I pray that his one hit wonder status does not last forever because there is so much more to James than just this song! :) :) :)

The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace

Interesting note about Paper Lace- They had the original Billy, Don't Be a Hero, which they took to No. 1 in England, but in the US they were upstaged by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.

Adding support for MacArthur Park. Who can resist all the sweet, green icing flowing down?

The instrumentals in the song are great! MacArthur Park has sentimental value for me. It was out in the summer of '68 right after I graduated from high school and it reminds me of the good times I had riding around in my future husband's '67 Chevy Super Sport convertible. That song was played a lot on the radio back then. I love it! Ah.......... memories..................:) :love:

Don't get me wrong...I like those songs too.

Not many people like "MacArthur Park"...my mom hates that song!

PS-The Association was originally going to sing "MacArthur Park".
