I absolutely loved Harry. He was such a humanitarian. I cried for days after he died. I’m thankful I got to see him perform in the late 90s. I’m also thankful that his music lives on.

Somewhere, Harry is smiling widely. Thank you Sir

I miss hearing the cello weave through this song. RIP Yvonne Cable, and, of course, Harry.

Fantastic song and singers! It's hard to balance drums in such a quiet peaceful song, so they're best left off.

This is so great. Mr Tanner is one of the most beautiful statements on the what music is about.

Came here after Richard Goodall sang on AGT. It just reminded me of this song, and I had to play it for my wife.

I was introduced to Harry's music at the age of 5 by my father. He and I saw him in concert, i believe in Louisville Kentucky not far from where we live. My strongest memory of that night was when he sang dancing boy. Josh came on stage and danced to the right of his father as he sang. I also remember a hug from Harry in the lobby of the Palace theater (I think). By the way, Josh and I are the same age. Dad had tickets to another concert but I was sick and couldn't go. He went without me. I stihl have the program from that concert signed by Harry with a note to me "we missed you". I was nine when Harry passed. I remember exactly where I was standing when I heard it on the news. All I could do is weep and thought of Josh and the loss to him, his family, and the whole world. It still moves me to tears as does his music. Harry was real. He never forgot where he came from. He put his where his mouth was. He was truly a remarkable person.

Two words in I was in tears.

I was watching the Professor of Rock's "This 70's #1 Hit is a wake up call to everyone who dares listen", which is about this song. I was curious about Martin Tubridy, and so glad I found this video, so thanks for posting it!

The Greatest Stories Live Album has been so important to me over the years. Beautiful songs, beautiful, heartbreaking stories. It's also a strong connection to my father. He died in the early 80s when I had just turned 5. Listening to this is one of the few clear memories and emotions that tie me to him. Also the fact that Mr.Tanner sings Oh Holy Night is poignant. John Wallace's performance is achingly beautiful. It's always the last Christmas Carol at the family Christmas Carol Sing and on Christmas Eve.

Why did I always picture Mr Tanner as a black man? 🤔

Thank you Martin, thank you very much.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My wife hates it when I become a blubbering fool over a song. Beautiful irony is an emotional experiance, what can I say?.

Martin, what courage you have shared with all of us. Thank you isn't a big enough word! 'music is his life'. Your music and passion is what this world needs more of!

So injoyable to hear

Such a fabulous story, sweet man… beautiful voice… and wonderful Song.. xoxox

Did I lose it when he sang "it just made *me* whole? Yes. Yes I did

Saw Harry in Concert twice. During the second , In Naperville, Ill, when introducing the song, he made a statement (paraphrasing) that they always dedicated that night, that performance to Mr. Tanner. And, they did not know how well they would sing but it would make them whole. Touched that he was found and had the opportunity to perform. I think it would have been better if Tom had done the singing and would have been a little truer to Harry's version.

God bless you, Mr. Tanner, Martin Turbidy. You really are great. Love you always Harry!!!!!

The critics were idiots.

I was fortunate enough to attend many Harry Chapin concerts over the years, most of them at Pine Knob in Michigan. When Harry sang this song, he credited Martin Tubridy. At one concert, I jotted down his name after Harry said it (phonetically, but not too far off). Thank you Martin for coming and singing this song--it was amazing to hear you!!

Beautiful voice, irritating drums. Beautiful song, bad band.

Thank you for sharing

OMG, Can't believe I found this, glad I know who Mr tanner is now, I will research everything. He can sing really well Just needed some confidence and presence 🙌

I saw an interview where Harry Chapin said every song of his was taken from real life. What a beautiful rendition

Holy Shlt! Beautiful

gorgeous but kill the drums- they are so wrong

Did anyone else get goosebumps the first "fall on your knees?"

I think I met you once in the cemetery on Long Island.

Yes I still miss Harry every day 🇬🇧

This guy is amazing...that reviewer was an idiot

Hearing him sing this made my heart burst with happiness and tears splashed happily like candy from God's piñata

As much as I love hearing Big John Wallace sing this song, it is very nice hearing Mr. Tubridy sing it. On a side note it sounded like Steve hadn't sung the song in a while, or was just so excited to be performing it with Mr. Tubridy.

Very inspiring.

I found this song just by chance. Sometimes, the best things are found at random.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ how many of us die with our song inside of us. Thank you Mr.Tanner, for being the best at your livelihood, and letting music make you whole!!!

Lovely job, Tom. So many great memories of you and Harry and all of the story songs…and of how my life was shaped by them.

Love it

Awesome!

This keyboard player is absolutely butchering this song.

Tom, to the best of my recollection, you use to sing the theme song to a morning show on ABC, called "Everyday" This was back in the 70's and I have been hunting for the music to that song or at least an audio clip and cannot find it anywhere. If you could help me out, I would apreciate it. I loved that song! It went like this, We don't know the reason for the changing of the seasons but we know we have to walk through every day. We go up and we go down while the world still whirls around, it's nice if you can talk through everyday. Open up your hearts, open up your eyes, let us take you by surprise, through every day"...........God Bless

i was born the year your dad died Tom but i love your dad's music

Mr Tubridy your story is a big part of my life. This song has always meant a lot to me. The hole album is my security blanket. This song taught me to value and honour myself. BTW that reviewer was very wrong I am going to see if you have any music out there. It was a great pleasure to hear you just. Thank you so much The Great Mr Tubridy bka Mr Tanner

Brought tears to my eyes! Very, very moving: the song and the story that went along with it.

Incredible!!!

Thanks for posting this is wonderful I miss Harry. I played a few songs in my routine of his a big influence for my love of folk music.

...full time consideration...might be...in Order...
