gold

This video should be archived with the Library of Congress for generations to see! I got shivers watching it!

Great song,,,,,,Great person…….

This is great to see Harry back when he was about and doing his music, a gent and musical mate he was.

w.o.l.ddddddd

i like chapin.big john rules too.good post.thanks for sharing with us.

he said he maybe wanted to get out of radio, and open a record store. sadly, these days that’s a dying business too.

amazing how that could happen,when i lived in nz the country was closed sunday true..but you got the paradise right..adam and eve lived in paradise,right.. they had nothing and no money and were happy!!

I never knew what the singer looked liked, but I knew the song quite long, great seeing a face now !
Amaazing great track. A real classic, though heard not much on radio here.

This guy is such a free soul. He’s driving down the road in his car not knowing where he’ll end up next, but that’s all right. Unfortunate he died only at 39 years old.

thank you bearnorthzCATHY

A song and sound I have found myself singing through my life’s ups and downs. I first heard it on the American top 40, on a Sunday in New Zealand (Paradise)

Simply incredible! I have never heard this song live - Harry is simply amazing! 5 stars, top notch, unreal!

it gives me the shivers. lovely, its like i am mindmelting with the guy from idahoo..

Harry died in a traffic accident.
He died of a heart attack which led to the traffic accident.
He was one of my favorite singers and my brother was the one who played him all the time.
Even today it is still relevant to music and life and the lost loves.
We never seem to have time to fix those lost loves.
R.I.P. Harry we still miss you all these years later.

I loved this song then and I still love it now!! And I am married to a DJ NO LESS!!!

love the words playing disco bullshit that you cant pass by me

he would, when he was in Banff, Canada he used “The C.B.C”

i looked for this video cause i actually heard it on the radio and i thought it was quite lame-ly catchy. but i had no idea the guy from the proclaimers played bass (2:10)
joe trohman on guitar and the lead BEE-GEE on keys. pause it exactly on 2:38 for a great looking face by him. its hilarious

I think he would change the station call letters in the last chorus once in awhile in concert to a local station.

I love Harry Chapin. I am 21 and i love all his songs. Why would anyone say “this is terrible” i respect their opinion but I love him to death

I’ve loved Harry since the 70’s. I am becoming a YouTube Junkie because of all the great music that’s available here. There are shining moments on all of his recordings. Sure there are a lot of missteps, but just as many gems.

Plus don’t forget he founded World Hunger Year in the 70’s as well. Without Harry, I don’t know if Bob Geldof would have ever organized Band Aid, although that might be unfair to Sir Bob.

this is just terrible
