Description
Harry Chapin: A Life of Music and Purpose Harry Chapin never reached sixty-five years-old. In fact, he never even reached forty. But in the all-too-brief time he was allowed, he achieved a great deal and left an indelible mark that now, almost four decades on since his tragic death, seems fitting to re-evaluate and celebrate. This book delves into the fascinating life of Harry Chapin, focusing mainly on his music, which carved out a place in music history. His intimate style of writing thought-provoking, soul-searching, and heart-breaking story-songs, such as "Cat's in the Cradle" and "Taxi", are now well-embedded in American lore. The book also celebrates Chapin's tireless campaigning for a better world. Born with no direction or great ambition, Chapin's life took a path that defined his destiny. For him, there had always only been one choice: to use his music as a force for good and to make a difference in the world.
