Anther vote for Maynard Ferguson's cover!
While you're at it, check out his version of the Theme from Shaft.
MacArthur Park
Been doing some retro listening. So, everyone knows the Donna Summer version, but there are a bunch of others.
What's your favorite version of this classic? Good article, here:

@lspowers ....( Pardon the lack of Welcome mat, someone keeps using it to clean old LPs'... ) Yeah, I've got the same bent when listening about.... Keeps the woofers dusted.... ;) |
As a horn player I have to say Maynard Ferguson's cover. My second favorite was my High School Symphonic Band's version with a full trap set. We were a touring band and we visited schools all across North and South Carolina in the late 70's. MacArthur Park along with ELP's Fanfare For The Common Man were two of those face melting tunes guaranteed to bring the house down. |
