[net.music] Bizarre Request

I am looking for a song.  It is a man singing, telling a story of his life.
I am aficionado of depressing songs and this was one very depressing song.
This man had gotten married and had a daughter.  His wife then left him and
I believe his daughter somehow ended up a drug addict/prostitute (something
terrible).  It was played on a guitar and I believe the city was New York
where this took place.

It is not much of a specific description, I know, but as far as sad songs,
this one stood out as the ultimate, father tear-jerker.  I only heard it once
driving in New Jersey.  I tried every station around FM100 (since I missed
the call letters) looking for the title.  Please send responses through
E-mail.  Thanks for any help.

How about "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow" by Ray Stevens.
