Glen Campbell - By The Time I Get To Phoenix

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is an American pop song written by Jimmy Webb and made famous by Glen Campbell, whose version reached #3 on the U.S. Pop charts in 1967. It was originally recorded by Johnny Rivers in 1965. Enjoy!

[@jimsouthern1398]

Right after "...Phoenix" was released, Glen was on a tour with Red Foley and Lynn Anderson when he came to Salt LakeCity. After the show I went with Glen and his band to a local nightclub, where Glen jumped up on the stage and joined in with the house band. After that, we all went to an all-night coffee shop where we sat and talked until I had to leave at 5:30 AM to do my radio show. Glen was telling stories and jokes the whole time. It remains one of my most cherished memories

As a child in 1969. I faithfully watched "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" I enjoyed so much watching and hearing Glen sing and play Guitar. I wanted to be on his show. I wanted to sing and play Guitar with Glen. So, my Dad bought me and my kid Brother a cheap Acoustic Guitar. He said if you stick with the instrument, I'll get you a better one. So I taught myself to play guitar, and started to write my own songs . I was 13yrs. old. By the time I got pretty good, Glen's show was cancelled. But I did play in several bands through out the 70's & 80's.. I really enjoyed myself. But I never got to play with the greatest Singer/Guitarist Mr. Glen Campbell. 🎸🎵🤗

Wow, what a wonderful Story.

[@debbiemartin2026]

Same here. I took minor guitar lessons in elementary but I ran to my parents room, sat on the carpeted floor and waited every sunday to hear Glenn and see him play. He played a lot with a guy with long dark hair . Forget his name. Had a real crush on him and was sad in the 80’s when the tabloids started with him and Tanya. I did lose interest in his music in the 70’s but find myself so happy listening to him now at 67 and remembering a different time.

My dad loved Glen Campbell, and my dad could sing just like Glen. My dad sang in his church choir but never had any musical training lessons. I guess it just came to him naturally. Of all things, my dad's career choice was to be a professional firefighter for the city we live in, in Pennsylvania. My dad recently passed on, and hearing Glenn Campbell's voice reminds me of my dad singing to my mom in the kitchen whenever their favorite songs would play on the kitchen radio. Ironically when dad passed away, I found him, laying on his couch, looking so peaceful. Nearby was his radio turned on and playing to his favorite Country Music station. RIP mom and dad, thank you for being with me and your four other sons for 60+ years...

My gosh, this song -- and this performance -- reduces me to absolute mush. Glen Campbell is pure genius, his voice effortlessly produces the purest beauty. And the song itself... written by Jimmy Webb... what was going through his mind when he composed the music and lyrics? What is the source of the inspiration that can move another person to compose poetry and music which, when combined, brings the rest of us to tears? And are the tears the result of the voice that sings the words and makes the music, or are they the result of knowledge that something so simple yet so incredibly powerful was created by another mortal? Campbell and Webb surely will live on. Thank you to both.

30 plus years a college English teacher in Japan here ... and I agree with Wilshire and Pak ... your questions and sentiments reflect my own. About the only observation I can add to the discussion is this: It seems to me, that out of the darkest despair and sadness, arises the most noble and beautiful art. To me, that is the crucial difference between mere entertainment / whimsical diversion ... and great art. And though I am more of a jazz fan myself, this combination of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell is about as close to the sublime as I dare approach. Any closer, and I would be forever blinded by the light. Well spoken, David.

David, Thank you for speaking what so many hide in sweet desperation. I call it living on the edge of a tear. That longing that you just know a piece of life is always just in front of you, or a step behind. We often hide that part of us that could set the world free, if shared.

Glen was one of the smoothest voices in music. And one awsome guitar player, and banjo layer and played also the bass. He was an early studio musician and in high demand. He was part of the famous group of session guys known as the Wrecking Crew who you hear on a majority of hit records from the 60's and seventies. He filled in for Brian Wilson as bass player for the Beach Boys during some of their early live tours in the mid sixties. I hate to hear that his Alzheimer's has gotten worse. His wife says he won't be performing any more. He can't even tune a guitar anymore and doesn't remember songs or lyrics much at all. She will give him a tuned guitar sometimes and he'll play a little bit and derives great joy in that. He's in a care facility now and she goes to be with him every day.

This is one of the saddest songs ever...leaving is never easy because even when things don't work out, there are still the memories of the good times.

[@herbert5491]

And I loved that song so much reminding me in a way the girl I had to leave in Seattle. Thank you Glen...that you may keep writing beautiful songs wherever you may be

[@carolparker23]

Here is the young man I met before he left Pasadena, Texas to sign a record label in California. I am grateful that I was briefly able to call him a friend. I've watched his career grow. I pray for him now.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

+Carol Parker So ... by the time he got to Phoenix, you were rising ... . May our spirits all rise, with his, after he really goes.

Very, Very Sorry For your Loss.......Carol !!!! I saw his last concert in Boston several years ago....SO VERY SAD TODAY !! #RIP GLEN CAMPBELL.......

[@annettekoch8435]

What a loss this year. I grew up with his music. Makes me cry knowing he is not around anymore.

My daddy use to play this lovely song playing his guitar to me and my older sister and mother may they all rest in peace Amen ❤❤❤🎤🎼🎤🎼💕💕

[@josephcaldeira2863]

Why don't we just respect the artist and his gift to us.... I agree with Vrinda Kanchan in so much as the venues and resources have certainly have greatly increased. Glen Campbell will always remain in my heart as a great musician and singer... RIP old Glen.. thanks for touching the lives and souls of many people.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I grew up on Glen Campbell music. Thank God.

[@glen7318]

He was a beautiful singer in the 70s when I started to listn to him....

[@TheLifeTerm]

What a tear-jerked! I like to think that he thought it over, when he got to Georgia and decided to go back to her. Call me a 60 yr old, foolish romantic, but ever since I can remember, that's how I thought about it.

THEVIETNAM WAR ATE UP ANY LOVE THEY HAD

[@juanmonge8]

He only made it to Oklahoma.

[@musicman201047]

He didn't go back to her,at the end he sings it as such...he wasn't ready to commit,had to leave her...as he remembers her...where she only walks with him in memory,as he feels the regret on having passed on the one true love in his life.

[@timothyyoungblood3140]

The strings,french horns,flutes,Glens amazing range with his voice,the arrangement,and oh yeah Jimmy Webb wrote it,and Glen's version of Jimmy's song "In Cars"....But hearing Glens voice and the lyrics always make me misty eyed..And a honorable "Beach Boy"..My gratitude and love for writers and performers who made those songs classics..

[@sclark11001]

Glen I enjoyed everything you done. I knows everything you did. I grew up in the generation and an area of this country where you did not let your friends hear you hum a note. But I keep on liking your music. I'm older now, and when I hear a song like this, I stop and take the time to go back in my mind. It's a nice place to visit. I'm going to invite someone to join me, and we will drink elder berry wine, and sing Glenn Campbell's sound. Except for Rhinestone Cowboy. Thanks Glen , I hope you are where you wanted to go.

[@rozbanks1020]

Wow, Glenn Campbell's voice is like pure honey! Very few people can really sing, he definitely can. Beautiful song too

[@johnlowry2308]

Listened to this beautiful song in late 1967 going to Calif from Wisconsin

[@zenaidarivera957]

I haven’t had the heart to hear that song because it reminds me of my dad who died in 68 way to young....

[@markmcintyre1360]

He had such a beautiful voice. A soul that will truly be missed!

[@rvaughan1523]

Johnny Rivers 1st recorded " By The Time" in the Fall of '66, for the album, " Changes". It was produced / arranged & orchestrated by the legendary Marty Paich.----------WolfSky9, 71 y/o

[@tammieclifford7208]

One of my favorite songs that Glen Campbell sang was 'everyday housewife' and 'Wichita Lineman' he had so many great songs, and I remember them from my wonderful childhood growing up around my parents who loved music and played it morning and night in our house. It made everything festive bright cheery and loving, I wish those times were here forever but as we can see times have changed. But we can always remember Glenn, and we have KZbin to watch him on and to listen to his great music. thank you KZbin for being here for us. Rest in peace Glenn see you in the Resurrection. {John5:29; 11:24,25. Acts 24:15.}

[@bigowl9408]

And still we do not hear songs with such feeling as this, produced these days. One of my favourites of Glen Campbell's as it is so close to just how life is.

[@precbsfender]

At sunset pushing my Kenworth east on Highway 10 bound for Phoenix...this song really hits home !

[@patearly9492]

Fantastic song and fantastic person! Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone

[@barrycracknell2944]

Dear Glen, you were my mum's favourite singer. She died in May this year of Alzheimer's related illnesses aged 81. She wasn't ready to go! I played Galveston at her funeral. Just over two months later at the same age, you go the same way - taken by this terrible disease. Rest In Peace now Glen, and thank you.

[@barrycracknell8543]

@Jolly Green Thanks mate, I truly hope so. God Bless.

[@j.r.hadwin5838]

One of the most under rated guitar pickers of all time he's not even in top 100 he played on everything from Beach Boys to Zeppelin

[@rebeccaclemens9015]

What a truly wonderful voice and a great and special man.

[@alanmarsden4422]

J.R. Hadwin GC was a super star before super stars existed. As for not being in the top 100 guitar pickers, well the people who invent these top 100 who ever/what evers know nothing about the subjects they invent! who are these people??

[@kentclark6420]

Should be in top 10.

[@allymayful]

I remember as a kid, in the bush in Australia, that Glenn was acknowledged, as much for his guitar work, as his voice, when he first came on the scene.

[@karnallsop9673]

His voice and all his song's are timeless 🎶 💯👍

[@mjbr1010]

I begged my spouse to help keep our marriage working, nothing, so I left just as I said I would, the hardest choice I ever made, I had a 3 year old Son, that I loved more than life. 24 years later this song still brings tears to my eyes, for I warned and begged her, she wouldn't listen.

[@cherylmorris4277]

Oh that’s sad

[@troylong8363]

[@samburkes7552]

Very sorry for your sincere efforts, altho in vain!! Been there, but not with marriage and children!! Still hard!

[@elmo4672]

Did you take your son with you?

[@martinwhite9691]

I remember listening to this song when I was about eight in 1973. It was my first cassette that came with the player Mum and Dad gave me for Christmas. The time l was thinking of we on an off-road trip to South Australia and I can clearly remember laying in my bunk in the back or our Land Rover with the speaker held close to my ear putting me off to sleep. That song even as a kid made me emotional. It came of a Glen Campbell greatest hits album. When l here that song it still makes me emotional as l think back to that time when my parents were alive, and everything was magical.

[@jonasmarin9717]

Memories are made of these.... Glenn what you might rightly call : A clean cut handsome american boy...! you shall always be gentle on many people's mind....

[@kd5hms63]

Though Glen Campbell has been silenced by disease, his genius and extraordinary talent as a master musician, singer, songwriter, will live on for generations yet to be born. There are musicians...then there is Glen Campbell. God poured out an extra dose of musical prowess on any string instrument known to man....he is in a class all by himself and there is no one to fill his shoes. Thank you Lord for sharing this man and his many gifts that keep on giving!

Well I am sorry to hear that as he was such a good singer. Pity! Regards.

I so appreciate the real-time performance. They have some background track or musicians but he is the real thing.
