Belafonte plans album for 90th

Harry Belafonte is turning 90 in a few weeks, and he’s planning to use the milestone to release an album that will underscore part of his life’s work: fostering racial harmony.

A multi-ethnic children’s choir will perform a new version of his classic “Island in the Sun” for a new anthology of his music, “When Colors Come Together: The Legacy of Harry Belafonte,” set for release Feb. 24.

He co-wrote the song for the 1957 film “Island in the Sun.”

“The differences that exist between us should be things that attract us to one another, not alienate us from one another,” Belafonte, who turns 90 on March 1, said in a release.

A longtime civil rights activist, Belafonte is an honorary co-chair of Saturday’s Women’s March in Washington.
