Harry Belafonte Releases New Project With Next Generation In Mind

Harry Belafonte, the revered singer, songwriter, and actor is continuing his social activism through a special album compilation called "When Colors Come Together…The Legacy of Harry Belafonte."

Released February 24 through Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, the project features many of Belafonte's biggest hits and most popular classics.
