Glen Campbell - If You Go Away (Rare clip)

[@kayberry9609]

Who is listening in 2024. What a talent, gone far too soon.

[@ZenG-e1s]

He touches every heartstring

[@3176sue]

He’s still one of my all time favorites 👍🏻🙂

[@Tuxon86]

It’s a good rendition of this great song. But I prefer the Brel version in French and the one by Dusty Springfield in English. This doesn’t mean I don’t recognize the great talent on display here.

[@ZenG-e1s]

@@Tuxon86 Glen’s version is mellow and heartfelt. If you enjoy the dramatic try Eartha Kitt. Hers is WOW!

[@hueyfreeman9297]

Glen Campbell was THE MAN, now I realize why my mom loved him so much!

[@Squee_Dow]

There's a place deep inside my heart/my soul/my inner being that only Glen Campbell can touch. I never knew it before he passed because I didn't pay that close attention to him or his music. It's not that didn't like him. I could sing along with all his hits, but I, a collector of vinyl, never bought one. After his passing, I came here to KZbin to pay my respects and found a treasure trove of Glen Campbell performances. Within a couple of days, I was changed. No one moves me like he does, whether it's a ballad that breaks your heart or a guitar solo that thrills every nerve ending in your body, whether it's fast or slow, serious or funny, his own hit or a cover -- Glen's my all-time favorite performer, and I didn't know it until August of 2017.

[@111Jimmymac]

You expressed my feelings..exactly. Thank you.

[@sarahwarren6286]

same thing happened to me and its August 2021

[@พรวิภาอังคพณิชกิจ]

Same as me. I've recently known this brilliant artist one month ago. His musics hook me. I watch him every nights

[@leahflower9924]

that voice and those looks wow he was smooth!

[@robertwise5432]

I agree , Glen was astounding !

[@dorothystearns8561]

I heard this song for the first time the day I went to my mom's funeral. She loved Glen Campbell. The song randomly appeared on my radio as I was on my way to the cemetery. I still believe my mother sent this to me

[@nancykoger2725]

It was not random dear one. It was your Mom ❤

[@carolM9]

I feel just like the following comments of 360 my experience of getting to know Glen was almost identical. I can’t believe it it took me so long!

[@tdtada5328]

No one sing this song better than Glen Campbell he is the best .

[@mattstephenson8450]

He does a great job but I have say Terry Jacks version is pretty awesome ❤

[@RF-bc4ij]

'missing Glen in 2021!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

And now in 2024.

[@martinmackin6203]

Glen Campbell was Magic

[@gaynorkane1149]

Glen Campbell was the ultimate Ballard singer . I discovered how much I loved his music in the eighties . And his last album was awesome .

[@PeterOHalloran-hf2ho]

Really one of the all time great s

[@charlesphoenix7075]

Just listened to all the performances of this song here on KZbin … and we might as well just say it … NOBODY does it better than Glen! … He's SO underrated as a singer.

[@malcolmbryant]

How could anyone describe such a world-class and world-famous singer as "under-rated"? It must be the most over-used word on KZbin.

[@martingordon8750]

My gosh ,,I agree ,but what a wonderful song. An honour for any one to work on this song by Brel

[@thomastimlin1724]

He was so much more than what people often categorize him as...a country singer, Bullshit. this man was an artist of the highest degree in all kinds of popular music. Jimmy Web was the other half of the genius in writing this and mnay other high class songs.

[@4947rach]

I'm crying. I miss him. this song means so much to most of us.

[@chelebelle2223]

@Rachel Krieger_Yes, yes, yes....The one and only Glen Campbell. 😊

[@markstyles5103]

To me this is the best vocal delivery. Other artists contort their voices to put a fake emotion in it. Glen's voice comes thru like all his songs really, very sincerely. Mr. Cambell was a very talented man.

[@69VAJRA]

Matt Monro is the one who convey emotion in this song then i ever heard.

[@elisabethvalade9866]

That he was!!!

[@reneefineberg8670]

Thank goodness he left a great legacy of music. You cannot be forgotten, Glen Campbell....!

[@charliekucharski2079]

I think that Glen was maybe the best interpreter of songs that America ever had. Unbelievable singer and accomplished guitarist. Arrangements by producer Al DeLory were also outstanding.

[@elizabeth.ohmer.pellegrin]

@charliekucharski20, you absolutely nailed it all the way around! Interpreter‼️Thank you for all your heartfelt performances, Glen.

[@joshie1956]

Awww Glen I wish you had not gone away. RIP 🕊🕊🕊💔💔😪

[@sstive1]

Absolute Ledgend! Befor anyone there was Glen Campbell. R.I.P to a big part of my childhood.

[@finnhere2]

This is not an easy song to cover... and here's this guy who just takes the song and makes it his. Gosh. The more I hear Glen, the more I want to hear him.

[@scottjamesgardiner2292]

As a 15 year old boy I heard this song. Lay on my bed thinking of the girl that didn't want me anymore. but now at 43 the song the voice. Of the legendary Mr campbell and how the passion. Rings in my ears.

[@rusty7720]

Similar story for me as well,"Take my hand for a While" would repeat it self over and over in my head .After hearing that song by Glen ,I bouhgt every album I could find of his.

[@jannakhryztymercado2502]

Love to listen this song if you go away

[@wallacegeller2111]

Fantastic, just fantastic. It's a very sad song and i have been there a time or two in my 75 years. I found my love and we have been married 40 years.

[@dannilaser16]

A VERY DIFFICULT SONG TO SING. ONLY A GENIUS LIKE GLEN COULD MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY. SUCH AMAZING TALENT.

[@pensans1]

Dusty Springfield?

[@stephengeasley8445]

One of the best singers ever voice of a angel steve

[@krpull56]

Agree. Only Glen.....

[@timothyshrout2076]

This and Jack Jones' version- stunning!

[@dinadayon2838]

Best version.. I miss you my Rhinestone cowboy!

[@dennisoconnor2992]

There'll never be another Glen Campbell. R.I.P. Glen.

[@kimberlyfifer2441]

My father sang this song,sounded like glen.brought tears to my eyes.

[@marymaceachran2586]

I think people recognized Glen Campbell’s versatility and skill with his guitar. What I think deserves as much credit is the richness and clear tones of his vocals, majestically showcased in this song.

[@lindahh798]

Glen Campbell was so talented. His guitar playing was extraordinary!!! You add his wonderful voice to it all and you have quite a delivery. Yes, I was kissed afew times by Glen because I was in the 1st row at a county fair & kept running back & forth to Glen for harmless kisses, but he was such a good sport. ❤️I would do it again, but walk a bit slower now! RIP to Glen Campbell, who brought some of the best written (Jimmy Webb) music, but sang by a man who played his heart out for his fans. Gone way too soon.

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I believe you are the first viewer in the comment section that has been that physically close to Glen, & to be kissed by him; what a nice memory for you to cherish!! He is sorely missed. Thanks so much for watching!

[@bilingualservicesllcnelson2759]

I lived near him in phoenix, church in PV az, Alice Cooper too.they golfed together

[@liscalmel]

It feels so personal and heartfelt when he sings-as if he speaks from his heart. A true soulful artist.

[@heleneandersson6513]

Mycket tårar ,,,, ,,,jag lyssnade denna sång på sjuttio/,åttiotalet och då var man alltid förälskad,,,i någon som ej visste om att han var föremålet för de heta känslorna ,,,,,så djupt tragiskt,,Det var det tuffa raggarlivet,,,, 😄😞☺

[@oohyllab]

Incredibly sung by him! Had no idea this man was as talented as he was!!

[@jpathak6227]

Donna Schnaath .....where have you been? He was among the best. I enjoyed his show with my family when the networks aired wonderful family shows. Not today’s crap we see on T.V.

[@maryobrien532]

J Pathak I never missed a one! He was so incredibly talented. These songs make me cry. So many memories of watching with my mom and sister.

[@lisaselby2354]

Oh yes Donna, He was talented when he was 5 years old I believe learning to play the guitar. He is the best singer, best guitarist and has a great range in his vocals. He also sings them with such feeling it touched my soul and still does.

[@heleneandersson6513]

Jag Älskar denhär sången,,, fast det gör ont i hjärtat,,,rädslan att mista den man älskar finns ju alltid där,,, Jag vågar nog aldrig bli kär igen,,,

[@abqphil5444]

It's hard to believe that nearly four years have elapsed since Glen passed away. The man could sing the New York City phone book and evoke a response from his listener.

[@colettesimone2933]

I can listen to this song singing by him a thousand times

[@fhaneke]

This is by FAR the best rendition of this song! This man made some BEAUTIFUL music;

[@LarryDickman1]

This video encouraged me to buy this song on Amazon. And I only bought one other song before. Jerry reed's rendition of Early Morning Rain. He sang it the best. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYO4Z2iDlM1gm6s

[@anelladambrosio2513]

Che bella questa canzone!la voce di Glen e meravigliosa...😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💋💯🌅

[@tom5216]

Glen can sing anything. A great musician.

[@stardazzling4340]

thansks Glen Campbell is unparalleled in the performance of this song

[@yangadrian1]

If you go away on this summer day then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in the summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was young and the nights were long And the moon stood still for the night bird's song If you go away if you go away if you go away But if you stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again We'll sail the sun we'll glide on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then if you go I'll understand leave me just enough love to fill my hand If you go away if you go away if you go away If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning Till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly till the next hello If you go away if you go away if you go away If you go away as I know you must there'll be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been the shadow of your shadow If I thought it might have kept me by your side If you go away if you go away if you go away But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much But if you go I know I will cry and all the good is gone from the word goodbye If you go away if you go away if you go away please don't go away

[@lizklosowski6487]

Glen Campbell was my very first musical crush when I was 13. I learned this song on the piano and sang it at my middle school talent night.

[@lisaselby2354]

Who doesn't love this song? It is so full of feeling and emotion.

[@martynblair7093]

Just when you think Glen Campbell couldn't be more perfect...you here this interpretation of Brel's classic

[@Astimoff]

This version sounds much better than the original recorded version...He sounds so much more clear, powerful, and connects to the song.

[@celerinadoroteo9194]

Very touching emotionaly unforgetable glen

[@edithann1284]

This beautiful song was originally written in French, and the translation has a different meaning. I absolutely love glen Campbell! He was a studio artist, playing guitar for a lot of the famous 60's bands before they let him sing and play for us. He earned every bit of his fame by hard work and pure talent. His expertise with a guitar is phenomenal, even now. LOVE*******

[@veramihaljkovic7673]

yes,the song is from sixties, by allain barriere, dont go away - ne me quite pas.. thank you edith

[@kevinhancey1695]

He is an amazing talent ... how I'm going to miss that ...

[@kwzahav]

Sorry it is Jacques Brel who wrote and performed it first. The French version is actually quite close to the English in tone, but more morose, more supplicant and painful.

[@DebbiLoi]

Edith Ann Agreed

[@maystatham7389]

[@oneijoe3363]

Damned if I didn't forget how REALLY good this song is and how well Glen sang it. Made my eyes tear up.

[@petterrabbitt9675]

Shame on those who did not appreciate his music.

[@catherinerosner970]

My mother and I would watch his tv show back in the day. We thought he was so handsome and of course that voice....miss him.

[@thebeatlesfreakful]

I remember hearing this song first when I was 5 in our old Honda van, and my dad had a large collection of cassette tapes because the car had a cassette player. One was a Glen Campbell tape. This song started playing and it suddenly woke me from a nap I was having in the car. I loved it so much. I never thought that 15 years later, I’d find the song again. It helped me get through a dark place that I was in a few years ago. I owe my thanks to Glen.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

He went away and now he's walking the halls of Heaven with so many other greats 😇❤️‼️

[@HighPlainsDrifter53]

RIP Glen Campbell. Never got to appreciate any of your music until the last couple years. It is a treasure.

[@mooravity8140]

Glen sang emotions like no other. He is truly feeling through his voice. No other artist can come close to this. I didn’t know about him until after he passed. But a few years ago I fell in love with him and his music, and wish every day he was still here with us. Someday in heaven I’ll meet him and I can’t wait for that day. No other artist speaks to my soul like he does. His music is my kindred spirit.❤️

[@heleneandersson6513]

The lyrics in this song are still today TOTALLY AMAZING ❤❤❤

[@janetlesleybullough9191]

Reminds me of my childhood my dad loved him xxxxxxxxx

[@busybee4436]

My gosh but he was beautiful............. RIP dear Glen. Thank you, sir, for the incredible gift of your music.

[@bilingualservicesllcnelson2759]

Bj Thomas and glen both sang together, r.I.p. to both really great national treasures, thanks for easing our troubles guys :)

[@drewcanton235]

I've never heard it from Glen Campbell before. He always does excellent renditions... I remember this song from Terry Jacks (original?)...

[@cathyknight3688]

A Iconic & extraordinary Beautiful Voice ..Such as we will not know again....R.I.P ....

[@rkradio4921]

I love the way Glen sings this song so beautiful and so much feeling, God bless you Glen.

[@lisaselby2354]

He always sang with feeling. That is what drew me to him and his beautiful voice as well. I always felt the songs deep in my soul.

[@toothpick4649]

I am sure there people out there who troll beautiful music video's , just to vote them down, they must live in a dark depressing world....

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

As famous as he was, he still was very underrated. He was self effacing & professionally humble. Many people have no idea how talented and amazing Glen Campbell was. He simply pursued his craft and love of music? This is my very favorite version from all the superlative versions of this song! The greatest song of melancholy longing and devoted love. Thank you Jacques Brell & Rod McKuen.

[@MyAnneo]

Love this song . I could look at his face forever and never go away...

[@SJHUE]

Simply stunning. Feels more and more like a/the golden age of music passed when Glen left this earth. Looking around me now doesn`t look like it`s ever coming back...

[@lisaselby2354]

Glen could sing everything excellently with heart and soul which is what made him special. You felt what he was singing.

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I originally found this video on KZbin posted by another user. I have searched for that user again, but they no longer have a channel here that I can find. So, I cannot take credit for originally posting this, though I am very glad I re-posted it (especially in light of Glen’s passing). Based on many of your comments, it seems that those who haven’t listened to Glen's voice in awhile, or those who have never heard him sing before, are coming to understand that he was very much underrated as a singer. He should be remembered as more than just a guitar virtuoso, because he was a man of many talents. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and I am so sad at his passing. I sincerely hope some day in the near future we can find a cure for this disease.

[@HellavaLot]

This is a song written when music was musical. Thank you for uploading it.

[@mlbuffaloe]

God bless him and his family. My heart breaks knowing how much joy he has brought to millions of people around the world, then knowing that he soon will no longer be with us in this life. A talent such as his is rare and that a choice few have known. I grew up listening to his music, watching the tv shows, movies...at a time when music was such an importance in my life. His music, still today triggers memories from long ago, and brings out feelings from deep inside, from a place that makes me shake my head in wonder at it's ability to rattle my soul. His music will always remain with me, and i know his passing will bring tears, but Glen Campbell will always be "Gentle on my mind."

[@M49-x9k]

That was so beautifully said thank you💕

Superb! I first heard this song from Glen, from his album Wichita Lineman.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Glen was so much more than the label given him "Country singer/guitarist." He was the consummate musician and singer. The definition of all styles, superior singer and musicianship. He often said in interviews he never thought of himself strictly as a one genre musician. he did everything, even the Beach Boys.

[@rosalindbrown999]

Beautiful song - and so handsome Glen Campbell!! He was so talented.

[@kristimorehouse9627]

[@Pfrazier43]

The loss of this great voice and a man that could sing in a style that was only his. Whether a love song or singing about a city like "Huston " he was in command of his audience. He will be sorely missed.
