By 1970, Webb had achieved a measure of fame as a songwriter. From 1967 to 1970, his songs had given him two dozen entries on the Billboard Hot 100, among them several Top Ten hits, including "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris, "Worst That Could Happen" by the Brooklyn Bridge, "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell, "Galveston" by Glen Campbell and "Up, Up and Away" by the 5th Dimension.
Songwriter Jimmy Webb wrote the song "MacArthur Park" in the late '60s. While it was recorded by multiple artists, most people remember Donna Summer's massive disco version.
Music critic Bruce Eder called Letters the "most surprising, diverse, and possibly the most satisfying of all of Jimmy Webb's early solo LPs" and "arguably the best of Webb's solo albums". [15] In his review of the album, Peter Reilly of Stereo Review wrote, "Jimmy Webb is the most important pop music figure to emerge since Bob Dylan."
Tunesmith: The Songs of Jimmy Webb is a compilation album of songs written by Jimmy Webb and performed by various artists. Released in November 2003 by Raven Records , this two-disc compilation covers most of Webb's songwriting career, including some of his earliest recordings from the 1960s.
"The Girls' Song" is a song written by Jimmy Webb and performed by The 5th Dimension. The song was produced by Bones Howe and arranged by Webb. [1] It was featured on their 1967 album, The Magic Garden, but was not released as a single until its release from their 1970 album, Greatest Hits.
In his review for Allmusic, William Ruhlmann called And So: On an album of "different moods that didn't quite hang together" due to the widely varying ages of the songs. He also criticized that while Webb is an adequate singer, most of the songs were not written for his voice's limitations, resulting in unpleasant straining as he attempts to hit notes outside his range.
