Synopsis: Harold George Belafonte was born in New York (U.S.A.) in 1927. His parents came from the Caribbean. Harold‘s father left the family while Harold was still an infant so the mother left for Jamaica with her small son. After several years Harry returned to New York, just before he turned eighteen.Belafonte opened a club in Greenwich Village with several of his friends, now performing as a singer in his own club. In 1954 the young entertainer landed a minor role in a film – and made a lasting impression on audiences.
