Ever wonder if "Sue", the girl in Harry Chapin's "Taxi", was real? She was, in fact she inspired 3 songs but the songs "Taxi" and "Sequel (invidio.us)" (a follow-up to "Taxi") never happened.
"Sue" was an actual girl Harry had met and was infatuated with, but he never drove a taxi in real life and she never got in. The song "Taxi" came from him wondering what he would say if she had.
"Sue", Clare Alden MacIntyre-Ross, passed away in 2016. Here (archive.ph) is her obituary/story.
