Harry Chapin Died Today 38 Years Ago, July 16, 1981[VIDEOS]
One of the 1st concerts I went to was to see Harry Chapin, when he performed at Middlebury College in Vermont. I thought he was amazing, and still listen to his music! Harry Chapin passed away 38 years ago today, suffering a heart attack while driving in New York.
Harry Chapin is known for such hits as "Cats in the Cradle", and "Taxi". But there are also other great songs
"A Better Place to Be"
"Flowers Are Red"
"Mr. Tanner"
"All My Life's a Circle"
"30,000 Pounds of Bananas"
"W.O.L.D"
