I believe I saw where the song MacArthur Park by Jimmy Webb had been turned down by the group Association for its length and strange lyrics. But when Harris decided to do his first recording he chose the song. Jimmy was surprised.

I beleive you are right about the song.
Publius is a fascinating treasure trove of
musical history, and he told me a story similar to yours.

I still listen to that song on my music. And a lot of other Richard Harris songs off his “A Tramp Shining”. I was in lust with his voice. And when he did “A Man Called Horse”, I had my first teenage, older man crush.
