1:14Now PlayingA look back at "Calypso" star Harry Belafonte's career as a singer, actor and activist.

Harry Belafonte, the "King of Calypso" who became one of America's endearing and enduring civil-rights activists into his 10th decade, has died. He was 96. Belafonte died Tuesday at his home in New York of congestive heart failure, his spokesperson Ken Sunshine confirmed to The New York Times and the Washington Post.
Belafonte will be remembered as one of the most popular entertainers of the 20th century, as a singer, musician and actor. But his civil-rights work in the 1960s and his anti-apartheid work in the 1980s will be just as poignant.
