I reckon that if you can write songs THAT good - you can sing them any damn way you like.

14 people (dislikes) died by Jimmy Webb's blade.

An absoloutely beautiful song.

I saw him live last year...Or maybe the year before.. But he had a bad voice so you might think that let his performance down. But actually he just told some anecdotes about meeting Sinatra and other amazing singers. Which were amazing.

Though for about 80% of the songs, that didnt require a high note he was fine on.

One of my very favourite songs which I have performed many times, this is the first time I've ever heard Jimmy's original, SUPERB , it has facets not explored in the Highwaymen's version.

There should be more performance by this pro on youtube. I've seen him perform and his version is always very compelling. Great song writer. Terrific performer.

@mofredur he means "cape horn" the most southern point of american continent. if you dont know that much about basics of geography, don´t teach others

This song gives me goosebumps...Jimmy is a true poet.
