Metaphor for a breakup in a relationship Richard Webb had with a girl. He wrote the song after he heard she was getting married.  Many of the memorable moments in their relationship took place in and around MacArthur Park in LA.
Webb made two albums with Harris, an actor rather than a singer, but he had just finished  playing King Arthur in the musical  Camelot so was pretty famous and known as a singer after that role.
And why the hell did I have to answer this?  Isn’t that Soanky’s job?
