Cats In The Cradle~cover

I get many requests but when an old friend who hails all the way back to grade school sends me a touching email requesting a song its a no brainer to do it for him. I hope I pulled this classic off for you Bryan ;)
"Cat's in the Cradle" is a 1974 folk rock song by Harry Chapin from the album Verities & Balderdash. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1974. As Chapin's only #1 hit song, it became the best known of his work and a staple for folk rock music. It was also used in the British Government's Public information film asking people to report suspected terrorist activity. It was only broadcast in the Ulster Television region [1].
The lyrics to the verses of the song were originally written as a poem by Chapin's wife, Sandy Chapin, who is credited as the song's co-writer.[2] The poem itself was inspired by the awkward relationship between Sandy Chapin's first husband, James Cashmore, and his father, a New York City politician. She was also inspired by a country music song she had heard on the radio.[3]
