    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
