touching all the way,thank you Mr Bellafonte !

this song is really great, thank you for give it here!

This live performance is my favorite.Thank you very very much for posting.

Listen to Harry Belafonte all my life . Loved all his songs . He is handsome too. 😊

"..Try to remember when life was so tender that dreams were kept beside your pillow.." Love the absolutely unsung Sir Harry Belafonte, R.I.Paradise, see you when I get there.

Wonderfull. I remember with love, this song and great H. Belafonte

Despite my visual impairment, I am happy that my hearing is still perfect. So that I can continue to enjoy harmonious sounds. This is a beautiful duet.

wow, nunca había escuchado a este cantante, pero ahora sé por qué era tan famoso. ¡qué duende tiene! thank you for sharing Mr. W.

Magnifique!

The very best rendition of this song always brings a tear to my eyes. Let.Melendez

Best Song - wenn man einen Menschen verabschieden muss, da laufen die Tränen ungehindert, so schön wie traurig den Song kennt ja auch nicht jeder so .... best wishes for all that know and see

Our math teacher sung this at our grades overnight camp, for the talent show. And somehow, I felt like I recognized the song. Now that I hear it, I don’t think I ever heard it, but somehow it’s still nostalgic. I do still miss the days when I was just a freewheeling kid. I guess I’m still a kid, though.

Love this man.

There are six different recordings by Harry Belafonte of this song. This one was from the very rare album BEL-1 recorded in Stockholm, Sweden 1966 for a beneficiary concert for Martin Luther King.

just wonderful : by far the best version - Harry Belafonte !

Harry could do so much with the many sounds and styles of his vocal ability. Sensational!

mon dieu que c'est beau!

He's still with us - wonderful!

goosebumbs and warm tears. thank you

Love that voice❤️❤️❤️

Most beautiful song ever.

This is what I call real music!

Merci Ronald White pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2022 comme en 1982. 40 ans et pas une ride ! La France aussi adore. Une époque où l'on savait encore faire des slows.

Rappelons nous de nos souvenirs ... premier Amour ... si tendre si beau .. je t ai dans ma vie aujourd'hui et ça c'est fou ... ❤

This song always brings tears to my eyes. ♥
