96 is a good age.



Although the Stan Freburg version sticks in my mind too.

What a voice! I loved Island in the Sun, which he part-wrote.

I loved him - lovely voice and beautiful skin that I um, wanted to stroke. :oops:

I hear you! :D I once had the honour of slow dancing with a boyfriend's buddy, who had similar skin tone to Mr Belafonte - I can confirm, the skin on his arms was the softest I have ever encountered. Yes, even softer than a baby's! 8-)

He was my mother’s favourite male singer.
