From the time singer-guitarist Glen Campbell recorded “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” in 1967, he became forever linked with the words and music of Jimmy Layne Webb. Formerly a staff songwriter for Motown’s Jobete Music arm, Webb had placed songs with big names (The Supremes) and lesser-known talents (Danny Day, The Contessas) when he attracted the ear of Soul City Records’ Johnny Rivers.

Sacred Songs: New Anthology Highights the Solo Side of Daryl Hall

January 24, 2022 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Daryl Hall would have every reason to rest on his laurels when not writing, recording, or touring with John Oates in the most successful pop-rock duo of all time.
