    Classic Rockers

    Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb have had one of the most successful collaborations in rock and country music history. In the late 1960's, Mr. Campbell's recordings of Mr. Webb's wistful country-pop compositions, "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston" and "Where's the Playground Susie" were Billboard Top 40 hits. They'll perform some of those classic songs live in the studio today. And Bill T. Jones is an award winning choreographer whose latest work combines the text of Flannery O’Connor’s short story, The Artificial Nigger with a score by young composer Daniel Bernard Roumain, to explore how racial and religious reasoning influence human relations.
