Happy Birthday, Jimmy Webb

From LaMonte McLemore’s FB page:

Dateline 8/15: #HappyBirthday to our forever friend and the musical genius who is Jimmy Webb. In fact, it’s Jimmy’s 75th today and you can join him on his official Facebook page for a live Q & A at 2pm, est. From the Grammy magic of The 5th Dimension’s signature tune “Up-Up and Away,” to the iconic “Magic Garden” album, to the progressive “Earthbound”…Jimmy, you are simply the best! Love and God bless from “Mac”

Happy Birthday to “Tunesmith extraordinaire” Jimmy Webb. Over the years, he’s given me wonderful quotes for magazine articles and liners about my cherished The 5th Dimension and is an indelible part of LaMonte’s memoir, “From Hobo Flats to The 5th Dimension,” which I had the pleasure and honor to co-author. God bless you, Jimmy! And how thrilling for you to acknowledge Mac on your live birthday broadcast. Noting his bass, and “authentic trash barrel sound”…aka, singing on the doo-wop street corner ’round the barrel for echo, is something LaMonte truly appreciates. ~~Robert-Allan Arno, 2021
