Written by Jimmy Webb, 'MacArthur park' was originally recorded by Richard Harris in 1968. Donna Summer recorded her version as part of the 'MacArthur Park Suite' on her 1978 album 'Live and more', clocking in at 8 minutes and 40 seconds.A shorter single edit was made for a release on 7" vinyl. It became Donna Summer's first number 1 hit in the USA, also peaking at number 9 in the Dutch Top 40 and number 5 in the UK singles chart.
