Logo for The Archive Hour - Harry Belafonte at 80

Stephen Evans talks to the celebrated singer about his life in music and on the political battlefront. In 1956, Belafonte's Calypso became the first album to sell over a million copies. Whilst it brought huge international fame and celebrity, it also gave him the financial means to further his ambitions as a political and social activist.
