Another Webb song that was a huge hit was MacArthur Park. Or if you were Richard Harris, MacArthur’s Park. The story goes that Harris recorded the song in Ireland, and Webb flew there to teach him the song. He tried mightily, but he couldn’t get Harris to say MacArthur Park. Harris always sang it as MacArthur’s Park. After enough time Webb gave up, and that’s the way it sounds on the record.
