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!
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...
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.
This song truly epitomizes the struggle of fathers trying to stay in their childrens lives even after failed marriages. Women have all the rights, but many fathers should have custody. We need to re-examine that fact.
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.......
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.
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
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!
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
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...
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"
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..
Makes us all shed a tear... beloved Richard Harris, a real titan!
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
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.

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
Brings tears to my eyes, No matter how many times i hear it
Didn't realise his voice was so good. Magical.
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 !
"The Boy Who Lived"
Respect to Sir Richard Harris, from Turkey.

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.
Stunning. Pure and simple!
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
One of the all time great songs. And his voice is amazing and like noone else’s. Richard Harris. The absolute bomb
Now here’s a voice of such dimension and allure that it is right up there with Sinatra and Bennett.
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
My God this man is so talented.
Yes
I can’t stop listening to this song

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.
He makes me believe every word! I love that.
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.......
Amazing vocalist. Somewhat ignored by so many, but he is truly a master. Here admiring in January 2025.
This song just gave me shivers.
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

FranCois. No jo, to je tak, když člověk umí jenom česky a rusky.

Legend. And an Irish man ..
Une voix incomparable , des desendos glissandos à lui seul appartiennent
I knew he was a film star, didn't realize he could sing too. And very gd this song is.
We had this record in the early 80's with my late husband.
Just beautiful
This is So Beautiful, even years before I had children, this brought me to tears. Now my children are grown up and I did the Same🤗🙁😔🙃
His voice ..savage, raw passion
Beautiful ❤️. Will look for albums. Talented actor and singer. Maaattteee!!

Everytime I hear this song I remember of my boy how I raise him
He could sing & McArthurs Park was superb Jimmy Webb song. Of course he had sang on stage & screen with Camelot. Superb.
What A wonderful song...
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!

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
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 man

c'est une chanson Française de Claude François 1970 ( parce que je t'aime mon enfant )
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🙏🙏🙏

What a man what a voice ❤
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.
What a fantastic voice
Real artist. When he sings, has his eyes closed, with gusto, heart and soul... you can feel the emotions...
Amazing voice
Wonderful.
❤ Maravilhoso❤
Have your mind blown - listen to Harris' Too Many Saviors On My Cross! Aimed at the heart of the Irish 'Troubles'.
I'm embarrassed to admit never knew this amazing
Forever Mr. HARRIS
Beautiful just..... Beautiful ❤
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..
