Harry
Belafonte’s autobiography My
Song is as vibrant and full of rhythm as the man himself. From his
childhood in Harlem and Jamaica, to skyrocketing as the “King of
Calypso”
with hits like Day-O, to standing shoulder-to-shoulder
with
Martin Luther King Jr. in the fight for civil rights — Belafonte’s life
is a
melody woven with courage, artistry, and activism. The book is filled
with
behind-the-scenes stories, star-studded encounters, and the passion of
a man
who used his voice not only to sing but to demand change. It’s equal
parts
music, history, and inspiration — a reminder that one life can
strike
many powerful chords.
