Jimmy Webb Acceptance of his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 Bistro Awards

This past May, three-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb received the Bistro Awards' highest honor, the ASCAP-Bob Harrington Lifetime Achievement Award, for his musical and story-telling accomplishments over a career of five-plus decades.
Here he is at the 37th annual Bistro Awards gala as he accepts his award and performs one of his songs, mostly associated with such singers as Judy Collins, Glen Campbell, Joe Cocker, and Linda Ronstadt.
In his heartfelt acceptance speech, Mr. Webb spoke of his appreciation of his New York cabaret and small club experiences, and notes, "Believe me, Madison Square Garden doesn't even come close."
The songwriter, performer, arranger, and producer became a household name in the 1960s with such hit songs as “Up, Up and Away,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Didn’t We,” and “MacArthur Park.” Webb has impacted the cabaret community not only with his songwriting prowess, but also with his performing career. He has released more than a dozen albums and continues to perform in concert internationally, thrilling and delighting new generations with his musical artistry and storytelling.

Jimmy Webb is a superb artist.

If one ever gets a chance to hear him perform live in a cabaret setting, do it. He holds meet and greets afterwards, that are truly spellbinding, he's an awesome human being, warm, so genuine, modest as can be.....been lucky to see his shows probably 6 or 7 times in the past 33 years or so...even got to see him play with Glen and Michael Feinstein. He's very humorous, and his stories behind the song are a treasure to behold!! God Bless Jimmy Webb!! thanks Jimmy for all your talent you share!! Bruce

Beautiful video on TH-cam in which Jimmy accompanies Linda Ronstadt singing this song. Believe he had received a songwriting award. Just gorgeous.

I have never heard even one song by Jim Webb that I wanted to hear again.

Just saw him a little while ago, one of the best concerts I've ever heard. you're probably the only person to say something like that. How could you possibly even know all the incredible songs he's written?
