I don't expect to hear much from anyone. But the guy's a genius.

MacArthur Park

Awesome

The Richard Harris version of MacArthur Park is most certainly awesome.

I know Donna Summer is revered on the DS music forum, but her version of the song is as far as I'm concerned an abomination!

Jimmy Webb did write lots of great songs. As well as MacArthur Park (RH version) ones I particularly like are:-

Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
Galveston - Glen Campbell
Up Up And Away - Fifth Dimension
Carpet Man - Fifth Dimension
Didn't We - Richard Harris

Thanks Johnny - glad you agree ! I love the songs that people have covered, esp Linda Ronstadt - but he's also done some great solo stuff.

Why don't you try

All my Love's Laughter
If Ships were made to sail
Moment in a Shadow

Three different, but all great, versions of "Up Up And Away" on the 1960's Appreciation thread:-
