Remembering #HarryBelafonte through his signature song.

“Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Stack banana 'til de mornin' come
Daylight come and me wan' go home”

1* Baby Huey - Hard Times (1971) ✊🏽
"Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare
People all around me and they're all in fear
They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits
From my party house, I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
So I play the part I feel they want of me
And I pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me"

2* Dalida - Pardon (1958), magnifique reprise d'El Reloj🕰️, pour un "tic-tac de tristesse"

3* Jimmy Rodgers - Hobo's meditation (1932) 👼🏽
"Will there be any freight trains in heaven?
Any boxcars in which we might hide?
Will there be any tough cops & brakemans ?
Will they tell us that we cannot ride?"

4* Ray Stanley - I can't wait ⌚ (1957), super morceau rockab où le slap de la contrebasse évoque bien le temps qui passe

5* أسمهان - إمتى حتعرف (1944) 💘
Asmahan - Emta Hata'raf, présent dans le film Love and Revenge

6* The Unrelated Segments - Story Of My Life (1966) 📖

7* Roscoe Holcomb - I Wish I Were A Single Girl Again 😔 (1960)
merci à Roscoe le falsetto de n'avoir pas changé le genre et du coup le sens du morceau
