Yes, she wrote songs

[edit]

The credits for "Cat's In The Cradle" list both Harry and Sandy Chapin as authors, as does the song "Tangled Up Puppet" (see "Harry Chapin: A Legacy in Song" ISBN 0-89524-327-X). While certain musicians do provide writing credits as a method to split income / royalties, it does not appear to be the case here, as very few songs were attributed to both Harry and Sandy.

I recommend retaining this stub to properly attribute Sandra Chapin as co-writer of the song "Cat's in the Cradle"; it did after all hit #1 twice (Harry's recording and Ugly Kid Joe's version as well).

Harry died of a heart attack. So the statement that a "car accident [that] took his life" is misleading.203.184.41.226 (talk) 07:29, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, he didn't die of a heart attack

[edit]

He died of a torn aorta from the force of the accident, and bled out, causing his heart to stop. There's a difference. 75.161.16.253 (talk) 02:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
