    He died before i was born, but this is one of my favourites of Chapin’s. What a wonderful story teller. So emotive.

    Every song a very real story about life and the sometimes nievitable heartache and joy that comes with it. Harry was an amazing human being.

    @craighcolo I know. My comment above was regarding “Cat’s In The Cradle,” in response to a question to me that appeared on the “Taxi” video.

    @butfulmuzik Hate to tell you but “Taxi” came out in 1972. Listened to it quite a bit on my way to catch the end of ‘Nam. Check your facts………

    The story alone is enough to bring a tear to ones eye…..but when the lyrics are combined with the music…..what a beautiful….magical…masterpiece.
    God bless you Harry….for leaving us this monumental song.

    “It was raining hard in ‘Frisco…” so begins the most poignant, sad song of recent music.

    Saw Harry in ‘73,I think, in Cincy. Still letting my outside tide me,Harry,,sorry, not as brave to show the raw unguarded soul as you did and will always do. your gifts of melodious passion and the genuine social conscience may one day break down a wall made of me. Catch ya on the other side
