Harry Belafonte, singer, actor, and civil rights activist, died at 96 in his Manhattan home.

One of history’s most successful African-American pop stars, he scored hits with Island In The Sun, Mary’s Boy Child, and the UK number one Day-O (The Banana Boat Song).

Belafonte died with his wife, Pamela, at his side.

His spokesman, Ken Sunshine, disclosed that the son of poor Caribbean immigrants died of congestive heart failure.
