    This used to be on the looped round playlist of a canteen of a place I worked at.

    Was years and years ago, but I still can't see coconut water in shops without thinking "very good for your daughter", or think that it's got lots of iron and makes you strong like a lion.  Funny what sticks in your head.

    RIP.

    Blimey. I assumed he'd died decades ago. My Nan was a big fan of his and she died 25 yrs ago

    I think you might be confusing Harry Belafonte with Sidney Poitier. 

    RIP Harry - a real talent, and a good man.
