In Harry Chapin's early career, which he had started in 1958, he was in a band called "The Chapin Brothers." "The Chapin Brothers" had a couple members. They were Tom who played the guitar, Steve who played the bass, and Harry Chapin who started out playing the trumpet then switched to the guitar. During this early career of his, he had done $20 performances at birthday parties. His most popular songs and albums were "Cat's in the Cradle" in the album Snipers and the Love Songs and "Taxi" in the album Heads and Tales. Harry Chapin may have had a tough life, but like other musicians, he let his feelings out in his songs by singing about them.
Harry Chapin came from
Harry Chapin was one of thoes many people that cared about World Hunger. Usually artists make music and do concerts for themselves, but Harry was very unique and he gave the money that he got from his concerts trying to stop world hunger. that is why He started the W.H.Y. (World Hunger Year) in order stop world hunger. It was a good thing because most song artists don't really care about world hunger, but Harry Chapin did and had decided to do something to stop it.
'The Chapin Brothers' aren't around anymore because they either died of sickness or of a car crash like Harry Chapin did. He died on July 16, 1981. All his stories were influenced by his life. They influence other people so when someone feels like they can't do anything for the world, Harry Chapin made them say that they were wrong and that they could do something to help the world. Even though some people remember Harry Chapin, many people don't even know who he was or what he had done for the world. But they do remember his songs and still listen to them.
