I find that listening to Harry Belafonte records can be up to 100 times more effective than any other form of anti-depressant available on the market.

Harry Belafonte, the singer whose dynamic a cappella shout of “Day-O!” from “The Banana Boat Song” and other music from world folk traditions propelled him to international stardom, and who used his entertainment fortune to help bankroll the civil rights movement at home and human rights causes worldwide, died April 25 at his home in Manhattan. He was 96.

All of us, we're here for a very, very short time. And in that time that we're here, there really isn't any difference in any of us, if we were to take time out to understand each other. The question is, do I know who you are? Do you know who I am? Do we care about each other? 'Cause if we do, together we can … turn the world around.

It's beautiful Steve. Do you wonder if it remembers you?
