It's such a joy to see how deeply she feels this beautiful song.

Literally brought tears to my eyes. Bravissimo! ps I saw Harry perform this at Mr. Kelly's in Chicago a long time ago, 1971 or thereabouts. Wonderful song. I wish he had lived to be at least 100... the airwaves today could use more of the kind of things he wrote and performed.

How is she not more famous. Her voice is a gift from God. She's amazing. I love her. She is queen.

Yes, Harry Chapin sang it well. He did not know how well he sang. I could only sit there and applaud. (Jacksonville Fl 1978). Laura, I had no idea Melania could sing so well, lol. Your rendition would have made Harry smile.

I met Harry at painter’s mill theatre in the mid 70’s. He would have loved this. ❤

Does anyone know where I can get the sheet music or background track to this? It's beautiful and I would love to be able to sing it! Especially her version.

Good.....but needs Big John Wallace to sing the Mr. Tanner part
@LBS1106582 жыл бұрын
Laura did a wonderful interpretation of Mr. Tanner, and yes, it does lose something without the baritone undertone of "Big John Wallace". It is indeed a beautiful rendition but it's a story not a song and was sung more like just a song missing the real point of it. This was a real occurrence in the life of Mr. Martin Tubridy and his story. Harry can be imitated, but never duplicated. Kudos nonetheless, Laura.

Any idea what key she's singing in?

Saw Harry half a dozen times. This song needs to be sung in a sad vibe. Pretty voice but she missed the emotion. I still liked it though. Peace to All.

Nicely sung - but why oh why not have someone sing the Baritone part.

This beautiful song is"Mr. Tanner" and it was written by Harry Chapin and was on his 1974 album, Short Stories.

He found the critic's review in a NYC periodical and made up the story from that! They tracked down the real person in the review and he sang the Baritone part with Harry's brothers and band. Harry Chapin was incredible and a great loss to the world!

She is a very good singer. Her interpretation of this classic Harry Chapin song is flawless and well performed. It almost seems to hurt her when she talks about Mr. Tanner's review. She sped the song up and it sounds very well. The only criticism I would give is leaving out Mr. Tanner's singing. I have never heard this song performed without Mr. Tanner. Leaving out Mr. Tanner singing takes away from the emotion of the song.

Indeed - the song is hollow without it.

I'm sorry but this seems like a broadway play.Harry was so earthly and when he sang you felt that he had lived there.A full time consideration in another endeavor might be in order.

I like this singer, but not this version of the song. At all.
