¿Quién es JIMMY WEBB?: El genio invisible

In the history of popular music, there are artists who shine in the spotlight, and others who, from the shadows, write songs that end up defining generations. One of those silent geniuses is Jimmy Webb. Perhaps his name isn't as well-known as those who sang his songs…but his music was performed by giants like Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, Richard Harris, and The Fifth Dimension. Between the late sixties and seventies, Webb wrote some of the most sophisticated and emotive compositions in modern pop. Songs like “MacArthur Park,” “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” and “Up, Up and Away” not only had incredible results, which we'll see later, but they also redefined what a pop song could be. But Jimmy Webb's story doesn't begin in Hollywood… but in the rural heartland of America. Write in the comments if you knew about Jimmy Webb, his biggest hit "by the time i get to phoenix" by Glen Campbell, when you first heard it, or what situation it reminds you of.
