Not sure about “the best song ever written,” but it was surely a very, very good song.
Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell were ultra-talented, but the amazing thing was they were just two of many at that time. How lucky were those who grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s, when you could take a bath in music any time you wanted by means of a transistor radio, which contained about one billionth of the number of transistors in an iPhone.
That’s why I said “maybe”.
The line - you know the line - makes it a candidate though.
I agree, those were the best music times. All different kinds but all great.
