Richard Harris - MacArthur Park

Tribute to the Late Richard Harris and his performance of Jimmy Webb's 'MacArthur Park'.

Shot actually in Macarthur Park, Los Angeles early one May morning whilst on holiday in 2007.

The video was shot by me and is one continuous piece of footage. Note the guy doing some early morning warm up exercises that is just caught in frame towards the end.

This song is terrible especially considerring how many good songs and good art there has been in the late 20th century. This is one of the worst popular songs of all time.

I remember when this song first came out.Funny how certain songs are only created in certain times and how they team a certain performer to that song.A song like this couldn't be created today because our mindset is totally different.I'd still like to know how they paired Richard Harris to perform this.I doubt any other performer at the time could have had the same impact as he did.He was the right one.Any one know a song done in the last 20 years that we can play today and like as this song?

Melting??? It turn absolutely nuclear with the gangs and the peeing in the lake. Still an epic song though.

This song to me was always the elevator muzak scene in Airplane II :). Instantly recognisable melody.
