Whether or not you're a fan of the fruit, "Cocoanut Woman"—complete with its glorious gang vocals on the "coconut!" chant—can appeal to almost anyone.
Before Beyoncé and Blue Ivy teamed up with SAINt JHN and Wizkid, Belafonte delivered "Brown Skin Girl." The sweet melody, restrained vocals and soft guitar may camouflage the message: A searing protest against American colonization and exploitation of Black Caribbean women and the land on which they lived.
Whether or not you agree with the song's sentiment (ahem), you absolutely cannot deny that "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" is a banger. Play it at a party and see how many sing-alongs and arguments you can start. The live version is particularly fun because you can hear Belafonte chuckling at the cheeky lyrics.
You may have heard "Jamaica Farewell," a reworked classic folk song, in Barry Season 1, episode 8, or in Rabbids Go Home.
Before there was "Hit 'Em Up Style" and Blu Cantrell, there was "Matilda." Get money, girls. Related: Harry Belafonte's Net Worth
Belafonte is credited as a co-writer on "Island in the Sun," released for the film of the same name in which he starred. In 1999, 42 years after the song's release, it was adapted into a picture book.
Oh yes, Belafonte delivered his own rendition of this Jewish wedding staple. It's as glorious as it is unexpected, whether or not you're a member of the faith.
With an almost audible grin and a tone of firm resolve, Belafonte's civil rights and social justice activism are wrapped up in "This Land Is Your Land," a cover of the Woody Guthrieclassic. Related: 50 Songs About America
Talk about being ahead of his time—this precedes "Drunk in Love" by an entire generation. Related: Read an Exclusive Excerpt From Harry Belafonte's My Song
Belafonte sounds just as good when he's sad as he does when he's ready to party, as evidenced in "Suzanne (Every Night When the Sun Goes Down)."
