Words and Music (Jimmy Webb album)
''Words and Music'' is the second album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb, released in 1970 by Reprise Records. This was the first album authorized by the artist.
==Background==
By 1970, Webb had achieved a measure of fame as a songwriter. From 1967 to 1970, his songs had given him two dozen entries on the Billboard Hot 100, among them several Top Ten hits, including "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris, "Worst That Could Happen" by the Brooklyn Bridge, "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell, "Galveston" by Campbell, and "Up Up and Away" by the 5th Dimension. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" was recorded by numerous artists.〔 These hit songs made him a favorite of middle-of-the-road pop singers like Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, and Andy Williams. He was also widely covered by easy listening artists like Ray Conniff, Percy Faith, Henry Mancini, and Lawrence Welk.〔 By the late 1960s, the music industry had changed, and many songwriters were now singing their own compositions. Following the unpleasant experience of his first album, ''Jim Webb Sings Jim Webb''—which consisted of demos that were overdubbed and released by Epic Records without his permission in 1968—Webb began performing his own material.〔 ''Words and Music'' was Webb's first album that he produced, consisting of all new material.〔
