As played by Joe Osborn on Richard Harris's 'MacArthur Park'. He hated it. It's also rumoured he played it on Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Only Living Boy In New York' from 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', but it's a myth - Osborn used his Jazz and did lots of overdubs which were comped for the track. Here endeth today's music history lesson.
