Was Richard Harris also a singer in addition to an actor? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found an album by actor Richard Harris and it appears to be made in the 70's and the name of the album is A Tramp Shining. It appears to be one of Richard's most best-known albums and the singles released from it were Didn't We and Richard's original version of McArthur Park was a popular hit from it before Donna Summer covered McArthur Park and made it a hit for herself. Did Richard Harris continue to release albums or did he stop his singing career to focus on movies? My mom was enchanted by Richard's voice and thought he sang really nice

I didn't even know who Richard Harris was until I saw his debut album and he should've made it big as a singer because he had a wonderful voice and Richard Harris was who I first heard sing MacArthur Park before I heard Donna Summer's version and Richard Harris's version is so beautiful. Did Richard Harris ever release a second album or did he become a one-hit wonder in music?

He did release a second album but he was mostly an actor.
