I've decided to quickly follow up the last post with another even more prominent actor/musician, Richard Harris. As a musician, he is famous for a 7-minute song called "Mac Arthur Park," and as an actor, he will probably be remembered most (for better or worse) as the first Dumbledore.
Coming from his 1972 album The Richard Harris Love Album, this song, "What a Lot of Flowers" is a cover of a song from the musical Goodbye Mr. Chips, sung by Peter O'Toole in this clip here. What sets Richard Harris' version apart is the amazing production by the great John Harris, known for such tracks as "Odyssey" and pretty much anything from his album Movements which is much closer to the sound of his work here with our guy Richard Harris.
So here it is, the always pleasing, soulful, and funky "What a Lot of Flowers." And VIOLEEEETTTSSSS!
