Cat's In the Cradle

Product Information

Harry Chapin's career as a popular singer/songwriter was cut short by an auto accident in 1981, yet he left behind a series of recordings that his fans continue to treasure decades after his death. Chapin was never a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. Chapin earned a devoted audience during the '70s, through his music and his charity work as a social activist. Cat's In the Cradle is perhaps his most famous, endearing and enduring chestnut.
