This is Jimmy Webb on his fat behind performing live on 'Later With Jools Holland' 'Wichita Lineman' in 1998. He really does make a bloody meal of this song.Give me Glen's version anytime!!

Huge composer/songwriter. Cross genre kinda guy, or at least a lot of different style artist appreciate his work.

brilliant composer. i didn't even know who he was until youtube. i've loved his music for some thirty years without knowing who he was.

Very good comments. That was a very astute observation about the playing being like Laura Nyro.

Great song writer, capable pianist, lousy singer. Just like Bacharach - thank God we've had them both in our lifetime.

I find it amazing to see the songwriters perform their compositions because when they wrote the songs the emotional aspect of their being came into play. This is what I want to see, more than the nice voice or the technicality behind the song....yes glenn campbell's rendition beautified this song.

WOW very beautiful piano backing, wishes he'd played on Dennis Brown's version I posted, thanks for posting, but still think Dennis's version is by far the best.

The recorded version of this Webb did for I think Ten Easy Pieces is much nicer. Although an ailing Johnny Cash did well on it. I think people can have off days.
