It's A Family Affair (Songs)

No, they aren't family. About the most beautiful cover I ever heard. The first minute with the lead singer has a beautiful quality to it.

 
Eno started calling himself Brian Eno when he made this album with his younger brother Roger (and Daniel Lanois). There‘s quite a bit of talent on this one.

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard.
Harry Chapin's 1974 hit "Cat's in the Cradle" is the king of them all.

As everyone who ever attended summer camp knows, it's about a father who is too busy to spend time with his son. At the end, the grown-up son is too busy for his elderly father. It began as a poem by Chapin's wife, Sandy; her first husband's father was a New York politician and they had a strained relationship. Chapin died in a car accident in 1981 and he never got to see his own children grown up, making the song somehow even sadder.
