Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte was awsome before you were born.

Harold George "Harry" Belafonte, Jr. (originally Belafonete; born March 1, 1927) was a famous calypso singer in the days when you didn't exist and your parents hardly remember. He is perhaps best known for being the calypso frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival for one month in 1984. He is now the leader of a huge political movement in America, calypso. He is the president and founder of the American Calypso Party, a group of Caribbean immigrants who have nothing to do with anything. The fact that you even stumbled across this article is an amazing feat in itself. Who the hell is Harry Belafonte anyway?

Biography

Belafonte was born in some place in the Carribean when your grandparents were doing the Charleston. Belafonte was influenced by shitty reggae music in his early life, but eventually settled on calypso music, the kind that Bob Marley doesn't sing.

Creedence Clearwater Revival

In 1983, the Miami Hurricanes won their first ever National Championship. CCR's calypso singer at the time, Sebastian the Ibus (Best known as the mascot for the Hurricanes) unexpectedly left the band to return to Miami, ending a 9 year run with the band.

John Fogerty looked desperatley for a calypso frontman in early 1984, but to no avail. When Belafonte released his hit single, Day-O, Fogerty noticed his talents and Belafonte was recruited by the band.

In an infamous 3-week stay, Belafonte had the shortest experience with the band than any other person in the history of everything. After a few days of practice, drummer Ben Stein noted that he was no longer interested in performing with the band and wished to go solo in acting. A Cowboy, the group's bassist, also wished to begin an acting career with his brand new time machine. A flustered Fogerty decided it would be best to disband the band(Haha).

Stein became a hit boring person and the Cowboy successfully went back in time and starred in many Western specials. Belafonte teamed up with Fogerty and began successful political careers as right-wing hotheads.
