“Sometimes people stop me in the street and ask me eef I am Harry Belafonte. When I say no, they get mad and walk away.”

But every time I went into my argument about how bad a picture was, they'd say, 'well, it's making a fortune.”

“A man walks down the street
It’s a street in a strange world
Maybe it’s the third world
Maybe it’s his first time around …
He looks around around
