    I saw Harry at the Gusman Center in Miami back in the70’s. We had a blast! We never wanted the show to end.He stood in the lobby after the show and signed whatever was handed to him.Thanks for posting the videos.

    @Kelski1998 Yes, it was released in 1974. Harry and his wife, Sandy, developed the song together–her lyrics, his music. When he first played it for me, before recording it, he wasn’t happy with the song. When he sang it for me, all I could say to him was: “If you don’t record that song, you are a fool.” It opened my eyes and gave me a strong wake-up call to my three children. And its message never left my heart.

    I know this is Taxi great song but Cats In The Cradle I believe came out in 1974? I was born in that year. My mother has told me often over the years she thinks of me and my Dad when she hears that song. Its a great story and the era of the singers and songwriters was something to behold.

    Harry Chapin, Jim Croce and Cat Stevens remind me of each other

    @bhillion69 My compliments to you for opening your heart and mind and listening. You are the young person who always gives me hope in the world, because you listen. God bless, and if Harry were still with us, he would have been so proud of you!

    I remember watching this performance on TV in the early 70s. TV was so great back then . Amazing that we only had a handful of channels to chose from but you can still get things like this. What happened to TV?

    Every time I hear this song the hairs on my neck stand on end.. what a wonderful tale. Once a performer passes it really makes their music all the more special..

    So cool to this day. I love the song and adore the man that wrote it. I play this song everytime I do an acoustic set in some club but never to the impact that Harry gave it.
    And I have to ask, like the Jim Croce vids, does anyone know who the great musicians were that were backing him??? So cool thanks so much for sharing this vid.

    @Lewismadmax And a VERY special thanks to YOU for sharing this wonderful video. I am so happy to see young people coming to this video and enjoying Harry’s music. I know that would have delighted Harry just knowing that his music has crossed generations. His energy and enthusiam for whatever he did was contagious and his spirit lives in his beautiful songs.

    I wish modern musicians (Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, other atrocities) could tell stories like Harry.
