Glen is a true legend. A session guitar player with a bunch of guys called the wrecking Crew. Played on everyone from Frank Sinatra, Elvis to the Monkees and the Beach Boys.

When you see how all the great artists on stage with him were mesmerized by him, you can see why Glen Campbell was so huge in the 60's and 70's. Right off I recognized Waylon Jennings, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, and Ray Stevens (the man he talked to while playing). Others on stage with him were Chet Atkins, Lorrie Morgan, Lynn Anderson, Bobby Bare, T. Graham Brown, Ralph Emery, Janie Fricke, Barbara Fairchild, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Geezinslaw Brother, Ferlin Husky, Dan Seals, T.G. Sheppard, B.J. Thomas, Ricky Van Shelton, Porter Wagoner, and Gene Watson. Some more great songs are "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Southern Nights", "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", and his cover of "Yesterday, When I Was Young"

That beautiful woman in blue on his right is Crystal Gayle, Loretta Lynn's little sister. That stage is covered with country music legends and every one of them is sitting back quietly giving himthe spotlight while deeply loving every note... that should tell you where Glen Campbell fits into the picture. He literally shut up Waylon & Willie, something most people thought impossible. Arguably the single greatest guitarist to ever hit the stage, although Roy Clark (black shirt, curly hair) could give him a run for his money even on a bad day. I have seen them perform together on stage and it was nothing short of miraculous.

[@riccottrell7179]

I'm 67 & still a long haired rocker, young at heart. Glen was my first idol & helped shape the way I sing. He was the first Country & Pop crossover star. Keep in mind he's playing like that on an acoustic guitar. Eddie Van Halen asked Glen's golf partner Alice Cooper to see if he could arrange guitar lessons from Glen. Jimmy Webb songs launched both their careers. Glen was an intrical part of the Wrecking Crew he could play anything & sing anything. He had a summertime show when the Smothers brothers summer break. It helped launch his career. If you tro see him do amazing guitar work checkout his version of the 'William Tell overture, which he does on an electric 12 string. Glen had a unique way of using a pick & his other fingers to pluck strings. His first hit was the one you saw, then 'By the time I get to Phoenix his first Jimmy Webb song, Wichita lineman & Galveston the last 2 being picked as 2 of the best Country songs ever recorded or released. Again Jimmy Webb songs.His biggest hits were Rhinestone cowboy again like the song you played Glen had an ear for how a song should sound, always making it his. Southern nights mainly cuz a decade later there were a lot more people in the Country & Vietnam was over. My favorite album wasn't a commercial hit but Reunion with all Jimmy Webb songs the best 'The moon's a harsh mistress' sung by many, but none better than Glen. He sang with Cher Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, David Gates of Bread the principal songwriter & singer of Bread. He literally could sing & play anything he wanted to & without a care in the world, he was that talented. His last song which he won a Grammy for was 'Im not gonna miss you' after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's & toured with 3 of his kids in the band, his daughter Ashley has written songs & had success. He was either in stage 2 or 3 & Dr's didn't think he'd last on your more than a couple weeks to a month. With his daughter Ashley who studied music plays guitar, keyboards & banjo truly helped him stay in the moment. A documentary was filmed during the tour called 'I'll be me' Glen starred in True Grit with John Wayne & Glen joked that John proved to the academy, that if he could carry Glen's sorry ass in a movie, he deserved an Oscar. Personally like the Rock & roll hall of shame, there's too much BS, politics & ass kissing. Glen didn't cuss that's me. Lol! One of his best vocals which shows his range is his version of Conway Twitty's 'Only make believe' Now when you get serious about Grand Funk & their principal songwriter Mark Farner I can give you every song on every album & who wrote what. They never had critical acclaim. But from 1969 to 74+75 nobody sold more LP's. They sold out Shea stadium in 72 hours same way of selling tickets & it took the Beatles 2 weeks & they had radio, TV & every teenage girl just about in the US, Britain & the world. Mark toured with Ringo's All star band for 2 years & at 76 in still going strong & still singing in the same keys. I played at least 12 of their songs from 1975 in Spain till cancer cut my music career & any other career short in 93. But I proved every Dr & specialist wrong & continue to. I'm too mean for cancer to have a chance. Lol! It was my 9 & 12 year old son's & my wife who stayed sober for 33 years & my research. I found the treatment protocol & Oncologist to beat stage 3 Melanoma @ the base of my neck 36 square CM's removed by a hack general surgeon who used a cauterizer, instead of calling in the plastic surgeon like he promised if he removed anything larger than a thumb around. Never mentioned King Kong~ But I'm here & have my home studio which keeps me semi sane. Lol! Love your channel & know just about every artist you do. I played everything from the 50's to 90's my oldest loved Hip hop & Rap & my youngest hard rock. 90's till 2005. 2015 I lost my oldest son he was first an Insane clown Posse fan then Tech 9. He was allowed back stage with them anytime they were in the Phoenix Valley. But he had his Dad's songs on his playlist as well. There's nothing in life harder than losing a child. Don't think you guys are there yet, but never let them leave without a hug & an I love you. My only solace in life. Doesn't hurt to do the same with each of you. Didn't have any effect on my marriage, it was a family curse that his her in her early 50's. Luckily I met her in Spain at 16 when I was 17. Life goes on or you get your ass runover~ I think that was Ed Sullivan Lol!

[@danastearns7939]

Glenn Campbell - an icon and legend. Self-taught, can't read music, hears it and plays it and will add his own touches and guitar styles. A very good soft and easy voice too. His first hit: "By the time I get to Phoenix" (slow, heartfelt song of broken relationship). After this hit, he went on and recorded: Wichita Lineman and Galveston and Try a little Kindness - just to name a few. Fell on hard times, then made a nice revival in 75/76 with hits: Rhinestone Cowboy and Southern Nights. Began career as a sessions guitarist and vocalist with The Wrecking Crew. Requested by many big timers, including Frank Sinatra. One of the greatest guitarists of all times, although those talents were appreciated/recognized until his later years. Several rock guitarists sought lessons from him - including Alice Cooper and Van Halen. To get the true understanding of his talents with a guitar, check out a video from Wings of Pegasus site of Glenn playing a 12-string guitar to the tune of The Lone Ranger theme. Simply amazing. RIP Mr Campbell.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s he hosted his own weekly television variety show "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" that I remember watching each week.

[@joel65913]

He was highly esteemed within the music industry. Though he rose to his highest prominence in the country world as others have said when he was a member of the Wrecking Crew he played on a huge variety of different bands recordings. His peak period as far as mass appeal was the early 70's when he had his own variety show-The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which used Gentle on My Mind as its theme song-for several years. It was a fascinating and true variety show is the amazing array of guests he had on throughout the run. Anyone from Johnny Cash, The Monkees and a just starting out Linda Ronstadt to Liza Minnelli, Cher, Tony Bennett or John Wayne would pass through sometimes on the same program. The series streams on various channels and is well worth checking out. Many of his biggest hits has a forlorn, plaintive quality similar to this song. "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" all were enormous hits that share that vibe and towards the end of that decade he scored again with "Southern Nights" and one of his biggest successes "Rhinestone Cowboy".
