RIP Harry Belafonte.

My favourite was 'Mary's Boy Child', which I am now playing on my Alexa - although it's out of season.

Great artist. He lived to a ripe old age anyway. RIP Harry Belafonte.

His version of Mary's Boy Child was always my favourite, much nicer sounding. RIP.

Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
