"Mr. Tanner" is a song by Harry Chapin from his 1974 album, Short Stories.

[edit] Story

The song tells the story of Martin Tanner, a local cleaner from Dayton, Ohio who has a gift for singing. His friends try to talk him into becoming a singer because of his beautiful voice, until he finally agrees and uses most of his savings to travel to New York and sing in a show. He holds a concert only to get panned by critics. He returns home and never sings again, except for only to himself when he sorts through the clothes at night.
