Mr BelaFonte has so many talents & he's not given props for contributing so much for our entertainment. "Buck and the Preacher" makes me lol every time I C it. Mr BelaFonte has produced, directed, 🌟 N & a host of other stuff. He is also a giver to countless non-profit organizations. What a beautiful brown man!

This was already famous. and popular before it was used in the Bettlejuice movie. The song was called "Banana boat", but some people tend to refer to it as Day-O!

Now I've got this tune stuck in my head! "Me said day, day-ayyy, day-ay ay oh..."

I enjoyed Henry Belafonte's music of the banana boat, and he was a wonderful person for the Civil Rights Movement.

The song is Jamaican, but I believe Mr. Belafonte is Bahamian...

I used to sing this when I was a little girl, as well as other Harry Belefonte songs. My parents had all his albums. My favorites were, Matilda and Momma look a Boo Boo (it was so funny)!
