Fifty years ago, on Tuesday, October 1st, 1974, Grammy-nominated folk singer Harry Chapin released the multi-generational hit “Cat’s In The Cradle.” By December of that same year, the song had skyrocketed to #1, and made Chapin a household name. Originally inspired by a poem written by his wife Sandy, “Cat’s In the Cradle” afforded Chapin newfound stardom that allowed him to launch WhyHunger, Center for Food Action and Long Island Cares, or The Harry Chapin Food Bank.

As we gather to honor the memory and celebrate the birthday of Harry Chapin on this December 7th, 2023, it's an opportunity to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of his life and legacy, a journey that transcends mere music into the realms of profound influence and enduring impact.
