I'm from Arkansas born and raised here. From white Hall Arkansas. Awesome video hope you enjoy your time here in Arkansas. Lots of beautiful things to see here.

Had the honor of seeing Mr Campbell live after he had been diagnosed with AD, he asked the audience to sing along with him and also not to be surprised if he had to restart songs because he was starting to forget some lyrics .. he sang everything perfectly, I treasure that night.

[@melijegasini2014]

I was fortunate to see him on his last tour. I was blown away at how he still rocked the guitar and how robust his voice was, just as usual. He was truly an icon and a leader that so many will be following for decades!

[@leannbrooks218]

This is so special! Back in the late 70’s, my dad had Glen Campbell 8 track tapes. I learned every word to every song he had. I still listen to Glen all the time. My dad is sick with lung cancer so Glen’s music is one of many things that make me think of my dad as a young man. Good job

[@grantjackson7325]

Doesn't sound good but I wish you both well.

[@kennethhoneycutt2481]

Sorry to hear about your dad, my first 8track tape I bought at 13 was Glen's greatest hits. He remains my favorite entertainer.

Many years ago, they were having a Glenn Campbell concert at the Paul Paul Theatre in the Fresno Fair Grounds. I was crossing the street to get into the fair, and they were playing Amazing Grace and the bag pipes were playing just like on that recording. That's amazing that they've got that song set off by motion in that graveyard. It does blow my mind. He was amazing back in the 1960's. Very popular.

Oh boy Glen was also a session guitarist he worked with so many, one heck of guitar player! One of his Classics and my favorites as a kid was Witchita Lineman! He was a Genius songwriter and player . A beautiful job Jordan Ty for showing us!

I am a lineman for the county....Loved Glen Campbell. Remembering when he was with Tanya Tucker, what a disaster that was. It was upsetting to see the downward spiral his life was taking while using drugs and alcohol. Glad he turned it around and was surrounded with those who loved him until the end of his life.

[@1927su]

I still think they loved each other but we’re too caught up in all the craziness of those times

[@garyhume6534]

Glen was a great guitar picker very well respected, loved him in true grit one of my favs.. Great vlog jordan!!!

[@matthewfarmer6830]

I have a greatest hits CD that only has 12 songs of his, did you know even rock stars love Glen Campbell music cause he's timeless. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🎸

[@bonniebrown6960]

I didn't know Glenn Campbell was buried in Arkansas nor did know he was from Arkansas. I like that they have music playing at the cemetery. Rhinestone Cowboy was my favorite song Glenn Campbell sang when I was a little girl. Thank you Jordan for sharing all of these stories I didn't know about Glenn Campbell. May he RIP.

[@BoomerBlogging]

IMHO Glen Campbell was one of the greatest entertainers ever to come from America. He did it all (singer, songwriter, musician, concerts, TV, and movies) - and - he did it for and with the best in his field (including Elvis). I saw Glen Campbell live only once in concert (as I did once with Elvis) and he did not disappoint - in fact, he was as good as gets! Glen Campbell's passing has left a gap in the entertainment world that simply will never be filled - and that fact is not just in my humble opinion! Thanks Jordan, this was a respectful, well-research, and nicely presented Vlog. As usual - you rock Jordan as you continue to remind us of the richness we had - and - have in our lives!

[@janmarchand7294]

This so ironic that you're visiting his grave today. Yesterday I had a hankering to put Wichita Lineman (my personal favorite) in My Music and enjoyed listening to it again. He had such a wonderful voice! Also, when my husband was a young man, (he's 72) he and a friend wanted to ride by Glen's home and Glen's parents were outside and invited them to sit down with them and answered questions about their son. Such a nice thing to do, in the South that means Glen was raised by Good people. Thanks for the video Jordan.

[@catcren5613]

We live in Little Rock and found the grave about three weeks ago. I love that he returned to his humble roots. No special shrine or pomp and circumstance. The music at the cemetery surprised us too! There is a picture out there on the internet of him visiting this family cemetery, which really touched me. PS-welcome to Arkansas! I hope you made some other stops before you left.

[@oldermusiclover]

he had that gift from childhood from all I have read about him also people who played in the Wrecking Crew said he could not read music but could play something after hearing it once

[@markdraskovics5274]

HEY, JORDAN & JAH YEAH, GLEN CAMPBELL was one of My parents favorite Country and western Singer and songwriter They played his Records all the time and they also watched The TV show he did And I also enjoyed listening to his Music Well ok Thank you for doing this awesome videos On one of country music greatest Stars Take care stay safe and will see you on the next video

[@srhew6116]

Although I never heard of him, I enjoyed listening to Glen's voice through the trees.

[@2181998tjd]

Good blog! My brothers and I liked his song "Pretty Paper" during Christmas time growing up.

[@SueProv]

That documentary was amazing. I remember Glen as a little girl on his tv show , just barely, but I had a crush on him.. As an adult, incredibly impressed with his musicianship and his joy of collaborating with so many of the greats in entertainment. I love him with Roy Clark.

[@marywright6759]

Another great blog. A great musician. I'm glad he saw the light and changed his life. So sad that alzheimers had to affect the end of his life. It's so hard on the caregiver.

@@marywright6759 We're dealing with it in a lovely family member now. So far, it's just short term memory.

The Plaque says it all, one of the great guitar players and singers of all time. Hope your trip in Arkansas was enjoyable.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Glen Campbell legend of the music industry and very much loved and adore by New Zealanders . He came for a concert here , which was cancel due to his illness before he died . He was an amazing man despite his personal life , he love his fan to the end . Love the music playing in the background at the cemetery nice touch . And your grandmother story , she had a great sense of humor 💛. Thanks so much for visiting his grave Jordan and Jah it was so tranquil, have a wonderful day . 💛💛💛

[@djdiscoworm]

my dad was good friends with Glenn. my dad was a Dj for the L.aa. basin and was a distributing editor in the capital building in the early '60s my dad was a major drinker and really mean, he and Glenn would perform at nightclubs in Hollywood. drinking buddies. my dad's stage name was Smiley Monroe from Keyser, West Virginia. thanks, Jordon

[@historywithaugust]

If you happened to see the big aquarium on 76 when you went to Branson, that was the site of the Grand Palace theater where Glen played shows at for a few years.

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank Goodness we had his music. He had Great hair. Thanks Jordan for sharing.

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Indeed my favorite singer. I still remember singing along his Top Hits during the 1970's when I was a kid. When he was with Tanya Tucker they were living here in Phoenix, Arizona. I also loved his Bag Pipes, he played them well. A link to his Scottish heritage. Once again, Jordan. Great Vlog, Thank You ! :)

[@karenleemallonee684]

I can barely remember Glens variety show from when I was little, I mostly have memories of the Christmas show which was my favorite. Loved Glens hits when I was growing up, Rhinestone Cowboy and one other one that I can't recall at the moment. All of his music was really wonderful! I'm so happy for him that he was able to stay sober and make amends with his past. Rest in Peace, Mr Campbell 🌹.

Glen Campbell was a favorite of mine, I watched his documentary and teared up a lot, sad watching him with the Alzheimer’s.. I don’t know why my message got retracted on the live, but I didn’t do it ?? Great Vlog Jordan😊

[@markgregory1959]

Well Jordan, welcome to Arkansas! The Natural State. Glen Campbell was a favorite, seen him at Branson, have a signed 8x10. My sister got to meet him back stage with her friend Barbara Fairchild. You should check out Jim Dandy Mangrum at Black Oak Arkansas, the original wild man. And don't forget Lavon Helm born in Elaine, Arkansas, grew up in Turkey Scratch, near Marvell, Arkansas. Elvis played for the first time Heartbreak Hotel at Swifton, Arkansas. He did 2 shows, one at the school and the later show was at Bob Kings night club on Rock and Roll highway 67. Location is still there, building has burned. In Newport visit the rock and roll highway 67 museum. Don't mis out. Early days of rock and roll.

I remember the tabloid blowing up when Glen Campbell hooked up with very young Tanya Tucker. Anyway...I believe he was the best male singer and musician. Loved EVERYTHING he did!

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

It’s a shame people don’t recognize what a musical genius was Glen Campbell. He was a genius on the guitar and a top tier artist. Thanks for this. I am such a huge fan of his.

[@oldermusiclover]

I had a piece of music from his show that was sent to me, sadly it was with all the other music that was lost when I moved from the home I grew up in

[@1927su]

There are some of us that do know & it’s great isn’t it? My ex didn’t think he was that talented & I said obviously you’ve never heard him really pick. And once I showed him, he actually stood corrected, a most unusual thing for him to do, admit truth- but boy nobody out there can deny that he was one of the best pickers ever to live

[@cindyjohnson2300]

This moved me. Thank you Jordan, Glen is smiling down on you. Done with so much respect.

[@chuckmadden2251]

My grandpa gave me his Gentle On My Mind album when I was really young, always loved it. His last album Ghost on a Canvas is amazing. Songs by Robert Pollard (GBV) and title song by Paul Westerberg of the Replacements.

Always great production on his songs. Thanks 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@jacobsmith4025]

When I was a kid around 7 or 8, my family and i lived in Nashville briefly, and we regularly went to the Opryland Hotel and Opryland USA theme park. During those formative years of my life i fell in love with country music, and really enjoyed listening to Glen Campbell, so this vlog really is cool and sentimental to see. He was a very unique musician and singer, and always love seeing people paying tribute to him even today, Thanks buddy for yet another incredible vlog. Great work!!!

[@biarritz84]

There's videos of Glen's Goodbye Tour from 2012 on KZbin & you can watch him performing Rhinestone Cowboy in the different videos & you can see how quickly he was deteriorating just during the course of that final tour 😥

[@redlady8296]

I watched an entire documentary filmed on his last tour from start to finish. I want to say it was on HBO but I may be mistaken cause it’s been a few years. Yeah you absolutely could see his deterioration and it was heartbreaking. That documentary was beyond awesome though. I’d highly recommend it.

[@plymouthduster225]

Another great vlog Jordan Love watching your channel i was hoping that you would swing through Arkansas and stop and see Glen Campbell's hometown and gravesite. I plan to go there someday myself. I also want to go Dyess Arkansas where Johnny Cash grew up. Even though he was born in Kingsland Arkansas he moved to Dyess with his family when he was 3 years old. I believe that it's a really small town. But surely there is something there about Johnny Cash. Have a great day buddy, safe travels.

[@kansasswamperson5880]

Well Brother Jordan, we just about crossed paths at Campbell Cemetery. I was down there nearly at the same time. The budding trees looked no different from when I was there. I'm 59, and one of my memories from half a century ago was watching the "Glen Campbell Good Time Hour." Your grandmother probably did a pretty good impersonation of Glen. He would turn-up that back woods accent when he talked about his hometown of "Dee-light" Arkansas. He was a hometown boy who did good, had a lot of success, but made some bad decisions along the way, and then ultimately made the greatest decision by believing and trusting in the Lordship of JESUS, where found "True Love." "Duke" Wayne won that Academy Award for "True Grit," because he gave a great performance, but Glen Campbell was pretty good, too. I know that I enjoyed a previous video about John Wayne's yacht that you produced earlier. Keep it up, and we'll continue to "travel" with y'all. PS - If I known that you were coming through the area I would have let you know where you could have picked up some outstanding, award winning BBQ from friends of mine who live Delight. They operate a Food Trailer called "Lotta Bull BBQ," that they set up in different towns in the area on different days. I don't know if you like BBQ, but I'm pretty sure that your traveling crew would have loved the burnt ends. ;)
