@hilde45 Nice thread starter-I'm 68, so the Richard Harris version is the one I'm most familiar with.
"MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain (whoo!)
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took too long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, again"
Jimmy Webb has had a fantastic career. These are his Billboard Top 10 hits.
