JIMMY WEBB PERFORMING LIVE WICHITA LINEMAN ON JOOLS HOLLAND

I like this version. No B.S. in it. My favourite version is Sergio Mendes and and Brasil '66. But, respect to Jimmy Webb. He wrote this great song. And without his song there are no versions of it.

Judging this performance is one thing, but insulting the man the way you do in the intro says a lot more about you than it does about him. Uncool.

This is very close to his version on the "Ten Easy Pieces" cd. He is a GREAT PIANO PLAYER. His voice is more soulful than anyone's with his own material. That's what makes this one of my favorite cd's. He has written some of the greatest songs in modern music history, plain and simple.

Honestly: he's so really great like writer and player on piano
but like singer, I prefeer Glen Campbell

This becomes a hymn when sung by Jimmy Webb

Campbell is good but something of a singer for hire. Jimmy sings it here obviously as he envisioned it when he wrote it. It's voice and piano, it doesn't get more simple than that.

jimmy webb wrote the song, one of the finest song writers of all time.

Don't be an arse.

Being an arse is having a different opinion to yours I gather? Writers don`t always perform the best versions of their own songs. Case in point here.

i love his version of his song.
