"Baby's so high that shes skying, yeah she's flying afraid to fall, I'll tell you why Baby's crying, cuz' she's dying arent we all".
The greatest person to fight world hunger died in 1982 God bless Harry Chapin.

The music died when Harry Chapin died. He is STILL the greatest story teller who ever lived!

I was just a couple of years old riding in a automobile heading west on the Long Island Expressway heading into New York City when traffic came to an immediate halt due to a fiery crash....only years later learned it was the scene of Harry's crash and death

Fast forward to today and I am a yearly contributor to the Food Bank established by Harry in 1980 right here on Long Island just a short year before his death :(

LICARES @ Dot ORG. if anyone is interested.

I enjoyed it but he played it like he needed to be somewhere.

If you went to a show Harry would stay and sign autographs until everyone was gone. He truly loved performing and his audiences.

I lifted a small part of this song and used it as a self penned poem in high school freshman English and got an A. It was the part about "foot lights" and "the sky". I had to read it in front of the class and was exposed by Elisabeth Richter. Not only was my grade changed to an F, but I had detention for a week. Elisabeth was the "Newman", (Seinfeld), of Lamar High. To this day, the mere mention of her name inflicts me with dyspepsia and flatulence.

How often does a songwriter reach through the speaker and squeeze your heart until it explodes? I guess many of us know what that is like.
