Glen Campbell - Southern Nights (Acoustic)

Kim Campbell shares rare footage of Glen Campbell performing “Southern Nights” at a church service in 1989. For all of the southerners dealing with the destruction from the tornadoes that ripped through the South on April 12-13th, 2020, destroying homes, knocking out power for thousands, and causing at least 29 deaths.

Alzheimer's may have ended Mr. Campbell's life, however it will never silence the command of his voice. This recording is proof of that. Rest in Peace, Mr. Campbell.

[@lindanazzareno1496]

I met him in person...A gentle kind man and so handsome

[@googleusergp]

@@lindanazzareno1496 He was a talented man, that's for sure.

[@averagejoe363]

The ascending bass line with the descending treble is absolute finger twisting Chet Atkins madness lol😂 I always forget he was a session guy long before he started his own career! Rest In Peace Glenn Campbell

[@darrynhall5953]

It’s amazing.

[@charlessmith2035]

No kidding

[@HI-RISER]

There's nothing better than a classic country music station playing in the back ground on a sunny Sunday morning around the breakfast table. Made a 100 times better when I'm surprised with some Glen Campbell. Miss Glen, thanks for sharing, Kim. Greg

Supreme musician and singer

[@TheShubbah]

man Glen knew he was the Business! and he loved showing everyone he knew it! R.I.P Glen, you are truly missed!

[@SuperchiefApache]

Freaking phenomenal guitar player….just unreal! My old Boss use to play gold with him in Arizona. Rest in peace Gene Pridemore, and Mr. Campbell

[@kevinbraden798]

Thank You...I'm an old man and I'v been listening to your husband since I was a little boy.

[@glasair]

Just standing and doing it all by himself on an acoustic and nothing sounds missing.

[@charliemartin9469]

It certainly isn't missing my tears. This is 1 of those lump-in-your-throat things that are so impossibly gorgeous that it's hard to process all at once. If anything can make sense, even for 3 minutes and some seconds, it's this.

[@thefirerpg]

not to me, glen and his guitar is what the stage is meant for and his voice fills up any void, especially if you were there to experience his genius in person

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Thank you Campbell Family. This was my favorite song that Glen sang. I was stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina when this was hit, it was played all the time. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

[@fredfrenchy]

Im English, and many British people said why do you like country music so much, Country is about life, like Shakespeare.....Glen My All time Hereo, I wanted to be a singer from 12 years old when I heard Glen and country, although Glen never classified himself as country, I learned guitar, I went to Nashville at 28 to follow a dream, stayed for 5 years and left because of personal family issues. I sang, Wrote songs with many successful artists, and have always loved Glen as a master entertainer, musician,singer, I sing many of his songs today. RIP, my hero. you live on.... you are a Highwayman! Listen to his verson of The last time I saw her face, Pave your way into tomorrow, Late Night Confessions, Bloodline....and more lesser known songs he sang so beautifully.....His Capital years were wonderful.

[@Juliaflo]

It is Mr. Shakespeare who said "if music be the food of love, play on".

[@tinasommerville4549]

Glen's music brings me so much joy... RIP

[@AffordableEscapesShreveport]

Kim You were so incredibly blessed to have Glen. And you brought him out of alot. You & I are about the same age- and he was this Luziana's girls First Drop To My Knees Crush that i never got over. In fact the day he passed i was awoken at around 10amCST with the need to play his music over & over. Then i found out that night that he did pass on. I know you Miss him terribly & I've prayed for ur family. Here on Earth- There will NEVER EVER Be Another Glen Travis Campbell. But We have the HOPE of seeing Jesus & Glen someday as you know!

[@lindahh798]

Kim is an angel!!

[@robfrombohemiahinkson7300]

I've been listening to Glen Campbells greatest hits everyday as I drive to work. I work in a Health Care Facility. I'm scared to death that I'll contact Coronavirus and bring it home to my family.I listen to the song ,True Grit over and over as i drive to work. The songs gives me strength and hope. Even though Glen has passed on, he's helping me cope more than you'll ever know. I even watch all his videos when I come home. That's how I stumbled onto this video.I hope Glens family is doing well and knows that his fans still love him more than ever before.

[@NorwoodGlen]

Stay safe and thank you for what you are doing every day to care for patients!

[@deschutesmaple4520]

Not only a guitar genius, but also a brilliant singer and song writer! Glenn is missed!

Someone in these comments used the word Phenomenal when talking of Glen Campbell, and I couldn't agree more!!! Guitarist/ Singer of the highest order!! This is a great tune, but I guess my fav. will always be " Witchita Lineman"!!! RIP Glen Campbell. The music will live on forever!!

[@four4four636]

[@SLAmey-mu9hd]

This dude was the best in the business.... I don't think there'll be anyone else to grace this earth who will surpass Glens abilities.

Doesn’t get much better than this. So much talent and completely effortless. The audience wouldn’t even have realised what they were witnessing..

[@thursoberwick1948]

Wish they'd show the guitar more so that you can see how he does this.

[@shimi_raikkonen]

From the original down to all the covers of this song, this acoustic one man and his guitar version is my favorite.

[@maggykuhn3387]

Hi mrs. Campbell my name is Richard Kuhn my beautiful wife Peggy and my son Brandon. Was invited by your family to come in from a cold night here in Colorado. On his last tour. I do believe it was 2007. My mind's getting rusty to. But I wrote a letter to him that night and the door Usher. Said he would give it to someone. It must have been one of your family members or maybe you. But it was red and you give us balcony seats. One of the greatest nights I've ever had. I still remember that night like it was yesterday. So God bless you and your family. Stay well. And know that in my heart I am thankful for those balcony seats. I've been wanting to say that for a long time. Because he read my letter on one of his shows when I was a younger man.

[@chrismurray2978]

It's like the best cooking-an element of love added makes the difference.I always feel that Glen had a dedication to his art which is felt by the listener as respectfullness( if there is such a word) Respect for the listener,Always a consideration of musical aesthetics, and a realisation that if you sing and play in a forest and no one hears, the sound doesn't exist!To me this is because the ear of the observer is needed to complete the cycle.Many accomplished musicians try and hang a sound sculpture in the air and let people make of it what they will, but it seems Glen always played TO people , not AT them. I know only Glen the musician, I don't pretend to know the person, but I feel the intensity of the emotion and soul invested in his beautiful music.

[@user-iv1in2bd2w]

Truly Amazing.

[@JasonsBasementBand]

[@GordonCaledonia]

Glen might be the ONLY guitar legend who had a GREAT voice. I love Neil Young, but Glen had a voice like that blue-eyed boy from Ho-boke! You know the one! The Head Master! The Chairman! The King! The Kid! God bless the Earth and all the hearts that beat in it!

[@summerbreezeau]

This is another case of some humans are simply at a different level, and then they work and practice, and we mere ordinary humans get to see and enjoy something we can not even imagine creating.

May God bless his soul rest in peace 🙏 my friend
