For those who have never experienced the intimacy between Harry Chapin & his audience(s), I would strongly suggest picking up a copy of GREATEST STORIES LIVE. There will never be another like him..................................EVER. R.I.P. Harry
DEFINATELY HARRY SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL. His popular music was different. His style was Charismatic. But more importantly, he inspired other successful musicians to give to starving kids and people worldwide and get his fans to give. Taxi is one of the best songs ever written. Someday soon, America music fans will once again have the sentimentality to appreciate Taxi.
I remember playing Tangled Up Puppet for a friend whose daughter was getting married and it turned him on to Harry's music. Even though the song was written for a mother, daughter it can apply to a father daughter also.
I saw Harry perform this song with his band in Syracuse NY and he mentioned that the song was for all the fathers in the audience who were watching their little girls growing up too quickly. The song totally blew me away.
"Tangled Up Puppet" is a decent song on the album, but seeing this live performance is a knockout! Thank you for posting these! (I can guess the source, but don't say anything if it will bring the wrath of someone's lee-gull department.)
we are all poor damned fools if we don't live out his dream of feeding poor hungry children in this country in this world. let us all get behind Harry's dream pug helping to provide food for so many Starving Children and people in this country and in this world
Hello Fellow Harry Fans I am starting a campaign to get Harry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so please post, tweet and write to the Hall of Fame to get this man in

Came to hear Tangled Up Puppet and got Poor Damn Fool too!
Hi, Bagnon. I love the clips. I do wish you would say the show Harry is appearing on and the original show date. Elsewise, keep up the great work!
magical

Just fyi, I enjoy these old clips of Harry. How did you managed to get them? I don't think there were VCRs back then.
VCRs arrived in the 🇺🇸, from 🇯🇵,
in 1977.
We had one of the first gifted to my family, around that time, and they retailed for $1K.
At least that poor damm fool had a taste of something sweet 😁
