Jimmy
Webb
in Concert
Grammy
Award Winning Singer/Songwriter
Jimmy
Webb's accomplishments as a composer, arranger, and producer
demonstrate beyond question that he remains as important and
vital a cultural figure today as he was over thirty years ago.
Embraced by his peers, Webb has influenced and affected some
of the finest musical talents of our time. Frank Sinatra
declared “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” as “the greatest
torch song ever written,” and said he enjoyed singing Jimmy
Webb tunes because “he has been blessed with the emotions
and artistic talent of the great lyricists.” The late Sammy
Cahn commented, “I think one of the real, real geniuses is
Jimmy Webb. His “MacArthur Park” is a major piece of work,
major. I’d almost compare it to Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in
Blue” in size and scope.”
