According to 'Steve Hoffman Music Forums' - "The first time, afaia, that Jimmy Webb sang on a commercially released record. He is backed by a few college friends from San Bernardino and sections of the Wrecking Crew - Larry Knechtel, Joe Osborne and could that be Glen Campbell on guitar?" #JimmyWebb
This came into my head today whilst roasting potatoes. Couldn't remember the title for a while, only the band name, and that it was an early #JimmyWebb composition. Turns out I'd posted it on the blog just 4 days earlier than today, in 2011 (it's not on Spotify) youtu.be/68_0fr7jKKs?...

Vince Gill thought about backing out of singing this.
Thought he couldn't handle it.
Glad he didn't.
