Harry Chapin "Cat's in the Cradle"

Before Ugly Kid Joe took "Cat's in the Cradle" out for a spin, Harry Chapin made a name for himself with the folksy father-and-son tune.  Sadly, Chapin died mysteriously in an automobile crash in 1981. Chapin, who was driving with a revoked license at the time, collided with a truck.  He ultimately died from a heart attack, but it's not known whether this occurred before or after the accident.  He was 38.
