Jimmy Webb is one of the GREAT op songwriters of our time - so many classic songs. He has an album of him singing his "hits" including MacArthur Park.

My favorite Webb composition is "Wichita Lineman" - a hugely underrated plaintive love song. When Glen Campbell recorded the song with his fellow "Wrecking Crew" band, he borrowed Carol Kaye's 6-string bass to play the solo.

Below, the great Carol Kaye who played on soooo many hits including the iconic bass opening of "Good Vibrations"

I think she played bass on one of my favorite songs “Mr Tambourine Man” (Byrds).
