This was released 60 years ago today. Still sounds pretty fresh to me.

I came across a young girl's reaction to this song, and she loved it of course - it's a fantastic song. Then at the end she says Elvin has a beautiful voice and that guitar player is pretty good.

I'm sick of hearing Campbell say "growing forward"
Now I only hear this...

Interesting story about Wichita Lineman. When GC got the song he ran to his Wrecking Crew pals and lined it up in the Capitol Tower in LA. Carol Kaye DID add and play the intro on her Danelectro Bass, but that was it. Glen liked the sound and borrowed the Bass to play the solo where the 3rd verse was supposed to go. Also Jimmy Webb himself played keyboards.
