JIMMY WEBB : SINGING THE SONG HE WROTE : WICHITA LINEMAN

No one said that to be a great songwriter you have to have the best voice in the world. Some voices have more character without the voice lessons. (This is one of my favorite songs of all time! Christine)



And the man who made the song a Classic Hit and put lots of money in Jimmy's pockets:


The year was 1968. Both had been working a long time before they got this hit. Glen was on staff at American Music for a time and wrote songs but it's his cover of "By the Time I Get To Phoenix" that pushed him to stardom and got Jimmy Webb out of poverty.
