@RoyFive listen to psalm 150 by don sebesky in here

[spacepatrolman]

@spacepatrolman the association recorded the song pf sloan i didnt realize jim webb wrote it i was too lazy to look at the label

[RoyFive]

@spacepatrolman Could be. We're certainly on the same page Re: record companies.

[spacepatrolman]

@RoyFive maybe the record biz people didnt want him to get too big like pf sloan

[RoyFive]

@spacepatrolman That's true but there was a lot of publicity about him and that was one of the reasons--that he was so young but created such great music despite that. He was even photographed alongside Richard Harris on the MacArthur's Park sleeve. In fact that was how I first became aware of him. Still he didn't get the recognition he should have had.

[spacepatrolman]

@RoyFive thats because he was so young when he first started getting hits but they were on other peoples records

[spacepatrolman]

@RoyFive if you tell them not to do it it makes them want to do it more the composer norman dello joios son is a composer his other son is a horse rider

[RoyFive]

@spacepatrolman As I understand it he didn't want any of his kids to pursue it although at least one is a composer in his own right.

[spacepatrolman]

@RoyFive he wrote a book on songwriting where he stated that the golden age of songwriting is over

Jimmy Webb has been around a long time but has really been short-changed recognition-wise.
