It comprises 3 songs in one. It was written by Webb after a heart breaking Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. Jimmy is 74 BTW very much with us and Son Of A Preacher Man. Thee only other song that comes close to MCPark is Nights In White Satin by my favourite group, The Moody Blues plus Gordon Ligftfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy.

@@glenfordburrell1076 - I’m rather intolerant of alcoholics and found your comment a little too comforting. I had thought you felt as I do! I do not like alcoholics (in general) but there is something about a proud drunk that I find intolerable. The kind of drunk who wakes up on their front lawn having never quite made it to their front door after driving home. Harris once famously boarded a train solely to take advantage if its bar and ended up in Leeds at 3:00 in the morning. So, of course, when he stumbled onto a house, he did the only sensible thing: He threw a brick through the front window. The startled owner came out with a baseball bat ready to kill the offender. However, once recognizing Harris…invited him in. Harris made himself at home for 4 days having been drunk the entire time. When this man’s wife finally called Harris’s wife, she announced that she HAD her husband here at her house. Mrs. Harris responded “Good! You can have him!” This all explains the obvious. We tolerate this alcoholic because he’s famous. Had he been anyone else, do you think he’d be invited to stay for 4 days? Both you and this couple and nearly everyone in this room make the same mistake: They become enablers of a fantastically ugly man who got away with his stupidity ONLY because he was Richard Harris, the celebrity. Much like Donald Trump…you think you know him because you saw him on tv or on a movie screen! Neither of these men ever cared about anybody but themselves!

Compare this to the standard for singers today. How he feels the words when he sings. Not the superficial act of merely singing to sing. How he expresses himself. Not performs for others. His enthusiasm and joy. Not just standing there as if a cardboard box

Sure we can, it’s just that there’s a bigger market for rap and other swill. The record companies only desire to turn profits so they put their money and efforts into what the majority are buying. Anyone today willing to find talent the likes of Richard Harris and Jimmy Webb can certainly put up their money and time to record, market and promote them for others to enjoy are certainly free to do so.

Pop, like any other entertainment is a profit-making industry, favourite musicians come and come, but whilst they're in favour they will milk it for all its worth and good on 'em, their career is short and the public's loyalty shorter. To ignorantly state that ALL music produced today is utter crap, simply because it does not fit into your narrow teenage and time limited view is indeed bigotted and infantile.

Richard Harris is a Genius . A Great Artist ( Singer , Actor and all around Performer ) Elvis Presley sang a song that Richard Sang Called "My Boy". Richard sang this so well, But it didn't get much Air Time from the radio DJ's . Elvis sang it in 1975 - pretty big hit for him and Elvis fans love this song. Elvis always gave credit to Richard Harris when he introduced this song from the stage, while in concert. Richard Harris was a Great Artist and McArthur Park is such a Classic Song . Thanks for getting out to us The Fans - Great Job
