MacArthur Park" is an epic song written by Jimmy Webb and first performed by Richard Harris on his album A Tramp Shining in 1968. The seminal recording topped the music charts in Europe and peaked at number two on the U.S. charts. The song is named after MacArthur Park, a park in Los Angeles, California.
The song has been covered more than fifty times, including versions by Waylon Jennings, The Negro Problem, Glen Campbell, Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Liza Minnelli.
A disco version by Donna Summer in 1978 topped the U.S. charts for three weeks and ran to 8:40 in its full-length album version as part of "MacArthur Park suite" on Summer's 1978 double album "Live and More".
