It is so great that you are highlighting Harry. Everyone should listen to Harry! ❤
I agree!!
Harry Chapin was not only a great talent, but he was also a great person. He gave 50% of what he made to charity. He left us way too early.
A great loss. He could have contributed so much more. Musically and otherwise.
A very real story of people when he sings "A BETTER PLACE TO BE" or "Mr Tanner" So many more stories from Harry. Don't forget to listen to the "SEQUEL" of taxi, after 10 years later, they meet again to new life changes. !
Echo Mr. Tanner and A Better Place to Be. Would also like to add The Mayor of Candor Lied and Sniper.
Also, for the fun of it you MUST listen to 30,000 lbs. of Bannanas (live version). Sequel is a must for the conclusion of the story of Harry & Sue.
He was a leading crusader to eradicate world hunger among children. After a concert he would be in lobby and greet everyone and anyone.
30,000 pounds of bananas, by Harry Chapin
yes, but must do the live version with all four endings!!!!
@@williethebeerman YES!!!
30,000 lbs of bananas is a true story!
In Scranton Pennsylvania
The song was an inspiration for the TV series "W.K.R.P in Cincinnati", one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Wow! That's cool! Never knew that! I was just writing to her to ask her to react WKRP & after I messaged her, I read your comment!
Good story but not really true, the creator of the show worked in AM radio , but it is a very good show, I have the rhino dvd series of the show which has about 95% of the original music
@@terrybangley2281 Look it up for yourself. Google "W.O.L.D. and WKRP" and see what comes up.
For another fun story listen to “30,000 pounds of bananas”. Harry told great stories.
Make sure you find a version with all four endings if you do react to this one.
I am so tickled that in just a few Harry songs you realized his genius as a songwriter. I consider you to be the smartest reactor on RUclips. So quick to figure out the songs and the meanings behind them. Bravo Britt
Try “A Better Place To Be” or “I Want To Learn A Love Song”. There are just so many. The ones you are listening are the ones that were short enough to make it on to the radio, but there are so many more that most people have never heard.
As you continue your dive down the Harry Chapin rabbithole, you'll find that there many gems ahead. Like A Better Place to Be, Mr Tanner, I Wanna Learn a Love Song to name a few.
Ditto. I wanna learn a love song is about how he met his wife.
So true, HC has been my favorite song writer, since the late '60, other songs "Corey's Coming" and "Flowers are Red" which he calls the Educational song.
I love that you're loving "Harry." I became friends with his son Jason in middle-school on Long Island, NY, and was blessed to get to be around Harry a bit in the late 1970s. A bit is all it took to understand what an incredibly good, talented human being he was, and to be impacted by his lust for life and doing the right thing. So sad his life ended far too soon.
Mail order Annie is a favorite of mine as is every song he wrote . What a true genius he was . I saw him in concert three times , how lucky i am!
Great rabbit hole to go down Britt!
Very jealous. He was dead before I knew him. In fact I knew him from a cassette of Greatest Stories Live my dad found at the rubbish dump. It was torn and he fixed it and we listened to it over and over. I can still hear where the tape skipped.
Still some of my favourite songs.
In the same train station vein, Corey's Coming. I just want to see if other people think Corey's real or not.
WOLD are not just call letters, it's where he is in life...OLD. W is for stations east of the Mississippi, K is for west of the Mississippi. If he was in Canada, it would be COLD. Harry's character is just feeling OLD.
And in Mexico, XOLD.
A Better Place to be is another story painted in color by this wordsmith (could also be a short movie).
Harry Chapin and Jim Croche were story tellers. The best!
You have to hear “Mr Tanner”!! Beautiful & sad
Grew up listening to this man. Was devastated whenI heard he passed.
I was driving to my first jab after getting out of the USMC. Radio station played 4 or 5 songs. then the DJ ended with this song and said "That's enough".
2:30 Britt, if I owned a radio station, I'd totally have you on. Wouldn't even have to think twice.
R I.P. Harry Chapin ✌🏽❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Harry Chapin was one of the best story teller's with his music, and by far my favorite. And yes Britt, you would be great at radio or talk show. You definitely have the gift for it. Thanks for the reaction.
"Mr. Tanner" is a wonderful story about people encouraging you to follow your dreams, or at least what they think your dreams should be. My favorite of his is "The Mayor of Candor Lied", but I doubt you will find a good video of that!
Great job, Britt!
During live performances, Harry would change the station name to a local one. A popular move with the fans. You've really got to do a number of Chapin songs that were never played on the radio, which includes most of his songs as they tend to be too long for commercial radio. "Mail Order Annie", "The Mayor of Candor", "She Was Always 17" and "Odd Job Man" are great songs. I'd also suggest "Sniper" and "Bummer", but they're probably not suitable for YT.
Dogtown is a mind blower also.
Mail Order Annie, Odd Job Man, Flowers are Red, and Circle are a few of my favorites. Live versions are the best. His audience interactions make the show.
Its really great for us Harry fans to see you embracing his work. Thank you for your reactions. Harry is at is best as a live performer, which is why he did over 300 concerts a year. It would be great to see you check out his whole live album "Legends of the Lost and Found" to get a really good sense of him as a performer and his backing band which are also very talented.
Britt, you should most definitely be on the radio, I love the idea!!
I just love that you dig Harry. I feel he’s a long forgotten genius. I think there’s so much stuff of his you’d love. Mr Tanner would be a great place to go next followed by the amazing Sniper. So looking forward to going on this journey with you.
Britt: This hits home to me, as well. I dreamed of being on the radio...and worked in it for 51 years. This has always been one of my favorite Harry Chapin songs. All the best from your 71 year old fan in Central Iowa!!
Maybe Harry's most uncommon song singing about common things uncommon ways is "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" which I'm just going to leave here to intrigue you.
Please react next to A Better Place To Be. In my opinion the greatest story put to music. It moves me every time I hear it.
A few other Chapin songs to check out:
-Mr. Tanner
-Sniper
-Sequel
-A Better Place To Be
-Corey’s Coming
-The Rock
-Stranger With the Melodies
Honestly there are so many amazing songs.
For all the young people out there. A single record played at 45 rpm.📻
Mr Tanner and A Better Place to Be , which he considers best song he had written. If possible from his live album Greatest Stories
Harry was very involved in many humanitarian cuases during his life. Such a tragic young death. I remember hearing the news and how devastating it felt and still does all these years later for what we lost.
You would be PERFECT for a radio show, either a talk show or playing music. You are great at both. You would appreciate either kind of format.
Yes Britt. Harry is by far the best story song writer. Lots more songs to react to.
I never noticed the space between "sitting on my ..." and the following "but" and removal of said space.
YES!! That line gets to me after almost fifty years..."Sometimes i get this crazy dream where I just take off in my car... but you can travel on ten thousand miles and still stay where you are...." the crux of the whole song, zaps you right in the gut. Another song that will get you deep in the heart is Flowers are Red.
Wherever I go, I am there.
Fabulous song!! It’s so nice you enjoy him.
Loving the Harry rabbit hole, keep going deeper.
i used to hear this song on the radio before i traveled to work at 4 am ... never more fitting ; )
Love me some HC! When he would perform this live, the last "WOLD" would be replaced by whatever radio station was covering the show. So, as an example, if he were playing in Cincinnati (in the fictitious 1970's), he would end by screaming "WKRP-P-P-P..."
It is fun watching someone finding harry it happened to me in 1975 Harry is the best story songwriter ever check out a better place to be you will have tears come to your eyes
Last couple chapin songs nice. A Better Place To Be will Be the most heartfelt song you ever heard.
Got to hear his song “The Rock”…I Want To Sing A Love Song”….there are so many great Chapin songs!!!
Harry was an amazing artist. He gave most of his money away to his hunger charity. My sister got a kiss from him not long before he died.
Britt, its me the old dude from Detroit. You would love his story titled My Corey's coming. Its a life & death story for an old & young man. I can relate to it at 77 yrs. old.
I first heard this song when I was 15! I ended up being a radio DJ for a number of years. Brings back memories. Britt, the term "Spot" is radio language for a commercial. So, when he said, "spot on the top of my head", he was creating a thoughtful commercial in his mind. Gotta react to "Sequel", his follow-up to the "Taxi" story. Thanks .
I bought this 45 record when I was 14. I loved and understood the song, but didn’t notice until I was 40 the implication of the station call letters: w OLD.
W.O.L.D. ("Old") Sad story, but one of my favorite Chapin songs. Thanks!
One of Harry’s deeper cuts, Six String Orchestra. I think you’d enjoy it.
I grew up on Harry Chapin. Greatest storyteller of all time. Mr. Tanner, Better Place to be…pretty much all of his greatest hits live you can listen to start to finish.
The song of his - Mr Tanner - is also a fine story song 😊😊😊
My first job out of college was at a small daytime only radio station in western Illinois. WKRP in Cincinnati perfectly captured the essence of small time radio. You should do a reaction to the Thanksgiving turkey drop episode if you haven't already seen it. Absolutely hilarious. Another underappreciated TV show is Newsradio. Of course, W.O.L.D. is my favorite Harry Chapin song. Saw him do a charity concert at the University of Illinois in the early 1970s. I was covering it for our campus radio station. Of course, he used our call letters when he sang the song. Great entertainer.
Absolutely beyond a geniuses, a master craftsmen, i really love that type of song, story telling, great reaction 🔥
Appreciate that
Harry Chapin was a gem, a brilliant storyteller. His songs are often tearjerkers but in the best way. His concerts were excellent. He really engaged with the folks in the crowd. And yes, he gave buckets of his profits to charity.
I think my favorite song of his was Mail Order Annie. If you give it a try, make sure you catch the live version. The studio version is good, but the emotion comes through better live.
No doubt you would be great on the radio, Britt, you have a beautiful and expressive voice. But it would be a crying shame for your fans to miss out on seeing your beautiful smile while you're at it.
Harry Chapin was the ultimate storyteller
45s were the small single record with the big hole in the center and were played at 45 rpm.
My favorite Harry Chapman song is a better place to be,his story hits home.
Hits home for me too. I used to fill my empty nights by smiling at the world.
I saw Harry play at the Dr Pepper concerts in Central Park in July 1977. His brother and father opened the show. I was real close to the stage. Harry gave a great concert. I cried so hard when he died in that car crash on the L.I.E.
I love “The Rock” and I’m partial to “Sandy” as it is my name, but it was written for his wife Sandy.
Love this Harry Chapin song, so glad someone is finally reacting to it.
He was a humanitarian before humanitarians spent more time telling you they were humanitarians than actually being humanitarians , and the last “wold” he would put in the call letters of local station in the city he was playing in ,
Britt...You need to be on TV, not the radio. I could totally see you having your own show. You are so full of personality! You're a great conversationalist, you're very intelligent, and so comedic!! I am surprised that you haven't been discovered yet.
I had the same thought.
In one respect, her YT channel is almost TV. In any event, she's got a ton of demo tapes here for any interested producer.
I had tickets to a concert he would have had in July 1981, but, tragically he was killed in an auto accident before the scheduled Des Moines, IA. appearance. Note about the song, in concert, when singing the last chorus, Harry would substitute a local rock station call sign for the final W-O-L-D, for instance, on his Greatest Stories Live, album, compiled from a series of California concert dates in 1975, the line was: "I am the morning DJ on KAHJ"
I was lucky enough to see Harry live in concert twice! The last time was only two weeks before the accident that killed him. I was devastated
Mr. Tanner is the next one from Harry
Another one of those “stories”
A sad one so be ready
Harry’ family (brothers & daughters) still tours and play his songs.
Talented family!!
I got to see Harry 4 times,the first a unknown named Billy Joel opened for him in St louis around 1972 or 3
You’re gonna love Mr. Tanner
Nah, I’m good
Love your reactions. Don’t know if anybody mentioned it yet but back in the day the premier FM radio station in New York City was WNEW. W.O.L.D was an homage to that station.
The key to the song is the last 3 letters. He's not a teenager anymore and dj-ing at high school sock hops reminds him how true that is. He's thinking about "acting his age" but he can't go back to where he made the decision to take this path that he seems to regret now.
You want stories... you found your man!!! I love this train you are on! Please don't stop or pause (or get off) until you listen to "A Better Place To Be", "Mr. Tanner", the sequel to "Taxi" called "The Sequel", "She Is Aways Seventeen", "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" from his "Greatest Stories Live" album (it is the best version of this song! That album is what showed me the true greatness of Harry Chapin!
He actually has an album called “ greatest stories live”
Glad you're loving Harry Chapin. "Mr. Tanner" and "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" should go on your hit list.
Love your reactions! 🤙
Added!
"A Better Place To Be" live version.
Then tragically, on July 16, 1981, Harry Chapin was killed in an automobile accident on the Long Island Expressway. All the media carried the news: the entertainment world lost a star; the Hunger Campaign had lost a friend; and the Walsh College Community can remember his visit fondly, and with great pride.
Harry was indeed a great man and Humanitarian! He headed a charity to end childhood hunger all over the world, got congressional funding to help in his quest to do so. He does a very solemn song to emphasize the need, called: "The Shortest Story". (heartbreaking, but hits home with the issue) ruclips.net/video/ix-Yj_Md2no/видео.html
??? Don't you have your own show? Are we not tuning in? 6,900 in the last 18 hours!
I echo "A Better Place to Be" and "Mr. Tanner"for heart tugs, "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" and "Circle" for smiles. His brother, Tom Chapin, also performed at Harry's concerts. Tom's voice is completely different but appealing. "Saturday Morning" is one of his live solos.
Love your reactions, Britt! I haven't seen anyone request "The Rock". This gives me chills every time I hear it!!
I'll check it out!
Always felt like I might have missed my calling way back when. Got the opportunity to work with a friend who was the station manager for a small town station in Idaho a few years back. Started as a volunteer fill in (station was owned by a non-profit). I had a once a week '70's show that turned into being the morning DJ for a couple of years doing '60's, 70's & 80's. Plus I got to fill in for my buddy, who hosted a mid-day country music show as well. Good times! I can see you doing a show; maybe featuring the music you've been introduced to via this channel!
It’s great to see someone react to this song/video. Chapin was a really good live performer.
'Songs about ordinary things' sung by an extraordinary storyteller/songwriter. After you get through 'Sequal' and the rest of the hits...try 'Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas'.
I remember seeing him debut this song on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It just blew me away. Like you Britt, I find the stories are compelling.
Gotta try "Mr. Tanner" (maybe one of the saddest songs ever written), or "30,000 Pounds of Bananas."
Harry Chapin -Mr. Tanner
Check out his Greatest Stories Live . His best arrangements, I think.
You need to listen to "Sequel" - the sequeal to Taxi, "30,000 Pounds of Bananas", "Mr. Tanner" and "Corey's Coming" by Harry.
If you have children, flowers Are Red is a must....
Would love for you to react to "What Made America Famous"! It's my all-time favorite!
Here are my favorites from Harry
Better Place to be
Sunday Morning Sunshine
Everybody's Lonely
They Call Her Easy
Mail Order Annie
Mr Tanner
Barefoot Boy
Okay anything from Harry!
First concert I ever saw - Harry in 1980 - just a kid. Fell in love with his music b/c of his storytelling.
one of my favourite songs of all time.
Britt, you should add his Mr Tanner to your list. I think you will really love that one. Or for something a little different try 30K Pounds Of Bananas. Thanks for sharing all these great Harry Chapin songs. 🙂
Oh my gosh. I've said several times to friends when mentioning you, that you are kind of the inverse of progressive DJs back in the 60's and 70's. Back then on FM radio a DJ would que up anywhere from 20 mins to 50 mins of non stop music. No ads!!! These 20 and 50 minute sets were playlists, before playlists existed. I grew up in NYC 50's, 60's, 70's. Each DJ had a unique personality. You remind me of a combination of two NY DJs from then. Mostly Alison Steele, "The Night Bird", and Pete Fornatale. Alison Steele was on 10 PM to 2 AM. Hence "The Night Bird". One of the first big female DJs. Then Pete Fornatale was like you in your thirst for knowledge, and willingness to dive into lyrics and meaning. Also your humility reminds me of both. They way you venture your opinions, but acknowledge us to bring you up to speed with our knowledge. The big difference is that reactors like you need to come to a song or artist with your mind as blank as you can. Where as a DJ was our professor. In Fact NYC biggest DJ, Scott Muni had the nick name of "The Professor", as he knew so much about so many things in the history of R&R. You, are an excellent student!!!! Love watching your knowledge blossom.
They were all on W-NEW, which is where Harry came up with W-OLD. I still listen to Dennis Elsas on The Beatles Channel on S/XM.
You need to also check out Harry’s brother Tom Chapin. He has some albums of children’s songs my kids loved. Especially the Missing Parade.
I was lucky to meet Mr. Chapman years ago in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I was also lucky enough to meet him backstage before the concert. He arrived in a tuxedo. I happen to be next to the door when he arrived. The door swung open and hit me. Very nice man. When the concert started he had on holey jeans and a t shirt.
Sequel is the rest of the TAXI story
You may wish to consider his song "Bummer." It's quite sublime as a story, and it's largely true...
Britt, you have a most beautiful smile.
There's this strong line of melancholy and not quite self-awareness in many of his songs that show how the character almost knows and almost admits that a lot of what he's singing about, like being alone and unable to keep a job or relationship, comes from his inability to grow up - 45 going on 15 is a sad place to be stuck....
Harry was definitely a master storyteller, in the vein of Gordon Lightfoot and Dan Fogelberg.
