MacArthur Park

the highwayman is my fave of webb's songs but my fave version of macarthur park is by Richard Harris. 

@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.      

+ another for Maynard. 

...another for Maynard Ferguson.

However, even though I was a horn player back in the day, his version may have one of the best saxophone solos of all time.  I can still hear it from memory in its entirety.
