MacArthur Park

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.  

Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson’s version is well known in jazz circles. I had a vinyl record of it in 1975, nearly recorded around the same time as DS’ version. 

Yeah I'm old song so Richard Harris but I do love Donna Summers Version.....lol
