    The Kansas town starts with a "W". The song was written by Jimmy Webb.

    This is a little cryptic. If no one tumbles what it is, I can give some clues.

    You are both correct, so far. Life, in this case.

    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    2. Phil Collins

    Poke poke....

    Clues needed?

    These might be about the biggest songs each of the artists had. Pop songs anyway. Not sure how big some of Glen Campbell's country hits were. His was a big hit on both country and pop charts.
