Happy # 77 Jimmy Webb, one of my very favorite songwriters!

This week, we wish a happy birthday to Jimmy Webb, who was born on this day in 1946.  He was also the man who wrote "Up, Up and Away", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston" and "MacArthur Park".

His songs were recorded by The 5th Dimension, Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel and Richard Harris.

You can learn more about Jimmy Webb at his website.

"McArthur Park" was one of the greatest songs ever written.  We posted something about that song last year: 1968: McArthur Park, Richard Harris and Jimmy Webb

He is a great songwriter.
