Originally aired:

Legendary multiple Grammy award winning songwriter/performer Jimmy Webb is scheduled to join host Alex McNeil for a telephone interview beginning at approximately 1:00 PM! In the late 1960s, it was practically impossible to turn on the radio and not hear a song written by Jimmy Webb played within a few minutes time. Just a few of his best known pop standards include "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" (rated by BMI as the third most performed song of the past fifty years), "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston" (all three major hits for Glen Campbell), "Up, Up And Away" (The Fifth Dimension), "The Worst That Could Happen" (The Brooklyn Bridge) and the epic "MacArthur Park" (Richard Harris). Jimmy's prolific musical career spanning the past four decades included scoring music for popular films, television shows and theatrical productions, composing songs that were recorded by artists including Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Issac Hayes, Art Garfunkel, Tony Bennett, Joe Cocker, Nancy Wilson, Linda Ronstadt, Arlo Guthrie, Carly Simon, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson among many others, as well as releasing many of his own critically acclaimed original albums and performing live concerts since the early 1970s.

Location: 88.1 FM
