Leventhal, Dennis Freeland, Jacki McCann, Leslie Ramme,
the list goes on and on.....

C.Jason Dermer
-- Harry Chapin mattered. His efforts against world
hunger resulted in the establishment of the Presidential
Commission on World Hunger, World Hunger Year
(1-800-5-HUNGRY), L.I.Cares, and many other
humanitarian efforts. He believed the issue of world
hunger was one that could be eradicated in a lifetime,
and his tireless pursuit of that goal was obvious.
Formed by his family and friends after his passing in
1981, The Chapin Foundation, at http://www.harrysfriends.com/hcf
,exists to help concerned , private citizens get
involved. Together, we can "make a difference". *For

The Latest Release
|
Sniper & Other Love Songs
[iTunes]
In 1972, Harry released
Sniper & Other Love Songs.
Thirty years would pass before the album would ever reach the CD format. Sniper was finally re-released in June, 2002.
Originally given a working title of Sweet City Suite, the album tells the story of various characters one might run into in
a city. The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But
perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly
lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child."
Sniper is for the seasoned Chapin fan. New fans would do better to check out
Greatest Stories
Live. But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the
Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step. Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced"
feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin. Nonetheless,
it captures Harry's great iconoclastic songwriting--Harry takes the story song to new heights here. But the album works best
for those ready for it; don't buy it until you are ready to appreciate it!
