Songs that Rocked Our World: One Cat's in the Cradle

Clare shares a song that terrifies both her and the man who wrote it. Hannah's song of choice did not so much rock her world as haunt her every waking moment for two weeks straight. Clare's song: "Cat's in the Cradle." Music, lyrics, and performance by Harry Chapin. In December of 1974 it was the Number 1 song on the Billboard Top 100. The link includes a brief interview with Chapin's widow and with his son, followed by a live performance of the song. The comments below the video are both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Hannah's song: "One." From the musical A Chorus Line, 1975. Music by Marvin Hamlisch. Lyrics by Edward Kleban. The link is to a clip from the 1985 film version. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
