Heads & Tales was the debut smash LP from the late singer / songwriter and human rights activist Harry Chapin. Shortly after its release in 1972, and thanks in part to Johnny Carson for asking the artist to come back a second night after he blew the audience away with his storytelling classic hit Taxi, Harry Chapin was soon on his way to the top rungs of the charts.

Radio programmers, both rock and pop, also took the cue and began to play the 7-minute single in tandem, as Taxi would soon become one of the biggest success stories of the time.

The album was filled with eight more Chapin classics like his stellar Greyhound, Could You Keep Your Light On Please and the beautiful harmony-filled Any Old Kind Of Day. With his amazing stories and masterful musicianship, Harry Chapin would go on beyond the musical landscape and become one of the leading human rights activists of his time with his food outreach programs, which are still in the works to this day (The Harry Chapin Foundation)
