My Dad was a lineman in the Midwest for 35 years. He walked in 5 minutes late to work one morning and his boss asked him why he was late. He explained that Wichita Lineman came on the radio as he was pulling in. The whole crew nodded approvingly and his boss said it was an acceptable excuse. Glen Cambell was such a legend.

I am an African American grandmother. I was living in Dallas, Texas, 1968, and I was 20, when this was released. The first time I heard this on the radio....I just couldn't get enough of it! It was so melodic, so heart-wrenching.....and I just LOVE minor chords within a song. This was not being played on the R&B station, KNOK, at the time; so I would hunt through all the channels until I found a Country Western Station, or POP station so I could hear this gem. I have never forgotten this song. It tells such a beautiful story of love. RIP Mr. Campbell, from one 'crossover sister.'

They listened to country music as well as Aretha, Sam Cook and Johnny Mathis. I am so thankful I can appreciate all music because my parents exposed me to a wide variety. When Glen Campbell came on the radio my parents would sing along. One of my best memories is of the three of us singing Wichita Lineman together and on key (smile). I miss the music of my youth so very much.

I didn't know who he was, so I kept in mind that magic line - and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time - until I got home and googled it. What a fortunate discovery. Knowing about his condition, I can't help being grateful for what he is leaving us with: all the emotions and memories of a time where songwriting was a much more thoughtful, heartfelt and inherently artistic act than it is today.

Just talked about him on the news. I think the family had to put him under some kind of full time care now. There was a female and male talking about him. Idk if children or Niece and Nephew. I was asleep and part of one of his songs woke me up. Love Glen Campbells music. Anyway the reporter asked if he still plays the guitar and the male said he has a couple guitars in his room and can still play better than him on a bad day. Lol. Ok just read up on him. He is a resident at Nashville Memory Care and in the final stages of Alzheimers. So sad. We just lost Gene Wilder to it. I will confess though, this is my favorite Glen Campbell song. Driving to the farm with Dad as a kid in the seventies and this song came on. I fell in love with it then. It always reminds me of that memory and my childhood. And you are right, Glen is forever.

@@dwaynereese1047 Roy was incredible. One of a kind. Rockabilly music with an operatic voice. I have said many times that when Roy did a song, he owned it. No one covered it because no one could measure up. Except Glen. I saw Glen do "Crying", and it was every bit as well done as Roy did it. Hard to tell the difference.

Even factoring in all the accolades he's received over the years, I still consider Glen Campbell to be so very underrated. A prolific entertainer; an incomparable singer with perfect diction, timing, pitch, and with a natural smoothness to his voice. One of the best guitar players there ever has been. A writer, an actor, a comedian, a host. He acted with John Wayne in True Grit, as well as sang the theme song. His talent was tremendous, a gift from God. I will miss him so much--

I will be 60 in February and it’s funny how music can immediately transport you right back to that place and time; for me it’s long 12 hour road trips in the family car with my 4 older sisters, Mommy and Daddy, (yes, I’m southern) on a visit to my grandparents house. My parents are both gone now and 1 beautiful sister, too, but just for the few minutes of listening, they are all right here beside me and all is right with my world!

She asked me if there were any 'Albums" that I were interested in, I happened to say that I like Glen Campbell....She bought me 'Wichita Lineman". I took it home and played it on the family 'Motorola' stereo system. WL was the finest song that I have ever heard up to that point. To this day, I will never forget how totally awesome this song was!!!!
