Description
Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer-songwriter best known for his folk rock songs including "Taxi," "W*O*L*D," "Sniper", "Flowers Are Red," and the No. 1 hit "Cat's in the Cradle." Chapin was also a dedicated humanitarian who fought to end world hunger. He died in a tragic car crash at the age of 39. Verities and Balderdash was Chapin’s fourth studio album, released in 1974. "Cat's in the Cradle" was Chapin's highest charting single, finishing at #44 for the year on the 1974 Billboard year-end Hot 100 chart. The album was certified gold on December 17, 1974. The album was advertised with the slogan: "As only Harry can tell it." The album was the first and only work by Chapin to exclusively use professional studio musicians, rather than his touring band, as had been the case in previous projects. It includes the following songs: Side One 1. "Cat's in the Cradle" (Sandy Chapin, Harry Chapin) – 3:44 2. "I Wanna Learn a Love Song" (Harry Chapin) – 4:19 3. "Shooting Star" (Harry Chapin) – 4:02 4.
