Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver & Harry Chapin - Irish Lullaby & Taxi (1977)

This slideshow features two songs from the concert "Four Together" on October 17th, 1977 at Olympia Stadium in Detroit, from which the proceeds gotten directly benefited World Hunger Year.

The concert was organized by Harry Chapin. Three other artists concerning about children's hunger were also involved in this concert, they are: James Taylor, John Denver & Gordon Lightfoot.

In this slideshow, Gordon Lightfoot & John Denver were singing "Irish Lullaby" together in salute of the singer-songwriter Bing Crosby who died just several days before the concert was held.

The other song featured in this video is Harry Chapin's hit "Taxi", in which John Denver sang the high part. Then Harry Chapin enticed the crowd to sing along with him - truly a memorable performance.

Enjoy!

Wow! Just...wow! I never knew these four shared a stage. I was raised on Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver, introduced to JT in my early teens and found Chapin in college. This was just really awesome!

@simbatj Many of these musicians would play together especially where Harry was involved whether it was a benefit concert or a protest of some sort

John, Gordon are two of my faves also...and I LOVE the song Taxi, also!

John was definately one of the best singers in the world, and, of course,Freddy Mercury, rest in peace, John, Freddy, and Harry.
