Richard Harris was born on this day in 1930.
Another towering, storied Irish talent who was much more than a “Harry Potter actor”, he also had a big hit with MacArthur Park in 1968, written by the brilliant Jimmy Webb (of Wichita Lineman, Highwayman and many others).
Listen to it today, perhaps watch this live performance, and remember to bring your cake inside at the first sign of showers.
