	Harry Chapin
		Although Harry Chapin's career was cut short by an auto accident in 1981, he left behind a series of recordings that his fans continue to treasure.
		Harry bounced back in the spring of 1973 with "Short Stories", which spent 23 weeks on the album chart, due to the success of the single "W.O.L.D.", an acute observation of the life of a local disc jockey, which went on to become something of an FM radio classic.
		Even though Harry's driver's license was revoked at the time of the accident, for a long string of traffic violations, his wife Sandy did win a $12 million decision in a negligence lawsuit against truck's owners.

	Harry Chapin Biography
		Harry became enthused about the folk boom of the late 50s and 60s and played many of the folk hits of the day for his own pleasure or for friends while studying architecture at the Air Force Academy and then philosophy at Cornell University.
		Chapin helped found the World Hunger Year, a campaign in which, besides giving many benefit concerts and enlisting other artists to do the same thing, he lobbied House and Senate members and the President of the United States to pass a resolution for a government commission on world hunger.
		(Chapin was somewhat apolitical himself; in the 1980 elections he had campaigned for five Republican and 19 Democratic Congressman, basing his support on their stands in favor of action to alleviate world hunger.) "Frankly," Chapin said "there's more potential movement out of this generation than there was in the '60s.

	Harry Chapin Interview
		Harry Chapin comes to the kitchen door carrying a small notebook that he has opened to a page containing one sentence written in a child's scrawl that says, 'Harry, I Love You.' The words are written by Harry's 4-year-old son, Josh.
		Chapin joins Havens and Brand on stools on the stage at the high school and they take turns singing their songs, accompanied only by one another's guitars, for the better part of two hours.
		Harry is circulating among them, engaging in small talk and offering them the run of his home--a home and a setting that he has selected as carefully as he crafts his songs.

	Harry Chapin Web Site - Short Stories
		HARRY CHAPIN looks like the jolly green giant with curly blonde locks and weaves the kind of tall tales that are invariably true and hit hard with the impact of each punchline.
		Chapin could not be said to be plying a voice or personality of any significance, and he relies totally on rapier-like observation of city and suburban life to make his mark.
		Chapin comes across as one hell of a nice man. He even puts his money where his mouth is and flogs his poetry in the foyer, with the proceeds going to feed starving people (the ones in America, I hope).

	The Harry Chapin FAQ
		Big John was Harry's bass player, no mean feat since, in John's own words "I never played a bass to begin with...I wasn't a bass player." Harry's band did well, and began to overshadow his brothers' group.

	Harry Chapin - Seventies Music at Randy's Rodeo
		Chapin's amiable persona earned him a loyal following, and he was a generous activist, working primarily to alleviate world hunger before his tragic death in 1981.
		Harry Chapin fought to end human suffering and protect human dignity, and it's no surprise that his work has continued on into the present day through his foundation (learn more), nor that his music continues to win converts and inspire activists.
		I doubt Chapin had a malicious bone in his body, and his sense of humor was immense, allowing him to laugh freely at himself and the crazy world around him.

	Harry Chapin's Obitury
		It was a typical Chapin concert in that his energy was high, and the only reason he stopped singing was because he was told that if he stayed on stage even another minute they were going to have to put the help on overtime.
		Harry already had gone on for almost three hours and it was closing on midnight.
		I thought then and I think now that Harry Chapin was a worthy man. That he was a liberal in the very best philosophical sense of the word.

		This was Harry Chapin's first real solo album and while not as rounded or fully accomplished as later albums is deserving of a place in the collection of anybody who likes quality song-writing and passionate delivery.
		Harry does much more than that though and gives it real power and force,singing it with genuine passion and feeling, as he did a lot of his songs.
		Of course it was "Taxi" that brought Harry to the attention of the public despite its 6:44 length, with its simple guitar, haunting cello, and falsetto solo by Big John Wallace, telling the story of a chance meeting several years between two old lovers.

	Remembering Harry Chapin
		I have been performing Harry Chapin's music since the late 1970s beginning at The Cabaret Theatre, a small theatre near Pittsburgh where I worked as a performer and director.
		I was a huge Chapin fan and would spend many hours after shows sharing my favorite Chapin music with the audiences and fellow actors who would remain after the shows.
		Shortly after Harry's tragic death in July 1981, I asked the artistic director of the theater, John Carosella, if I could present an evening of Harry Chapin songs at the theatre with the profits going to World Hunger Year.

		Actually, each song on this album (CD) represents Chapin working at the peak of his musical powers, it is an incredible and remarkable achievement - almost classifiable as a musical landmark.
		Chapin was that rare celebrity who put his money where his mouth was, becoming one of the era's most dedicated and compelling forces in effecting aid to the hungry, raising well over 5 million dollars for the cause.
		Equal parts wistful, poignant, genial, caustic, literate, salient Harry Chapin made a deep impression on people that is still evident today.

		Harry Chapin's skills as a songwriter include a strong narrative sense, a detail-centered approach to scene, and a deft ability with characterization.
		In a sense, Chapin is a writer of musical short stories, and these qualities are in ample evidence on THE ESSENTIALS.
		Despite his story-like verses, Chapin's choruses are often quite catchy, as on the hopeful "I Wanna Learn a Love Song" and the sprightly "Dreams Go By." The finest example of the story-song mix is probably "Cat's in the Cradle," Chapin's most known and emotionally resonant song.
