Glen Campbell is considered one of the best country guitarists ever. He syarted off as a session guitarist, part of The Wrecking Crew, which were used when another artist needed the very best musicians on their recordings. He was part of the recording and touring Beach Boys for awhile and then went solo, having a bunch of hits. This video is from his TV variety show, which is why it looks smaller and more intimate, because it's just a live audience in a television studio.

[@tarafied7322]

This clip is an example.of his great guitar playing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4XOq35vpb2An9Esi=Sc9Ezz8wTI86F3p4

[@thomastimlin1724]

Why just "country" guitar player? He played everything...on Beach boys records, rock, country, pop. He was an all around guitar player in my book. Jimmy Webb was not even a country music writer, they just put a spin on him that way. Glen was considered one of the first truly country music crossover artists, which led to Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton, and even Taylor Swift today whether people like her or not today. They tried to pin the country label on Linda Ronstadt back in the day too, but she transformed herself out of that limited role, as she was a singer first, not a slave to a genre. I like some country music, but my musical tastes are wide.

[@dsusan17]

Glenn Campbell is LEGEND! One of the greatest instrumentalists of all time. He was also in the original True Grit. Go down his catalog. You will not be disappointed. Great reaction

[@tammydodge388]

If you want to experience his guitar talent, listen to him play "The William Tell Overture". I do believe you will be at least impressed, if not amazed! I really enjoy your reactions AB!

[@aletmartins6940]

Amazing guitarist.

[@vickiroman189]

In my ears, this has always been one of the most gorgeous songs ever.

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for reacting to this great legend. I grew up listening to his music. Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. He had a lot of hits such as "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", "Gentle On My Mind", "Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife", "Galveston", "Try A Little Kindness", "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Southern Nights" etc. Sadly he got Alzheimer's later in life. The last song he recorded was "I'm Not Gonna Miss You".

[@mikemaricle9941]

Don't forget Galveston.

[@loveloochay]

🔥🔥 ..love it AB .. Glen has a number of great hits .. he is considered one of the best guitarist in Country Music .. try "Gentle On My Mind" .. love it ..

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Glen’s voice is magic here. No strain, smooth, sweet, and pure. Breath control off the charts. I appreciate this even more today because I don’t take this talent for granted anymore. The way he sustains those lines! Heaven

[@elisaabolafia9542]

My favorite song by him. Smooth voice. Sweet love song. ❤️"I need you more than want you" Great line. Back in those days, the song PRODUCTION was major part of the song. Violin sections etc. Thanks for this❗

[@phyl1042]

The Goodtime Hour was Glen's own tv variety show. He was the host.

[@thomastimlin1724]

He started out with a summer replacement show in 1968 for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, so by January 1969 he had his own show from then until Spring 1972. In-between the summer replacement show and January 1969, he filmed True Grit with John Wayne and Kim Darby. Tommy Smothers just died a week or so ago at age 86....

[@Summermute7]

“Southern Nights” is my favorite, but “Rhinestone Cowboy” is probably his biggest song.

[@jmacd9552]

One of my favorite Glen Campbell songs is his last. "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" with the home movies it is sad but comforting.

[@vickiroman189]

Absolutely - heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@beedeegee9374]

“Galveston” is one of my favorite Glen Campbell songs, but that’s a hard choice because his catalog is filled with great music.

[@jamesferris4573]

This song was written by Jimmy Webb from Oklahoma, where I worked as an electrical distribution lineman until a serious accident in the early 80s. The song, however, is about a telephone lineman back in the day when the telephone lines were strung above ground. I was an electrical lineman during that time, and I love Glenn Campbell and especially this song, but having telephone and then cable TV lines strung on power poles made more of an obstacle to climb over and sometimes through the service drops. Lol

[@dogloversmith7139]

I love this song. I cry all through it and have no idea why. It’s melancholy and so am I.

[@jeffyounger8092]

I cry because it reminds me of watching the TV show as a kid with my parents, or riding in the backseat with my sisters in my mom's 1969 T Bird and hearing this on the 8 Track. Just a beautiful song that captures an era for people of my age, and the people, now gone, who were a part of those memories.

[@Kathryne0816]

Glen Campbell is indeed a legend. In 1969, his records outsold the Beatles. He is probably one of the most underrated guitarists in music - not just country music. His versions of the William Tell Overture are truly remarkable - you'll find one on an acoustic guitar, and one on an electric guitar - either one will blow you away. I also second the "Ghost Riders in the Sky" duet with Roy Clark. It's only three minutes long, but is amazing for how much the two of them can jam into 3 minutes. BTW, Glen was a friend of Elvis, and (as part of the Wrecking Crew) played on the Viva Las Vegas soundtrack. Elvis covered several of his songs. You would also like his cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying." Multiple Grammys, CMAs and ACM awards. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

[@TheMafrand]

hands down one of the best songs ever

[@blujurnee]

AB thank you so much for reacting to Glen. Brought back a lot of memories 😊❤ Can I recommend Rhinestone Cowboy? Great song

[@brendasimmons8149]

One of the most talented country music artist ever.

[@fatovamingus]

Recerting interview recently with Alice Cooper who was very good friends with Glen Campbell and called him one of the best songwriters and guitar players he ever met. A lot of people covered this song too . The changes are so beautiful how could you not

[@ChristyD067]

His people lived next door to my family in the 20’s-30’s Antoine, Pike Co., Arkansas! Love Glenn Campbell music ❤️❤️

[@757optim]

"By The Time I get To Phoenix", "Gentle On My Mind", "Galveston", and "Rhinestone Cowboy" were big hits. Any video that features his guitar playing - one is a live rendition of "Gentle On My Mind".

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

BRO, This Ovation guitar Glen is pictured singing here is my exact model I bought used. It has all the gold finishes on the tuning keys, including his signature inscribed in 24 k gold. It's a unique guitar in the shape and resonance. Another mastermind on stringed instruments is Roy Clark. There is a duet of guitars when Roy Clark and Glen Campbell perform "Ghost Riders In The Sky"! THANK YOU!

[@daventunes3822]

You're probably too young to remember telephone and telegraph lines, but the instrumentation evoked the tapping of the telegraph and the whine of the wind whistling against the telephone wires.

[@angieday5183]

One of the most played radio songs of the 20th century. One of the best guitar players of all time.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Your comment is the best way to describe Glen, with no musical genre labels...he played everything...

[@laurenamooney7851]

This brought back so many memories! My parents met when my dad got his telephone truck stuck in a blizzard in North Dakota. He became an electrical line foreman in Colorado and Nebraska, some Kansas and Wyoming. So, I enjoyed this song.

[@christinepacetti7092]

That's an awesome story Lauren! 💖

[@elisaabolafia9542]

Great story Lauren about your parents LOVE STORY ❣️ Thanks for sharing. This song is my favorite by him.

[@michellejackson6679]

Just started listening and you said he's playing guitar too.. Oh Heck yeah.. Glen Campbell one of the best guitar players ever. He gave guitar lessons to Eddie Van Halen and Alice Cooper I've heard.. not writing that in stone but Glen was a master with the guitar.

[@steve-pm9nf]

glen was a member of the beachboys from 64 to 65

[@blujurnee]

Really? I didn’t know that . Learn something new every day 😊

[@elisaabolafia9542]

BEACH BOYS ⁉️ That was need to me. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianwhitish5898]

The most beatiful song I have heard.

[@MommaBird52]

Glenn died of Alzheimer’s. After his diagnosis he was able to do an international tour for about 20 months. He was able to continue playing guitar on muscle memory. Check out his final recording I’m Not Going To Miss You.

[@guyturbide6348]

Dig that rabbit hole legend ❤❤❤❤❤

[@WRL64]

Glen was from Delight, Arkansas. Started as a session musician. People who would ride in his tour bus later in his career loved listening to oldies with him because more often than not, he'd chime in with "yep, played on that!" and would tell stories about the session. He replaced Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys for about a year on tour.

[@ed.z.]

You would not believe how many hit records Glen Campbell played on as a studio cat with the legendary Wreaking Crew. They were the group you used on your record for success. Glen had many hits and a stellar career.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Glenn was maybe the most recorded guitar player in the world as a member of The Wrecking Crew.

[@thomastimlin1724]

I'll never forget Glen telling the story in an interview of how he was merely playing acoustic guitar on Sinatra's Strangers in the Night, and Franks stopped the orchestra. He said: "Will you tell that kid on guitar over there to stop staring at me, let's start over" or something like that. it was Glen who was starstruck... years later they must have a big had a laugh about it.

[@sylvandelacruz]

No one ever played a 12-string guitar like Glen Campbell

[@martinacarson]

Glen Campbell rip you are missed !❤

[@RaynorBear]

... this was a clip from an episode of "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" where he sang this live. This was one of his big hits, but he had a lot, lot more!!!!

[@Svensk7119]

I believe his greatest hit was Rhinestone Cowboy. It was the one to which I danced as a three, four-year-old. He played alongside the Duke in the first True Grit. 60s, 70s were his time.

[@joankisloski6972]

Campbell was a touring member of the Beach Boys, filling in for Brian Wilson for several months.

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

Live version? No way. The studio recorded version of this song featuring the legendary Wrecking crew, is one of the great recordings of the 60s, an aural masterpiece.

[@jeffyounger8092]

No, this is totally live. The record had Glen play a Fender VI bass solo ... he WAS the Wrecking Crew, or at least the biggest part of it. And all of his live shows were AMAZING.

[@barbaracampbell7127]

Check out his guitar playing. Insane good.

[@quicksimplebeauty]

the story is that Glen was recording this, and Jimmy Webb, the composer, called and said he hadn't finished the 3rd verse -Glen told him he had it taken care of, Which was that guitar solo. Also, the line "I need you more than want you/and I want you for all time" is the best line ever in a POP/Country song

[@terryfirestone6342]

Also Gentle on my mind, .Rhinestone cowboy, Southern Nights

[@jennifer3735]

This song reminds me of my Dad and singing car karaoke ✌️ ❤️ 🇬🇧

[@pointermom7641]

Greatest country song EVAH

[@susanaquino9049]

He was huge.

[@siobhanroberts8627]

You must round out your country experience with Roy Clark. One of the true icons and most talented with almost any instrument. Malaguena show cases his skill. He and Glen Campbell performed together. His song Yesyerday when i was young is my favorite and shows his vocal skills. Beautiful man.

[@patticriss2238]

He was very good.

[@marlarogers9304]

Glenn Campbell Southern Nights

[@juletraylor5829]

thank you for taking a listen to mr glen......

[@snoodlegirl1794]

I saw his last tour and even in late 70s great voice

[@promiscuous675]

Thank you. I very much liked the bit where you looked up Mr. Campbell online to answer your questions. Maybe you could do that again in future, and if one of the song title jumps out at you try listening to that too.

[@ivansavoie3190]

Pretty sure it's Try a little Kindness, worth checking out please, if you've heard music from the 60s then you almost definitely heard Glen, as a studio musician he was on almost everything. great reaction.

[@francescafranks4421]

One of my favorite songs, I was a child when this song came out, but I've always loved it! Also I don't think he has a "comb over" I think that's just the way they wore their hair back in the late sixties (1968).

[@beckiramsey9561]

Awesome !👏👏👏👏 Great reaction AB!

[@juliacrabtree5198]

He's LEDGEND❤ His catalog is massive 🙌

[@user-rz7ug6tq6p]

He was in True Grit with John Wayne. Great actor too! Yes he probably was a babe in the 60s.

[@gxl5892]

No question one the best vocalists and instrumentalists, what a legend!!!!!

[@angieday5183]

The good time hour was his own TV show on for about 4 years

[@gretchenwilkins892]

My mom took me to see him and Jerry Reed in Tampa at Curtis Hixon Hall a long, long, time ago.

[@pkmadsen2850]

Ted Nugent has said that Glen Campbell is the best electric guitarist ever. Eddie Van Halen had inquired how to get lessons from him.

[@angieday5183]

This was #1 country, #3 on the pop charts

[@michellejackson6679]

This is also my second favorite Glen Campbell song of all time.. and he has many a hit... this came out when I was a baby or not born yet.. not sure.. I just love this song. My favorite is Gentle on my Mind.. and I don't know who told you he was from Arizona but that's not the case.. he was from Arkansas

[@emilyalice1]

Glenn Campbell was such a great guitarist and all round musician that people from all genres respected him. Eric Clapton once said that Glenn's finger movement left him 'awestruck.'

[@toodlescae]

Talented artist. I'll keep my opinion of him as a person to myself.

[@kathybwell]

I saw a video of Glenn performing not too long before he passed away. Even though he Alzheimer’s pretty bad at the time, he still had that smooth voice and somehow he remember the lyrics.

[@thewindle]

To see just how good he is on the guitar, may I suggest him doing The William Tell Overture. Member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@terryfirestone6342]

The name of the show was the Glen Campbell good time hour

[@deespillman2104]

Loved Rhinestone Cowboy and Southern Nights.

[@msvickiGa]

Wichita Kansas, on the Prarie, putting up power lines.

[@GeekyGirl80]

You are right, shows back then were smaller and closer to the artist. You can see it in the older concerts.

[@crystalbrewer2260]

Omg I love Glen Campbell

[@VicEclectica]

Back in the day there was quite a bit of crossover, so even though Glen Campbell was a country singer, you'd hear his music on the radio even if it wasn't a country station. He had a lot of hits, but I always really liked his By the Time I Get to Phoenix

[@taxiadaldaris3419]

checkout Bella Taylor Smith, blind audition on The Voice Australia 2021, singing Ava Maria, just beautiful

[@lorrigaines4902]

Just FYI - He was born in Arkansas not Arizona. A lot of people get the two mixed up. I’m from Arkansas, and we are proud of this hometown boy. May he RIP. Thanks as always for the great reaction!

[@reshaud81]

Check out Southern Nights 1982 with Jerry Reed and Galveston!

[@mrsphughes]

He was a great guitarist as well. But a song with great lyrics, listen to “Gentle on My Mind”

[@DavidSmith-xh5ou]

AB You should check out his live performance in Sioux Falls North Dakota. His best songs are Galveston and Try A little kindness. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

[@markweeks5094]

Show some respect for an artist who was among the greats

[@medicisdad1]

"old hard hair"; but you can't deny the skills and talents...

[@terrylynnheinrich8777]

Great rabbit hole to go down...such a talented man!

[@susanaquino9049]

Listen to "Gentle on My Mind." So good.

[@bjishername]

Glen Campbell has no comb over and he grew his hair long. Go and watch him sing McArthur's Park. He has long hair. Check out his songs. 👍

[@ricksaunders8074]

Glen 7th Son of a 7th Son Smooth voice btw he is a guitar man

[@elizabethlucas8778]

Glenn Campbell was crazy talented, he was know for his guitar work before he became a well know, talented vocalist. One that shows off vocals and guitar is MacArthur Park kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3LNh4etr7Fmqck Another that show off the great talent of him on guitar is the William Tell overture kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJu3emeMh71mb7s You might check these out. Also his hit Galveston shows off both vocal and guitar talents, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXYnHifodNoaLM He and Roy Clark outdid themselves with Ghost Riders in the Sky guitar duet, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJDOk5qgqNp2m8U You might like to check these out.

[@JL-is9rg]

For a first time listen I will never understand why reactors choose "live" versions over the studio. Often artists change the song up or their voice might be off or here the clapping covers some lyrics. I mean hey it's your channel so your show but it is something I wonder. Anyway favourite GC song as you call him is Gentle On My Mind

[@linlouharh3517]

His guitar is an acoustic guitar

[@rebeccalipps23]

I would point out that his hair is a side-part, not a combover. A side-part was a common men's hairstyle for men who wanted to keep their hair off their forehead & have a full head of hair. A combover is employed by men with thinning hair to disguise the thinness.

[@jcray2319]

Please React To Glen Campbell Live At The Troubadour .The Song By The Time I Get To Phoenix .it's Fantastic....

[@purplelove392]

It's not a comb-over, his hair's just parted on the side. A comb-over implies he's letting his hair grow long on the side, then combing it over to cover a bald head.

[@angieday5183]

See him play the William Tell Overture (long Ranger Theme) to see his guitar chops. Acoustic kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpPLpquhr8-oh8U Electric kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJu3emeMh71mb7s Did not read music

[@ZacharyHickman-cy8fy]

Hey, I liked this. 👍😎

[@10rcoleman]

It's a six string bass that your talking about

[@marie_d8044]

My very favorite version of this song is a cover by reggae legend Dennis Brown. It is incredibly haunting.

[@sandybourdeau9300]

This song is from the 60s

[@barbarabweaver1]

Try Galveston.

[@barbarabweaver1]

Or By the Time I Get to Phoenix

[@thomastimlin1724]

Year was 1968/69.

[@thomastimlin1724]

As a former school music teacher I appreciate your willingness to explore and react to all kinds of older music.. perhaps unintentionally, you help educate younger people on the great music they are missing out on. But I must say I hate the "Old School" label everyone uses. It is the same as saying this music is "Old Fart's music." I bet your grandma wouldn't like that comment...I cannot wait, even though I won't be alive, for the day I'll never see, when your descendants and others start calling you "Old School." The performers and songs were NEW SCHOOL at the time they were created and performed. Old school is an insulting term to the generation that created the great music you are reacting to, whether it's country, rock, Motown, R and B, Pop, or whatever stupid labels we use to describe music and separate us from each other. ["Separatism sucks...]. Everybody huddling in their own little musical corner, territorial nonsense...you never much hear someone call Beethoven or Tchaikovsky or Bach or Duke Ellington "Old school," because most people today have no damn clue who they were and they're not on the mainstream pop radio... a sad commentary on our country's lack musical, art and cultural education and knowledge, but at least you're busting those barriers down by what your are doing...good.

[@brucebaldwinson6316]

The radio recording is better, because of the guitar solo.

[@gladys6100]

YOU WOULD LIKE "RHINESTONE COWBOY" FROM HIM TOO!!😉

[@Mrtoodleloo]

Yo you should react to papa roach blood brothers bro!🔥
