Singer Jimmy Webb: 'At 14 I realised it was all about attracting the opposite sex'

Glen Campbell Forums is followed by many Jimmy Webb fans, and we appreciate all of you!
I thought our members and readers would enjoy this beautifully created video, "Jimmy Webb (featuring Linda Ronstadt) - All I Know" posted on YouTube by "Jymster46".
This version of "All I Know" is from Jimmy's 12th album, "Just Across The River" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Across_the_River" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and it is the last recorded song by Linda Ronstadt.

Glad you are going to JW's concert in the UK, Mike. London?

Jimmy Webb’s “Voices” Featuring Burton Cummings Premieres On CD
The Second Disc
AUGUST 10, 2016 BY JOE MARCHESE
The score to Voices effectively supports the film for which it was written while standing on its own as a typically lovely set of songs and melodies from one of America’s most significant songwriters and storytellers (Jimmy Webb) -- Joe Marchese
Happy 70th Jimmy. Looking forward to seeing you in the UK soon.

Continuing Jimmy Webb's birthday celebration with Glen Campbell's Goodbye Tour performance of "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" written by Jimmy.
Isn't this an amazing tribute sung by Glen to Jimmy? You can tell he loved singing this song, too. T. J.'s playing was sublime.
Happy 70th Birthday to Jimmy Webb from Glen Campbell Forums! Post your happy returns here, too!

(Birthday wishes were inserted on a photo taken of an original, handwritten Al De Lory conductor score for "Wichita Lineman" written by Jimmy Webb. This score was on display at The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014 when I visited the museum's Wrecking Crew exhibition.) ~ Dee

I have just listened to this interview with jimmy Webb from BBC radio 2. Not sure it has been put up before but I think this is wonderful because the interview allows Jimmy to fully express himself. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03wtvh0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another "MacArthur Park" article saved in our 2013 archives is an in-depth one written by Randy Lewis with the Los Angeles Times.
Jimmy Webb to Lewis:
"I was very much an observer of things, and that song ('MacArthur Park') incorporated almost everything I saw around me," Webb said. "The novelistic technique of including just enough detail to convince someone of the veracity of the tale that's being told is a common one in songwriting. Certainly that's at work in 'MacArthur Park': the old men playing checkers by the tree, there's the yellow cotton dress...."I'd seen birthday cakes left out in the park. I didn't have to make anything up," he said, although Webb also was well-read enough to have been aware of poet W.H. Auden's famous comment that, "My face looked like a wedding cake left out in the rain."
