Mykesbass Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I know this is a huge Marmite song around here - but here it is in all its camp glory with Will Lee putting in a pretty decent vocal performance [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/05/20/will-lee-with-the-cbs-orchestra-macarthur-park/"]http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/05/20/will-lee-with-the-cbs-orchestra-macarthur-park/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 He's a great player, and that's a great band. Paul Shaffer, too... an original Blues Brothers band member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yep great version, I posted this last year. WL does a terrific job along with an outstanding Orchestra. Love the cake at the end... Wasn't Will the voice of Ronald MacDonald many moons ago? I am sure I read that somewhere. I know he did commercial vocal sessions as well as Bass.
