This is yet another Harry Chapin anthology, which, like the others, is a fine representation of his career. All the hits are here, "Taxi," "Cat's in the Cradle," "W.O.L.D.," "Mr. Tanner," and the like, which are detailed well in the liner notes. This set may be a better choice for the casual fan as opposed to Story of a Life: The Harry Chapin Box Set, as it is more concise. There are also some interesting snipets taken from various interviews and events, which offer a window into Chapin's strong ideals and also his sense of humor. ~ Robert Taylor
THE GOLD MEDAL COLLECTION is a greatest hits album, recorded in honor of Chapin's posthumous receipt of a Special Congressional Gold Medal. The medal was presented to Chapin's widow at a December 7, 1987 Carnegie Hall tribute celebrating Chapin's tireless efforts to bring an end to world hunger.
Live Recording
Personnel includes: John Tropea, Bill Payne, Russ Kunkel, The Chapins.

 Harry Chapin Gold Medal Collection
All my favorites on a two CD collection. The only glaring omission is '30,000 Pounds of Bananas', but that one is always performed before an audience. This CD makes an excellent campanion to "The Bottom Line Encore Collection" (Harry Chapin's last live performance).
Harry Chapin was the most brilliant balladier of the last century, and this collection is a great tribute to this unique artist.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No THE ESSENCE OF HARRY CHAPIN
THIS ALBBUM EXPOSES THE REAL HEART AND SOUL OF HARRY, AND THE FEELINGS THAT HE FEELS ABOUT LIFE,AND THE REAL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING PHONEY ABOUT HIM OR HIS SONGS. HE SINGS ABOUT LIFE---GOOD OR BAD. HE SINGS ABOUT LIFE AS IT REALLY HAPPENS!!!!!! A LOT OF HIS SONGS ARE BASED UPON HIS OWN EXPERIENCES. WHY DO A LOT OF THE BEST SINGERS ABOUT REAL LIFE DIE SO YOUNG? I GUESS THAT IS A PART OF LIFE. HE WAS LOVING, GENEROUS, AND FAMILY ORIENTED!!!! I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT HIM, BUT IF ANYBODY HAS REALLY LISTENED TO HIS SONGS, YOU ALREADY KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU HARRY AND FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This album is amazing. If you are already a Harry Chapin fan, you are going to love the awesome collection of music, and the sound bytes of Harry talking. If you have never heard of Harry Chapin before, this album is a great introduction to one of the best singer/songwriters of our time.

Gold Medal Collection CD music
$5.95 (MP3 Available for Download)
Listening to Living Room Suite today, you'd never know that it marked the commercial nadir of Harry Chapin's career -- the songs have such touching and startling intimacy, and are so beautifully produced that it's just a damn imposing record, just in the listening. Coming at the tail-end of the second disco boom, the cresting of punk, and the full flourishing of power pop, however, it got buried. When he opened up his heart on "Jenny," it was a phenomenally personal moment, but that wasn't the kind of love song that was selling in 1978; "Poor Damn Fool" was a wonderful song as well, with a glorious sound, but in tone and sound it was a million miles from "My Sharona"; "Flowers Are Red" was a startling ode to non-conformity, a subject much too serious for a pop record at the end of the 1970s; and "Dancin' Boy" ...
| | Harry Chapin On The Road To Kingdom Come CD (1976)
Gold Medal Collection MP3 Album
$5.95 (MP3 Available for Download)
On the Road to Kingdom Come sounded more like a rock album than anything Harry Chapin had done to date. In the hands of sympathetic producer/arranger Stephen Chapin, Harry's songs are infused with clever and often humorous bits of musical commentary -- horns, electric guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, and various sound effects pop up at opportune times throughout -- that makes much of the material instantly ingratiating. While the record failed to capture commercial interest (singer/songwriters were out, disco was in), song for song this is one of his strongest efforts. As ...
