This is SO awesome! Paul wrote this song as a teenager and was playing it between takes while filming the movie "Fame." The director, Alan Parker, liked it so much that he wrote it into the movie. I never thought I'd hear another rendition of it, so this is quite a treat. THANK YOU!!!
Paul got an Emmy nomination! He's up for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series - 2011 for his appearances on Harry's Law this season and I'm sure this amazing moment helped. The winner will be announced at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmys, which will be taped on September 10 and aired at a later date on the E! Network. And then the winner will appear on the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards airing 9/18.
i seriously love this... i love Harry's Law and when i saw the crazy DA dude singing i was ready to cringe!!... and then i was blown away.. so i searched and found the original.. amazing... so nice to see a real singer on TV... btw.. how gorgeous was Rachael in that scene??... :).. thanks for the upload....
Thank you for posting this video. Had never heard this song before the last episode of Harry's Law... the voice of the artist carried the same elements of James Taylor's voice.I wish NBC would air the recording of this song from Harry's Law. I also listened to Paul Maccrane's performance, but it does not affect me as much as "puck"'s version.
@persianlimoo When i just didn't know how to express myself, I read your comment and said: "Is that person reading my mind?" You just got it. Great comment, great song, but even greater version. Hope the DVD comes out with the full recording
@persianlimoo Type the title of this song into the youtube search bar... You get this guy, Paul McCrane singing this song some 31 years ago. Hes in the movie Fame, playing the young gay guy. With a headfull of red hair, I might add.
Too bad you didn't get the whole song, this version for Harry's Law was AWESOME! The older version was good too, but this one was much better. I wish you could buy it on itunes or amazon!
You should go upload the whole song and repost it.

His voice improved with age and weight gained while maturing from a boy to a man. This is better than the original! Huge fan! I grew up in the Berkshires and heard James Taylor live more times than I can count. Paul McCrane sounds like Paul McCrane; not James Taylor.
I just about fell over when I heard this, had no idea he could sing.. so beautiful. I don't understand why he didn't have a big recording career. Glad I'm not the only one who was moved by seeing this on Harry's Law enough to look it up and discover the full version. NICE!
Thanks so much mary2006er for loading this clip of this song. I wish we could hear the whole song. I love Harry's Law, I love music and when he sang this song, I was so amazed! He sounds just like James Taylor. I was so surprised that so many people have already heard the song and posted their version. I will totally learn this song now. All kinds of strange people have been giving their strange opinions about Harry's Law but Harry and this show are teaching Attys that it is not about the money!
I thought he might he might do another new song. But I was so freakin surprised to see him launch into "is it ok...". And he sounded great. Hope he's a regular next season. And maybe he'll do another song.
"Fame" soundtrack was very meaningful to me in my coming-of-age years in college, and "Is It OK..." was always one of the most comforting and cathartic tunes. Right before Paul started singing tonight on "Harry's Law" I wondered if he would do this song. But I figured, "Nah, that tune's 30 years old and he's probably got a lot of other songs he'd like to do." Very pleasantly surprised when he launched into the familiar lyric...

@TurnersTwoCents hey me too! For a second I entertained that thought, esp. with the guitar but mentally laughed at myself for thinking that. Lo and behold!!!
I know Paul McCrane from 'Wiseguy' (TV show)...fine actor and writer.

Paul, I'd love to get the full recording of this song from Harry's Law; your voice "wow".
I followed you from the RoboCop days; never knew you could (or did) sing. Excellent. Most excellent.

Puck is played by Paul McCrane... it's probably why they worked the song into the show. Both of his versions, separated by decades, are fantastic.
