The Man Who Left The Cake Out In The Rain

Jimmy Webb turns 66 today.  Which must mean he was barely out of his teens when his songs were all over the charts in the 1960s: "Up, Up And Away," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," "The Worst That Could Happen," "MacArthur Park" and others.

He kept composing in later years, but never (chart-wise, certainly) reached those heights again.
