  • BIOGRAPHY Jimmy Webb Is an American Songwriter, Composer
    BIOGRAPHY Jimmy Webb is an American songwriter, composer and singer known worldwide as a master of his trade. His timeless hits continue to be performed and recorded by the industry’s biggest names, and his new compositions span the musical spectrum from classical to pop. This past year saw his “Wichita Lineman” on the set list in three major artist tours – Guns N’ Roses, Little Big Town, and Toby Keith – and used prominently in an episode of the Netflix series Ozark. Not many artists can say they premiered a classical nocturne and had a rap hit with Kanye West (“Do What You Gotta Do” a central hook in “Famous”) in the same year, but Jimmy’s career is full of surprises. Since his first platinum record “The Worst That Could Happen,” Webb has had numerous hits including “Up, Up and Away,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman, “Galveston,” “Highwayman,” “All I Know” and “MacArthur Park,” and has also become a leader and mentor in the industry as a champion for songwriters. Webb is the only artist ever to have received Grammy Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration. His numerous accolades include the prestigious Ivor Novella International Award (2012) and the Academy of Country Music’s Poet Award (2016). In 2016 Rolling Stone magazine listed Webb as one of the top 50 songwriters of all time. Jimmy Webb was the youngest member ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and served as its Chairman. He has also served proudly as the Vice Chair of ASCAP. Time and again Webb has paved the way for songwriters in an ever-changing media landscape, spearheading the ongoing effort to preserve the rights of songwriters and their intellectual property in the digital age.

  • Singer/Songwriter Jimmy Webb Coming to Carter Library Next Wednesday
    For Immediate Release Date: Sept 14, 2017 Contact: Tony Clark, 404-865-7109 [email protected] News17-10 Singer/Songwriter Jimmy Webb Coming to Carter Library Next Wednesday Atlanta, GA - Singer/songwriter Jimmy Webb comes to the Carter Presidential Library on Wednesday, September 20th at 7:00 pm. The free author program will be held in the Carter Center’s Cecil B. Day Chapel. The doors will open at 6pm and seating is first come-first seated. No reservations are needed. The composer of hits such as “Up, Up and Away,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wich- ita Lineman,” “Didn’t We,” and “Galveston,” has described his life and career in the new book The Cake and the Rain, a reference to the lyrics of his number one song “MacArthur Park.” Now, in his first memoir, Webb delivers a snapshot of his life from 1955 to 1970, from simple and sere Oklahoma to fast and fantastical Los Angeles, from the crucible of his fam- ily to the top of his longed-for profession. Webb was a preacher’s son whose father climbed off a tractor to receive his epiphany, and Jimmy, barely out of his teen age years, sank down into the driver’s seat of a Cobra to speed to Las Vegas to meet with Elvis. The Wall Street Journal calls The Cake and the Rain “Novelistic, perfectly plotted and quite possibly the best pop-star autobiography yet written.” You’ll hear about the origins of the songs that shaped a generation and learn behind the scenes details about the people who made them hits.

The critical acclaim composer Jimmy Webb has received during his more than 40 years of success is as remarkable as the accomplishments they honor: he is a member of the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and, according to BMI, his “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” has been the third most performed song from the 60s until 1990, with “Up, Up and Away” on the same list in the top 30. Webb’s, “Wichita Lineman” has been listed in MOJO Magazine’s worldwide survey of the best one hundred singles of all time in the top 50, and was singled out in the Oct/Nov 2001 issue of Blender as “The Greatest Song Ever.” Even singer/songwriter James Taylor was nominated for a Grammy in 2010 for "Best Male Pop Vocal" for his rendition of the song.

  • Jimmy Webb Jimmy Webb Is an American Songwriter, Composer, and Singer
    Jimmy Webb Jimmy Webb is an American songwriter, composer, and singer. He wrote numerous platinum-selling classics, including Up, Up and Away, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, Galveston, The Worst That Could Happen, All I Know, and MacArthur Park. His songs have been performed by major artists of our time. Jimmy Layne Webb was born August 15, 1946 ,in Elk City, Oklahoma. His father, Robert Lee Webb, was Oklahoma a Baptist minister and former member of the United States Marine Corps. With his mother’s encouragement, Webb learned piano and organ, and by age 12 played Spotlight in the choir of his father’s churches. Webb grew up in a conservative religious home where his father restricted radio listening to country music and white gospel music. He began writing songs during the late 1950s. In 1964, the family moved to Southern California and, after attending San Bernardino Valley College, Web decided to pursue a songwriting career in Las Angeles rather than return to Oklahoma when his father did. Soon, Webb signed a songwriting contract with the publishing arm of Motown Records. The first commercial recording of a Jimmy Webb song was My Christmas Tree by The Supremes on their 1965 Merry Christmas album. The following year, singer-producer Johnny Rivers signed a publishing deal and with Webb and recorded Webb’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix. A string of hits followed, among them Up, Up and Away, The Worst That Could Happen, and the Glen Campbell version of By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

  • Great Lost Jane Songs Compiled by Wendy Fraser Copyright Wendy Fraser 2012
    Great Lost Jane Songs Compiled by Wendy Fraser Copyright Wendy Fraser 2012 A favourite topic among Jane Olivor fans is the songs we’ve heard in concert that have never found their way to the recording studio. This is by no means a definitive list, but we think it’s a pretty comprehensive one. There are enough “great lost Jane songs” here to fill several CDs. Read ‘em and weep at what we’re missing…or be grateful, truly and duly grateful, for the ones you’ve been fortunate to hear. 1. A Certain Smile – Jane’s lovely tribute to mentor Johnny Mathis “sung with a certain inflection.” Performed at the Rrazz Room and Berklee in Boston, December 2008. 2. A Woman Likes to Be Told – (Hoagy Carmichael). Jane sang a rare version of this old gem in the 1990s. The lyrics, “A woman likes to be told, that her hair is spun of gold,” seemed particularly appropriate at the time, because this was her 1990s blonde period. 3. After All These Years – Jane used this song to open concerts circa 2003. It was similar in theme to You because it celebrated Jane’s relationship with her fans. 4. Alfie – (Burt Bacharach-Hal David) Rrazz Room May 2008. Proves a great singer can also be a great actress. Her reading of the line, “Until you find the love you’ve missed, you’re nothing, Alfie,” was spine-chilling. She almost growled the word “nothing” before dropping to a near-whisper for the name “Alfie.” 5. All I Know (Jimmy Webb) – popularized by Art Garfunkel 6.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
