“MacArthur Park” (Waylon Jennings) #93 9/6/1969

One of the more curious remakes of this Jimmy Webb opus came from Waylon Jennings. It was almost aimed at the easy listening crowd and not the country music audience. Waylon was backed by an Oklahoma group, the Kimberlys. This received a Grammy but Jennings was less than thrilled with the out-of-character LP, and this may have begun his push toward a more outlaw musical approach.
