For those who thought that Richard Harris only sung "Mc Carthur's Park" as a joke. Richard was not only a Shakespearean Actor and Oscar Winner, and Albus Dumbledore, but a fantastic singer.
My father was jimmy Webb and Richard Harris s. Attorney (negotiator) once Harris came to an appointment at our house four hours late bombed out of his mind. Thought my father was going to have an embolism. He was the straightest entertainment lawyer (very very very successful). Never saw him have a drink. It was actually hilarious
Absolutely fabulous ! Not only this touching song, but also Richard Harris is one of the best actors in the world. As a singer, his performance is at the top of the hits!
This song sung by the multi talented Richard, must ring bells in hundreds of fathers minds when they hear the lyrics. Those who stayed a d made the best of it. 1.st may 2023.
The magnificent. inimitable, multi-talented Richard Harris. His voice has a yearning quality, no matter what he sings. It touches the depths of your soul and leaves you with a longing...
I remember his beautiful voice & what a magnificient actor he was. He was a legend in Camelot & his last film appearances in Gladiator, & the first 2 Harry Potter movies as Albus Dumbledore, before his death in 2002. Macarther's Park is my Favourite song of his. Loved him.
I had only heard Elvis sing this, but this is also a beautiful rendition. Fabulous voice, I absolutely love M c Arthur Park. He does a fabulous live version
I really like the Novo Bono Jr. (Filipino singer) version. This song was originally a French tune by the name of “Parce que je t’aime mon enfant”, sung by Claude François. The Dutch version, “Mijn zoon”, by Willy Alberti, is also a must.
Great singer.......Elvis did a good cover ....great actor and Mcarthur Park was off the planet.... bought this Album for a girlfriend from years ago.......
Dumbledore, Richard Harris, you were an amazing singer, I really am sad because of your death, especially because I watched every Harry Potter movie, but also cause I’ve seen you and your real life actions, and you were really nice, R.I.P
I remember this originally had A LOT of air play here in the US as an up and coming hit…When it stalled at #41 on the Billboard charts, the song ceased from being played on our A.M. radio dials. Elvis in ‘75 would bring this into the Top 40 but without the original moving feeling heard here.
Albus Dumbledore was a very impressive actor and singer. His passing in 2002 was a great loss to us all.Rest in peace my dear Richard🙏🙏🙏 "Someone asked me once "What is the difference between Tom Cruise now and you when you were a major star?" I said there is a great difference. Look at a photograph of me from the old days and I'm going to one of my film premieres with a bottle of vodka in my hand. Tom Cruise has a bottle of Evian water. That's the difference--a bottle of Evian water"
Assolutamente si, però il fatto è che Elvis era (in generale) talmente carico di patos e di capacità comunicativa che rendeva tutto quello che cantava assolutamente ineguagliabile...Questa versione è bellissima, quella di Elvis irrangiungibile...
No se si será mejor que la de Elvis pero la canta con un sentimiento tal que sólo un padre en esas circunstancias la podría cantar. En realidad me emociono..
You know, Richard Harris is my favorite actor of all time, primarily because he starred in the movie Cromwell, but he was so talented on so many levels, I doubt we'll ever see someone with real talent like that ever again
Oh. Wow. I had no idea Richard Harris was such a BABE! And that VOICE???? I knew he was a superb actor but this on top of that? It’s like he really IS a wizard!
I couldn’t say when a man known as Richard Harris’ life as an ARTIST 1st enriched my life powerfully not solely with the blessing of his talent, but the choices he made in expressing that talent! His work reflected the pathos of the human condition, but ultimately with a stand for humility & “something better!” For me, that’s LOVE, despite the sorrows! ON YOU GO Richard, wherever you may be! Here you live on with us in the hearts that you touched with your beauty!🙏
This version is much better than Elvis' one. Elvis didn't even had a son Richard did. How can you sing 'my boy' when you don't have a son? Love how Richard put his ❤ into it 👌
For those who thought that Richard Harris only sung "Mc Carthur's Park" as a joke. Richard was not only a Shakespearean Actor and Oscar Winner, and Albus Dumbledore, but a fantastic singer.
A joke !.. Mac Arthur's Park ?.
No joke, he teamed up with Jimmy Webb who gave him great songs & the 60s was musically inclusive in the charts. Best decade ever.
My father was jimmy Webb and Richard Harris s. Attorney (negotiator) once Harris came to an appointment at our house four hours late bombed out of his mind. Thought my father was going to have an embolism. He was the straightest entertainment lawyer (very very very successful). Never saw him have a drink. It was actually hilarious
One of the all time characters of all time
Loved him as King Arthur in Camelot
He doesn't just sing, he interprets the song.
It's crazy for me to say but damn this guy sings this song and some others better than someone elvis andy williams glenn campbell 😂 that's crazy
Makes us all shed a tear... beloved Richard Harris, a real titan!
Seeing this for the first time in 2024 I feel perhaps I missed finding that pearl on the beach.
Really, not a 70s child 😂 if so, you were at the beach 😅 his second biggest song, and he got more great songs.
So beautifully said 🥹
@@SB-yl1ng not so well known in France -alas- but I love him since 1968 and McArthurs park, it was really great !
Brings tears to my eyes, No matter how many times i hear it
Didn't realise his voice was so good. Magical.
"The Boy Who Lived"
Respect to Sir Richard Harris, from Turkey.
Stunning. Pure and simple!
Absolutely fabulous ! Not only this touching song, but also Richard Harris is one of the best actors in the world. As a singer, his performance is at the top of the hits!
I've never heard this song before, I love it. He's definitely singing this from his heart.
Jan, this was also an Elvis Hit. Elvis really 'loved' this song, obviously because of the divorce with Priscilla.
I looked for this version so I could download it to my music. But I could only find Elvis's version. Still good.
@@FrenkSummers Both Elvis and Richard Harris do such a good job with this song.
This song sung by the multi talented Richard, must ring bells in hundreds of fathers minds when they hear the lyrics. Those who stayed a d made the best of it. 1.st may 2023.
...from the heart. My thoughts exactly.
The magnificent. inimitable, multi-talented Richard Harris. His voice has a yearning quality, no matter what he sings. It touches the depths of your soul and leaves you with a longing...
Richard Harris really excelled in singing emotional songs. Such great delivery and feeling.
Richard Harris sings this beautifully with heart
פפפפפפפ
Can't help shedding a few tears whenever I hear this version
I remember his beautiful voice & what a magnificient actor he was. He was a legend in Camelot & his last film appearances in Gladiator, & the first 2 Harry Potter movies as Albus Dumbledore, before his death in 2002. Macarther's Park is my Favourite song of his. Loved him.
I had only heard Elvis sing this, but this is also a beautiful rendition. Fabulous voice, I absolutely love M c Arthur Park. He does a fabulous live version
I only care about Elvis' and Richard Harris' version of this Song! I think I like them both equal
He and Elvis both have silk voices. Gorgeous
He would be the first person to say that he was a veritable professional alcoholic. Still he functioned magically
I really like the Novo Bono Jr. (Filipino singer) version. This song was originally a French tune by the name of “Parce que je t’aime mon enfant”, sung by Claude François. The Dutch version, “Mijn zoon”, by Willy Alberti, is also a must.
I can’t stop listening to this song
One of the all time great songs. And his voice is amazing and like noone else’s. Richard Harris. The absolute bomb
My God this man is so talented.
Yes
Harris is a live wire. He’s one of the most alive entertainers in the world
One of the best what a voice. He was an amazing actor miss him xxx
He makes me believe every word! I love that.
This song just gave me shivers.
Always stupendous. Love Richard Harris RIP. I many of his Albums
Great singer.......Elvis did a good cover ....great actor and Mcarthur Park was off the planet.... bought this Album for a girlfriend from years ago.......
Now here’s a voice of such dimension and allure that it is right up there with Sinatra and Bennett.
The best version is this original. None has come even close.
So true !!
hmm - Elvis blows it out the water
This is beautifully sung by the great Richard Harris!
IRELANDS greatest actor ,, no ifs or buts , but a hell of a singer too , the Limerick native was top of his profession , i love this song
Wow - I never realised that It’s the legendary actor who sings this song.
B. Martin-P. Coulter.
Music-J.P. Bourtayre and C.Franois.
Elvis.
FranCois. No jo, to je tak, když člověk umí jenom česky a rusky.
Search for MacArthur park Richard Harris
Great song . great actor and singer Rip Richard xx
BEAUTIFUL....AWESOME... SUCH TALENT. RIP
I can see why Elvis covered this song with such a powerful performance by Richard.
Elvis really admired Richard Harris. My Boy is a wonderful song. Sad but wonderful
What a great performance!
Dumbledore, Richard Harris, you were an amazing singer, I really am sad because of your death, especially because I watched every Harry Potter movie, but also cause I’ve seen you and your real life actions, and you were really nice, R.I.P
Amazing song amazing performance. His voice is really rare. So strong and powerful. He was a live wire.
Que lindo ❤❤❤!! Só conhecia com o Elvis. Ele canta maravilhosamente!! Emocionante!!

Essa música linda faz parte da minha memória de infância. Mas nunca a associei ao grande Richard Harris. Grande momento!!!!
One of the greatest!
Fantastic. Saw him perform this at Odeon New Street, Birmingham, February 1972,
I was there too peter
@@sandrasmith7508 so was i there
@@terrybowler6712 he was lovely and so romantic meant every word my favourite one of the nicer things. Love it
@@terrybowler6712 another evening listening to Richard not just his music but his interviews. Makes me”laugh he doesn’t give a dam
Very touching song.

We had this record in the early 80's with my late husband.
Richard Harris “my boy” tear jerker
His voice ..savage, raw passion
Albus Dumbledore was a very impressive actor and singer. His passing in 2002 was a great loss to us all.Rest in peace my dear Richard🙏🙏🙏

He could sing & McArthurs Park was superb Jimmy Webb song. Of course he had sang on stage & screen with Camelot. Superb.
Harris has the best voice ever
Sadly missed he can act and he can serenely sing the young musicians should take a leaf out of his book what a voice❤❤❤❤❤
What A wonderful song...
Just beautiful
Io Amo Elvis questa Canzone e' stupenda..devo confessare..che Richard..Harris..la canta divinamente..
Assolutamente si, però il fatto è che Elvis era (in generale) talmente carico di patos e di capacità comunicativa che rendeva tutto quello che cantava assolutamente ineguagliabile...Questa versione è bellissima, quella di Elvis irrangiungibile...
so real thus so amazing
No se si será mejor que la de Elvis pero la canta con un sentimiento tal que sólo un padre en esas circunstancias la podría cantar. En realidad me emociono..
Une voix incomparable , des desendos glissandos à lui seul appartiennent
Please, upload the original karaoke or minus one of this song of sir richard harris on youtube because this is one of my favorite song.
Wow. He sure was a phenomenal singer
Dumbledore sings...brilliant
R.i.p First dumbledore
have some fucking respect
You know, Richard Harris is my favorite actor of all time, primarily because he starred in the movie Cromwell, but he was so talented on so many levels, I doubt we'll ever see someone with real talent like that ever again
Amazing voice
Oh. Wow. I had no idea Richard Harris was such a BABE! And that VOICE???? I knew he was a superb actor but this on top of that? It’s like he really IS a wizard!
Have your mind blown - listen to Harris' Too Many Saviors On My Cross! Aimed at the heart of the Irish 'Troubles'.
Real artist. When he sings, has his eyes closed, with gusto, heart and soul... you can feel the emotions...
I'm embarrassed to admit never knew this amazing
What a fantastic voice
What a man what a voice ❤
I listen this everytime I think of my dad & miss him.
❤ Maravilhoso❤
If MacArthur park didn’t convince you of this iconic voice this will. Better than Sinatra Elvis dean martin
Legend. And an Irish man ..
A side of Richard Harris people will never know.
RIP
He was an excellent actor and a fantastic singer. Listen to him also sing in the movie "Camelot". Such a talented man who is so very much missed.
Wonderful.
Forever Mr. HARRIS
Beautiful song. ℹ️Ⓜ️❤️
bro said "accio voice of gold"
Beautiful just..... Beautiful ❤
So beautiful, and Elvis too🇧🇷❤️
Wow captain Nolan can sing and he's good 👍
Just about sumned it all up. 17 years free !!!!
Great, great song!! One of Phil Coulter's best songs (Midge Ure from Slik/Ultravox knows this ...)
He was a Great beach game player in Limerick, he was the champion for years before he became an actor
Brilliant.
What a man
The songs (My Way,My boy,The phone is crying) are songs of French origin and Claude François,Check out Google.

Ang ganda ng boses paulit ulit kong pinakikinggan

A daughter is not the same? Elvis was also divorced when he recorded it so I don't understand what kind of speech this is...
@@robertozanetti104 original song by Claude François,Check out Google.
Claude François OM I don’t need to check...
@@robertozanetti104 , Elvis is a non talent. Everyone knew talented Richard Harris also.
@@robertozanetti104 so you know as much as I do that the original is by Claude François,à singer very well know at home in France.
