Harry Belafonte | Born 1927

 

The King of Calypso Harry Belafonte has a stellar career in the music industry. Even at his age, Belafonte is not done with acting, let alone lending his voice as an activist for civil rights. The singer first made waves back in the 1950s with his music. He has performed in various genres like folk, musicals, and blues. Aside from that, he also appeared in films like Island in the Sun, Carmen Jones, and Odds Against Tomorrow.

There is no doubt that the singer/actor is still a strong presence in the music and acting industry. His investments in life have certainly paid off as he is living a comfortable one with his third wife, Pamela Frank. He also has four kids, Shari, David, Gina, and Adrienne.
