  • @MarMal10 Oh my what good fortune for you to have been there for that event and to hear this marvelous performance. There is no doubt and as you said, he really is the finest songwriter ever!! Thanks for producing the show! Joel Barry, a singer/pianist too and a great fan of the inimitable Jimmy Webb.

  • @enilegnave21 Bravo! A brilliant statement on the enormous talent of Jimmy Webb. His songs are treasures and he performs them with the clarion voice of an ordinary man expressing real emotion. I never tire of him and his music.

  • @goneforacuppa Wow, thanks for reminding me about the great Paul Williams. He and Webb are a great pair of artists.

  • wow,very awesome song.ever..tnx for this song..i love it...

  • I wish Jimmy would sing this in his concerts, I have never heard him perform this live. Here's hoping!

  • Jimmy Webb is truly talented and along with Paul Williams form the two greatest songwriters ever - their chord progressions are superb.

  • Thanks for posting --- so is there any concert video (DVD) available of Jimmy for purchase?

  • There must be mystical magic and divine inspiration at work in this man for him to have such acuity and clarity of vision to cut to the heart of something with such power that it can reach into the soul and extract emotions and tears. I wonder in awe at this turn of phrase... and though he is no singer; his voice is crystalline and resounds with the heart of the poet he is and that is enough.

  • @MarMal10

    Jimmy Webb truly IS the greatest songwriter that ever lived. I SO agree!

  • I've heard this song sung by others --and always loved it-but this performance by Jimmy Web!!-the writer of the song--is trancendent!! Exceptional! thank you for posting this!!!!!!!!
