WICHITA LINEMAN--GLEN CAMPBELL (NEW ENHANCED VERSION) 1968

[@Lyle-ge2db]

I met my wife in Wichita while stationed there in 1968. This was one of our favorites songs. She suddenly passed in 2017 after nearly 50 years of marriage. This song takes me right back to when I met her. Thank you.

Lyle: So sorry for your loss. I lost my wife a year ago. It's really difficult trying to go on living without them. One day at a time is what works for me. But grief is different for everyone. Take care....

[@tinydancer62]

@@polikwaptiwache397 My condolences to both you and Lyle. May the memories you both had with your wives bring you comfort. Lyle, how wonderful that you had 50 years with the love of your life.

[@RachelTullerBazzy]

Lyle, I am so sorry for your loss. Hold on to those lovely memories.

[@Lyle-ge2db]

Rachel Bazzy Thank you Rachel.

[@tinydancer62]

Very sorry for your loss, Lyle.

[@Lyle-ge2db]

Such a beautiful song…perfectly enhanced. I found out today that Kenn Wingle passed away in January of 2022. After all this time waiting and wondering why he stopped posting his beautifully enhanced songs, I finally read a comment on his Keith 98.6 song confirming he had passed. Devastating news for me. He helped many of us relive the music we love from the 60s and 70s. He will be missed very much. Condolences to his family. Thank you Kenn. Rest in Peace my friend.

My dad was a lineman and loved this song......I really miss him

[@fearwidge]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time. But it's NEVER sounded as good as it does after receiving "The Magic Wingle Treatment." Just GLORIOUS. Thank you, Kenn.

[@jamesmonroe7903]

A winning hand-Glen Campbell’s vocal,Jimmy Webb’s songwriting,The Wrecking Crew’s playing and the magic of Kenn Wingle’s enhancements in making this 50-plus year old record sound oh-so-better than ever!JACKPOT!!!

[@Dana-wq5tp]

Some of you may not know this but Glen was part of the Wrecking Crew at one time. An excellent, underrated guitarist.

[@jamesmonroe7903]

Dana James I knew about that,Dana! If my facts are right Glen was in The Wrecking Crew during their session work with The Beach Boys when that group asked him to tour with them after Brian Wilson was forced to give up touring due to his hearing/emotional issues. Glen was with The Besch Boys for six months and then went solo for good! Brian Wilson stayed on with The Beach Boys as their studio leader/composer and Bruce Johnston of The Rip Chords joined up as both a studio and touring member of The Beach Boys! PS-if my facts are still right,Bruce Johnston was the ACTUAL writer of Barry Manilow’s famous hit “I Write The Songs”! Lotsa folks don’t know that! I didn’t for years!

[@boblewis1227]

Great song! Used to sing this song in my truck when worked for utility company. ROCK ON!

[@daytripper9222]

It doesn't get any better than this. I could play this over and over.

[@ThePhantommigkiller]

I Love It Kenn , One Of My Very All Time Hit Songs By Glen Campbell !

[@RachelTullerBazzy]

This is SUCH a GREAT SONG. What a voice. My parents had several of Glen Campbell's albums when I was a kid. (sigh) I'm sure Glen and my Dad are in heaven together, pickin' and singing :)

[@tropicalpancake56]

"And I need you more than want you"......such beautiful words and description of one's love.....Forever grateful, Mr.Campbell and Mr.Jimmy Webb.

[@markmcginnis17]

I was 12 years old when I first heard this song, also my first Glen Campbell song. At that young of age I didn’t understand why I really like this song but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate it more and more and finally today , at 64 now and listening to this remarkable recording, it warms my heart and soul, thank you!

[@mistery-ed7900]

...and I need you more than want you and I want you for all time. Unforgettable

[@tinydancer62]

My favorite lines ever, in any song. My 2nd favorite, written by Brian Wilson: "I may not always love you But as long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you."

[@chaplainjoseph4444]

I have always considered "Wichita Lineman" the best of Glen Campbell's work. And what a collection of interpretations concerning the adult themes of Jim Webb's writing he created. You have done a wonderful favor for all of us by putting your special touch to this unforgettable masterpiece. Thank you for sharing with everyone.

[@DavidLee-zy3ju]

Absolutely beautiful and haunting song. One of my all-time favourites even though I was only 3! I grew up listening to lots of 60s music and the Beatles were my parents faves.

[@markhull1366]

Glen was always one of my favorites and this song was at the top. I watched one of Glen's last performances when his alzheimers was really taking it's toll. Alzheimers is such a cruel disease and it was so sad to see such a great musician/singer go that way. RIP Glen.

[@1910FruitgumCompany]

what an OUTSTANDING job you have done.... i grew up with these songs.... and honestly they have NEVER sounded better..!!

[@blakegregory969]

Beautiful....

[@tropicalpancake56]

Simply beautiful...

[@megawattti]

such a great moving song and in fantastic stereo

[@danhardisty1]

This brings back some memories. Lucky for us you are such a perfectionist! Thank you.

[@mjnc3672]

If memory serves me right, Carol Kaye of the famous "Wrecking Crew" played bass on this, while Glen played the solo at 1:47.

[@billducas]

My favorite Glen Campbell song. I was hoping you'd get around to doing this one. Your added guitar part gave it that little extra something.

[@alanallison263]

Excellent mix

[@rodin2850]

When music was MUSIC !!!!

[@manctube2024]

More glen Campbell please. Many Thanks......

[@EricMontreal22]

I'm a huge fan of this era of Jimmy Webb's songs--the added guitar especially makes an impression

[@sakurafermina229]

Beautiful!❤

[@Dana-wq5tp]

Jimmy Webb's greatest song by far. Just an amazing, once in the lifetime melody. I can only imagine what he was thinking when he finally nailed the chord sequence....."SHIT YEAH!"

[@cinematic35]

Yeah--that song is pure musical GENIUS! To be able to create a melody that goes with the right chords and words is something to be wondered at. No one on the radio today can do it. In fact some of the disgusting rancor coming out of the radio I have heard better could be used as an initiation into a madhouse or an insane asylum! It really pisses me off. It would be better to close down the recording studios and radio stations than allow that kind of brain damaging noise fed to the public!

[@Dana-wq5tp]

@@cinematic35 I agree 100%. The songwriting standards today are abysmal. Or at least what's making it to the mainstream airwaves. I'm sure there are artists who are genuinely talented, recording on their own and in all probability, will never go anywhere because they don't have the ability to get their music out to the masses. Very sad indeed.

[@tommythomason6187]

Song has a soothing quality to it, even though it effects a sense of loneliness.

[@fredricbloom5781]

I am usually against enhancing classics that do not really need enhancing,but The Music Enhancement Channel understands that, less is more. Most of the time the sounds blend perfectly. I have relative pitch, and can tell within thirty seconds whether something sounds fake. Keep up the good work!

[@stevengogg1680]

You did it again! Way to bring The Wrecking Crew to the forefront!!! I love the bass solo by Glen using Carol's bass!!!

[@tinydancer62]

Yes!

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Jimmy Webb was a monster writer. He also did MacAurter Park as well

[@marcm9999]

Great job on a great song.

[@konfoooshus6209]

Really good. Thank you.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Another great job on a great song.

[@markgrant5305]

Superb production. The first existentialist pop song?

[@BW92116]

Great song by the great Jimmy Webb

[@OuryLN]

Where’s Galveston?

[@waltman333]

Kenn, did you add in the "dialing pulses" or were they in the original recording? I didn't remember hearing them back in the day......I used to work for "Long Lines" ?

[@noscrubbubblez6515]

Do I hear harpsichord arpeggioes around @2:02? Heady stuff.

[@clicks59]

How can I get the WAV file, Kenn? Most excellent!

[@MyUnderTone]

Glenn, can u enhance, "Nights on Broadway" by the BeeGees? --thx

[@cinematic35]

My name is Kenn not Glenn. Nights on Broadway huh? I like the extended version best. Too many requests. Do you know how many requests I get with 20 million hits on this channel?

[@MyUnderTone]

@@cinematic35 Sorry, my friend. I can only imagine the amount of requests but i figured I'd give it a try :-)

[@michaelstevens6002]

Well Kenn, you nailed this one... stay away from Motown though .... please! lol

[@oldgoody1]

This was not only a huge hit for GC but also won a Grammy for best engineered song of 1968. Would it have won if there was a serious flaw like too bassy a vocal? I don't know if you've tried to EQ the vocal but the bottom end of Carol Kaye's bass line here is very weak. And your guitar line's roughness stands out against the polished backing of the Wrecking Crew and string and horn sections. Why not just enjoy the original as it is? It sets a high standard.
