I am listening in 2024. Yes, wonderful song, yes, forever.

This is an all time masterpiece.

RIP Richard Harris (October 1, 1930 - October 25, 2002), aged 72 You will be remembered as a legend.

Great song by Jimmy Webb - great rendition by Richard Harris. Timeless.

The BEST version of this song.....PERIOD.

Got chills hearing it for the first time in 1968, and it hasn't lost one bit of its impact. Absolute, utter perfection.

Richard Harris had a lovely voice, no one can cover this as good as him!!! ❤️👌♥️🌼

No one could sing it better than he can. Agree? Thumbs up!

That full orchestra crescendo makes me cry every time...... Sheer Perfection from a genius.....

The emotion and passion Harris gives this song is staggering. A masterful songwriter and a wonderful actor with a voice which is simply sublime. If there is a perfect song performed by a perfect singer then this it.

I'm LISTENING !!! I was 12 years old in 1968 when I first heard and fell Madly in Love with this Song !!! It inspired me to become a Concert Pianist !!! BRAVO Sir Richard Harris !!!

Masterful interpretation. Every time I listen to this musical gem I get very excited. They don't make songs like this anymore.

I loved how it was just him singing. No half nude dancers, no light show or fireworks. Just a man with talent, a mike, a song, and a voice

The 60s was the best decade in music history from the Beatles to Motown to a masterpiece such as this.

Timeless song by a legendary actor. R.I.P Richard.

I think that Richard Harris' performance of this song was seriously underrated. GREAT.

Fifty years later it’s still so beautiful. His accent comes through the song. So many people when they sing seem to lose the beauty of their accent, he doesn’t. I listen to it and I’m 17 again with the radio on listening to this and doing my homework. God bless all who grew up with this music.😌

I'm so proud that this was my music when I was a teenager.

No one, but NO ONE, can sing this classic like Richard Harris!!! Bravo!!!

Music of our youth that we still like hearing even in our old age .

They don't make actors like this anymore. He was so talented in many ways. Acting, and an incredible voice. Loved Camelot. I miss you Richard 🌹

Now .. 52 years later, this song still holds the ability to carry me back to a small apartment in rural Missouri. I can still smell the sage floating through the open windows and the sound of the trucks on the Interstate... this song has created one of the most intense memories I own. Thank you for sharing this. Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤

Richard Harris was a real genius with this classical masterpiece. He was amazing!

The emotion that Harris emits is amazing. This is by far the best rendition of this song. Beautiful 💗

Richard puts so much love, sensuality and emotion into that song it makes me want to cry. Just Beautiful 💕

Such raw passion...love his voice!

Simply put, a Poetic and Majestic musical MASTERPIECE!! Like a great wine, this song will never grow old!! ❤ 💫 💞

A fascinating song. Richard did the best version. But Glen did a country version, Donna did a disco version and Maynard Ferguson did a jazz version (big band). But the original will always be the best. Timeless, emotional, unforgettable.

Richard Harris lived in the Savoy Hotel in London. Having become very ill with his final illness and being taken to hospital on a stretcher the great man had the presence of mind to raise himself up as he was carried through the lobby of the hotel and exclaim to shocked guests "It Was The Food! . It Was The Food! " A magnificently wicked sense of humour to the last

This was a Masterpiece. Jimmy Webb wrote this, a magnificent piece.

Harris, one of the finest actors ever...Best King Arthur.

I'm 74, I could never figure out all the fuss about the words, over the years. I've loved macarther park since I was a teenager, richard harris was the best choice. To me it was about a moment in time, thank you Mr webb ❤❤

Frankly, I think this song is a timeless classic.

This song was truly profound for me. The sonic territory it covers sends shivers down my spine, even to this day. The power of a huge orchestra creating the music.. The lyrics sound like a prototype for something John Lennon might have written. Jimmy Webb did write some truly amazing songs. This is an extremely hard song to pull off also. He does it here.

A great Actor, A legendary Drinker, And still a fine vocalist here - well done RH!

Of all the versions I've listened to, Richard's is by far the best. RIP Richard. And the drummer deserves a medal for his performance :)

OK, in tears now - just the magnificence of this production.

Who's listening in 2022? Wonderful song 😍 Forever💙🎵🎶 in My Heart!

STILL one of my favorite songs of all time. What a huge talent, and Spirit. Thank you, God Bless you and RIP dear Richard!

Sang with a sad passion by Richard Harris and all the better for it. This was the B side of another Jimmy Webb song by Richard Harris called DIDN'T WE GIRL and sang in the same vein as this song. Great stuff from talented men that knew what they were doing and did it brilliantly.

Incredible how a piece of music like this can transport us back in time to a specific place and to the specific emotions we felt then in our glorious, painful youth when were were beautiful and full of love. It is the sounds of our lives.

After all the loves of my life. You would still be the one. Brings tears.

The best rendition ever !

This Guy Can Do It All...Sing.. Story Telling...Acting!!!

Just Brilliant . 52 years later , still Fantastic !!

Abso-bloody-lutely spectacular. This song is very special, written about an ex girlfriend of the writer / composer, Jimmy Webb. Brilliantly done by Richard Harris.

No body sings it as well as he does! Absolutely the best ❤️👍

The best version . Fantastic. RIP Richard Harris

A beautiful sad song by a great actor.

The definitive version of this song....and the original. Someone left the cake out in the rain....what a line.

A perfect blend of voice and song.

Brilliant song. I never quite understood why people didn't get the cake analogy. It's obviously a love song where he laments that the long relationship ended and isn't sure if he can be so in love again. PS: best sound quality I could find of this song btw, thanks :)

Oh, this version has been with me most of my life. It brings wonderful memories each time I hear it.

Listening to this rendition of Richard Harris sing this is the bareing of his sole always brings me to tears.

Richard Harris is a Genius . A Great Artist ( Singer , Actor and all around Performer ) Elvis Presley sang a song that Richard Sang Called "My Boy". Richard sang this so well, But it didn't get much Air Time from the radio DJ's . Elvis sang it in 1975 - pretty big hit for him and Elvis fans love this song. Elvis always gave credit to Richard Harris when he introduced this song from the stage, while in concert. Richard Harris was a Great Artist and McArthur Park is such a Classic Song . Thanks for getting out to us The Fans - Great Job

Timeless! I would say that Richard Harris is best remembered by this song rather than having worked as an actor.

Beautiful storytelling, lovely voice and that orchestra, memories, thank you all.❤

Don't come any better than this. Fantastic record.

Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no! I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no! There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no! Oh no No Oh no!

Love this song, love Richard Harris. Just beautiful.

A rare view of Richard Harris singing MacArthur Park. It will last forever and create memories for all who it touches.

I too love this version. Richard charmed many for sure with his talent and his melancholic voice

One of the most beautiful pop songs ever made!

One of th best songs ever written - period.

Compare this to the standard for singers today. How he feels the words when he sings. Not the superficial act of merely singing to sing. How he expresses himself. Not performs for others. His enthusiasm and joy. Not just standing there as if a cardboard box

What an emotional song of love lost, but never forgotten. Many of us can relate. And the depth of an orchestra no less.

This is probably the best example of how different music used to be. Nobody is doing pop that is this sophisticated and interesting.

A este artista lo conocia como actor pero nunca (hasta ahora) habia sabido que era un cantante y de lo mejor. Que voz, y esta cancion es magnifica!.

I was in high school when this song came out and have always loved it. Jimmy Webb is one of the great songwriters.

The composer of this song was Jim Webb and he wrote so many hits that set countless artists over into the top 10. And he never received the credit he deserved .

Goosebumps and chills listening to this magnificent song by the genius Richard Harris - over and over again.

Oh my goodness! What a star and what a song. Never bettered. I was so young, when this released, but lyrics stay in my heart.

Mr. Harris, I`m sure you must be singing this song for the angels... RIP!!

I sit here in 2020 saddened by the thought that we as a people can't do this anymore

A legendary actor & singer, we will always cherishes all his beautiful works. RIP hero

Formerly, I was mostly indifferent to this song. Age and wisdom moved me to have some fondness for it, and this video helped me to appreciate it much more. The instrumentation is remarkable, Harris performed, well, both vocally and visually, conveying what he wanted us to take from this. Watching Harris move about during this recording it is evident a lot of time and thought went into both preparation and execution. He captured the emotional component brilliantly. For it's era, I guess one could say it's become a bit of an anthem, it could well have been Harris's masterpiece and it's aged reasonably well given the amount of play it gets on Sirius XM Radio. I like this.

Love to be a young teenager again and listening to great music like this.

This guy was a wonderful actor with a marvelous voice,I adored him❤

Bravo, bravo. Richard Harris absolutely fantastic.

I love this version & I was fortunate to have met the legend ,God bless you Richard Harris .

Classically done popular music. Great music, great voice!

Stunning. A lost love that overcomes space time and lasts for ever. No One else could have sung this sad marvelous song

The Legend that is Richard Harris. He sings this with such emotion and depth. Just beautiful 💖💖💖

Harris was such a great actor, it always surprises me that he was a great, heartfelt singer. Could you imagine Richard Burton or Michael Caine singing this? Yet he was as great an actor as either of those guys. Magical.

It took listening to this two times and it grabbed me and never let go. I began memorizing this song and would sing it while in my car. I had it on an eight track tape back then. My wife of 17 years and I divorced and this song was always my reminder that life goes on. I often would listen to it and when it got to 2:52 the tears came. "there will be another song for me, for I will sing it, there will be another dream for me, someone will dream it" ....... We all dream about having a love that is so strong, nothing can break the bond. Divorce is the ultimate humiliation of ones soul. Yes, healing can and does come, but the heart will never forget the love you once had and what was lost!

I had no idea that Richard Harris did this song Wow I've saw him in mostly Christian movies just shows how talented he was RIP

With a cheap, sweaty acrylic shirt from British Home Stores and still intoxicated from the night before, here we have Harris at his very best. God bless him!

I'm in love 💕 with this original song. Didn't have any idea that was Harris. Unbelievably good

october 27,2020..i still cry watching him sing this! i heard this the first time 1968

I loved this song and I loved Richard Harris. I used to play it on repeat on my old Dansette record player! Happy teenage years and dreams.

What a beautiful performance and after all these years still stands like a diamond rock

Quando ele canta "...and wondering why....."! Uau! Quanta emoção ele colocou nessa frase. Grande ator e grande intérprete! R.I.P. Richard Harris.

for me it's one of those songs i can't get enuff of since the first time i heard it in 1968.

"Masterpiece" seems an inadequate description. Such a gift.

Belíssima interpretação do Dombledore para essa maravilhosa obra . Uma das mais belas do século passado .

i really love his version how he expressed the True emotion and feelings of the song as it was written and compose accordingly. I love Richard Harris😍 Its immortally classic 😘😍😘

To think that this was sung by one of Ireland’s finest film actors and it was originally released as the B Side of the single his band released. The A side hit the US charts, then a DJ decided to play this beautiful song and it skyrocketed to number 1. No wonder Richard was able to pick an choose what film projects he wanted to work on! It’s wonderful to see this live version.

Whew..... this played on the radio on our way, my first date, May 11, 1968, going downtown with my sister and her future hubby. My date was my high school sweetheart, we were going downtown Detroit to see the Doors.....

Richard Harris ! God bless you. I know you & Peter Otoole are cracking heaven up!!! Beautiful, Beautiful song.

Stela Menezes I've been listening to this song since 1967 it still brings tears to my eyes!
