By The Time I Get To Phoenix, originally recorded by Johnny Rivers (1965). Hit version by Glen Campbell (1967). From the wiki: BMI named it the third most-performed song from 1940 to 1990. Frank Sinatra called it the greatest torch song ever written. The inspiration for By the Time I Get to Phoenix was Webbs breakup from Susan Ronstadt, a cousin of singer Linda Ronstadt. Both remained friends, even after her marriage to another man. The relationship itself, which peaked in mid-1965, was the primary influence for MacArthur Park, another Webb composition.
