Glen Campbell & John Denver - DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME

A great duet of Don't It Make You Want To Go Home (Joe South) on John Denver Thank God I'm A Country Boy variety special, 1977.

[@Maisie1969]

I sure do want to go back home. I wanted to go back the day I arrived in the new state. I've been gone since 1984. My heart still aches today. I want to go home to my home state.

[@sartainja]

Nothing more American than Glen Campbell playing an Ovation guitar singing a duet with John Denver of a Joe South song. Do miss the 1970’s.

[@shirleyrook7111]

American or not being British i love these two

[@roberthansill1876]

In one of the units I was stationed with in Vietnam (69-70,) a 1st Lieutenant and I used to sing this song together on occasion to be reminded of how much we were looking forward to the day when we would be with our families, especially for me to be able to see my precious wife (married 6 months before deploying). In December, we will celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary.

[@donaldcook3112]

[@patrickryan1515]

I sincerely hope John, Glen and Joe have all finally gone to their perfect homes.

[@Maisie1969]

They're probably still singing. Those concerts must be the best. So many of our great singers have passed on and play their music in heaven.

[@teresasugden466]

These 2 together ❤️ wow ...they are both just pure goodness ❤ I miss them. never knew they sang together.

[@walterfisher5749]

How many people have a song covered by John Denver and Glenn Campbell? Not many. Joe South does. Respect.

[@lisadc4681]

These two powerhouses singing this Joe South classic might be one of the greatest duets ever! So sad what has happened to music in the 21st century!😭

[@sartainja]

Music is so far up the creek now that it could not buy a bus ticket back to normal. Just like our society.

[@nelgstuart3442]

Dang! You know you're good when Glen Campbell lets you sing the lead!! These 2 Vocal titans were second to none! My Gawd! We had some talent back in my time folks. This song written by another great, Joe South. John Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed. He had 33 Albums and singles that were certified Gold and Platinum in the U.S by the RIAA, with estimated sales of more than 33 million units. Glen Campbell was one of the best- solo male artists in U.S. chart history. He released more than 70 Albums , selling over 50 million records with more than 80 songs charting. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame.

[@fpoasec]

"These 2 Vocal titans" YES, you nailed it.

[@cmhanson]

@nelgstuart3442 Miss these 2 so much. No one will ever replace or duplicate what they had. Their TV shows were the best on TV.

[@chadkincham]

This song, and Memories by Elvis, makes me so lonesome for past friends and family, and places that live in my heart - people I would dearly like to see one more time, and hug them, and tell them I love them.

I wish these two had released this song without the funky 70s background music. Then it would be timeless .......🎶

Trivia: Joe went "Down to the Greyhound station"; not the railroad station.

[@MacPro8CoreMan]

John Denver. One of the best voices ever.

[@goosewhisperer6275]

MacPro8CoreMan Yes, and a polite down-to-Earth guy, too. By (lucky) chance, I encountered him before one of his concerts, in 1981. He was very sweet, friendly and funny, just like he was on TV. I miss him so much, even though I can still listen to his music and watch videos of some of his performances.

The great thing about these old KZbin clips is that it shows the kind of entertainment and incredible talent that could be enjoyed routinely on simple network television all those years ago.

So sad, how they both died.

[@Stepniki]

John Denver's death was tragic, but he was doing what he loved to do when he died.. It was so tragic to lose him at a young age. At least he died quickly without suffering, I imagine. I was referring to.the curse of Alzheimer's when I said it was sad how they both died. Glen ,though he lived a long life, suffered a long decline that was horrible for his family, and I'm sure scary for him.

[@sandradee7682]
