Harry Belafonte & Friends
Probably the first site I remember finding on the internet belongs to Åke Holm in Sweden. A very extensive discography of not only Mr. B., but people he performed with.
His website also contains sections on memorabilia, videos, and books, etc.

Another long-standing site - in Japan, Haruo Funatsu first saw a Belafonte concert on TV when he was 10.
And live the next time he came to Japan. And like many of us - showed up to every concert he could after that.

Our friend Albert put an incredible amount of work into this site - which, according to the WayBackMachine was active from 2001 to 2022. It disappeared when the internet provider that hosted the site went out of business.
But I am honoured to say that the plan is to relocate all his work here - under our Canadian Tribute banner.
Sites of days gone by
There are a few other sites I feel I should mention from way-back-when...
- If you looked up Mr. B. between, oh, 1998 and 2010-ish, my site would have been very close if not at the the top of the Google list. It was called in part, a-site-of-sites - simply, links to many others. I lost the domain name accidentally through a series of mishaps on my and my service-provider's side. What can I say - the internet was young.
- There was one from France - I think by a woman named Marie-France? Lost contact a long time ago, but if anyone knows anything, would be appreciated!
- and Frédérique Roberge (1927-2015) was a dedicated Mr. B follower - and I remember, quite a poet. She maintained a tribute site about Mr. B. on WebTV. Her passion ran deep.
