How did this song become so forgotten til now, it's amazing!

[helenramsey]

I've always loved this famous hit. Great story behind this song.

[americamussenden]

No matter how this is the most beautiful song I have heard since 1968 on the Johnny Carson Show. It makes me alive.

[carolburgess]

Wow!! I had no idea he sang this! School trip to watch Oliver Cromwell all those years ago made me mesmerised by his acting. Why has it taken me over 50 years he also sang one of my favourite songs!!

[johnjohnson]

Brings back such powerful memories of being a 13 year old boy 1969. God I loved this song then and still do.

[floygrace]

Metaphorical Love Song:
The singer has lost the woman he deeply loves.
Instead of crying about it, he accepts the reality of the situation.
The lyrics suggest that he’ll have other relationships in the future, but he believes the addressee is the love of his life. I've always loved this famous hit. Great story behind this song.

For Those that have a Heart,

[Julio__Cesar]

He was 38yo when recorded this song, but his voice was similar to a 70yo man.

Great theme!

I'm alone as usual in Mac Arthur Park🎶🎵💞💗💖💓🤗🤗
I can't sing, but we love this song!

[RetroCheats]

Who's the jerk that left the cake out in the rain!

[Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd]

MacArthur’s Park. THATS what he clearly sang all three times. I’ve always found that interesting.

[bigcatdaddy]

British Bob ( Unforgiven character) can sing!

[JGLewis-jnkm]

Nice upload. Thanks. But you could have placed up a background early on, such as pictures of a city park or R.H. album covers.

Can you believe this over blown piece of crap was a big hit on AM radio for weeks? Like a striped pair of pants?

[Don-mdwn]

56 years later this remains one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

[tomtoneff]

Not really good singing, is it? Is it singing at all? A good instrumental.
