I always loved Juli LaRosa but once I heard his interpretation of this song, it floored me! Wow, what feeling of sadness. When a man can set a mood for his audience, that’s the sign of a powerful singer.
@hunterv41 Hunter, Julius chose this song for a reason. He related to this. LaRosa could have sang one of his songs, but Juli chose to send a message to the world. He learned how to be humble.
LaRosa is a great singer, no argument here. However, that song is most certainly not the best choice when it comes to showcase a singer's vocal capabilities. Julius LaRosa was known for having a great lyrical voice. This half-spoken half-sung rendition of Cat's in the Cradle proves that LaRosa can put a lot of feeling in his performance but where is the actual singing? Although this is a very good song, I really wish he had sung one of his personal hits.
My paternal cousin sure can sing! Such feeling and bitter sweetness he adds! Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas, all!

Wow! Beautiful, honest rendition of a song I'd heard before but never heard before delivered by one of the greats. Heart wrenching. Sweet.
One of the best covers ever!
I missed Jerry so much this year, this is what the telethon was classic show business, schmaltz and Vegas
Greatest, saddest pop song ever written. Brilliant interpretation. R.I.P., Harry Chapin.
Nice tribute to Harry Chapin, having one of the great ones singing his song on a program for a good cause.

zzzut Correct. It was the wrong song for him. Not a good match
Sad, that Larosa opted to sing such an insipid song.
