Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy (Official Video)

[@ajaxajax4008]

This music brings me memories back in the old days… 😞

[@rickswineberg]

I don't know why this song brings on feelings of melancholy. 😢

[@cosssi]

Maybe because it reminds you of your youth? And this is irretrievably over? At least that's how I feel.🙁

[@IAmJaguarPaw.ThisIsMyForest.]

Because it is about how brutally hard life is in this world, whether you are old enough to remember it on that AM Radio, whether you ever made it big, or not. Because it is everyone's story.

[@grizzle100]

Heard a recent interview with Glen Campbell on the radio. When asked what he liked most about fame he said being able to help his mum and dad get out of the grinding poverty he was brought up in.

[@tyme4mike]

Talk about leaning your head back, closing your eyes, and travelling back to times when everything just seemed to matter more.

[@fishhhhhhhed]

kinda crazy how this guy is probably like 30 rn

[@池田明彦-f7j]

英語のコメントばかりですけど、日本人にも、彼の熱烈なファンが存在します。

[@ironichoneybadger5066]

アメリカ人ですが、多くの日本人がアメリカのカントリーやワイルドウエストの文化を好きなことが本当に素晴らしいと思います。

[@JanetJones3866]

A song that always brings back lovely memories of my dad.....he was and always will be, my Rhinestone Cowboy ..❤

[@714AD]

That was just what the Doctor ordered! That was a beautiful tune penned by the great Jimmy Webb & I still love it!! Glen Campbell was an awesome guitarist and an even better vocalist. Someone should do the country a favor and re-release his music so a new generation can get a dose of something ever so excellent!

[@squidoogeek]

This is one guy who has more talent in his little finger than many modern artists. I love all his songs.

[@chunchun863]

I was 12 when i heard this song and in America for the first time. My family and I were driving along when we came accross a Policeman directing traffic with his gun whilst singing, whilstling and doing tricks. We kids got a huge thrill out of this and just loved it. This evening for some reason the song came to my mind again and it brought the sheer joy of seeing and experiencing America through the eyes and ears of a child on that marvelous day in L.A. right back to me. Thanks.

[@anthonymcaleer2554]

Songs from ones childhood, songs of mum and dad, unbeknown then, some of the best years of your life

[@SCOOTERBOY40029]

The first song i heard when i was a little boy. Classic song, timeless! regards alan

[@chickenwretch]

Glen always had those backup strings that gave so much depth to his music. God bless you and keep you Glen.

[@Contakum]

One of the greatest songs in country music history.

[@L24U84]

don't we miss glen Campbell

[@letsdothis3332]

It's not dead is he

[@kbc163]

​​@@letsdothis3332 Yes, he has passed -- 2017

[@annemargaret78]

This was my choice of music in my teens...I'm 58 now, still love it!

[@plcmt1738]

Hi I lost my da 24yrs ago and I still miss him

[@RubHerSoul1]

Funny how a rocker like me actually loved this song when i was 5 yrs old. Still do actually. If Country music had stayed this good, I might have followed it more. Sadly, 90% of it over the last 25 yrs just plain sux!

[@ThePoetalan]

I'm 63 & still enjoying this kind of music. The 60's & 70's produced some wonderful artists that withstood the test of time.

[@007durban]

yeah you are so right....they dont make em like this anymore....one of my favourites

[@AWeberF222]

He was IT back in the day. Not many could touch him. Wishing him well on his new tour!

[@WizardOnDuty]

I think my parents must have listened to this when I was younger... I saw the title online, and suddenly realized I knew the words and tune to the chorus, and have had it stuck in my head for a while now. 0_o Great song, though!

[@toriElena]

memories. Riding with my mom in her 66 mustang, listening to this song on the 8-Track player.

[@kimporter1744]

Gorgeous voice....perfection when he hits the low notes!...RIP Glen ❤🙏🐴❤🙏

[@kbc163]

I was 5 when this song came out. Even then i knew what a smash hit it was. My mom played it all the time. RIP Mom! ❤️

[@MaximilianClarke]

The good songs have simply moved to where the lazy or stupid cannot find them. Human creativity has not waned; it has flourished and mind meltingly beautiful songs are produced daily

[@cm37177]

The year was 1976. I went to Rose's and purchased my first 45. Oh, a 45...it's a circular disc. 1976😮

[@mtnbob74]

I absolutely loved this song 35 years ago when I was a little kid, and still love it today.

[@rita873able]

Glen Campbell was my first huge CRUSH.Still is,always will be.

[@mrsgstd]

Great memories of the summer of 1975. Between this and "Love Will Keep Us Together" I was pretty sure one of them would be the new national anthem.

[@007durban]

we share the same thoughts....this is what music was all about...meaning...melody...and absolute enjoyment

[@joannemarichalar1952]

Ha! He's in the country in a video singing 'bout walking these dirty streets? He was one of my first "crushes" ❤ I love his music. RIP fellow Zonie!

[@ponyproductionsfilms]

I was a rhinestone cowboy for a 70s dance. They played it for me at the end. Didn’t have such a beautiful horse though. I did have a beautiful dark bay horse back then. (2022). He died in 2023, and around my birthday.

[@zeuschowie7473]

What A great song!! And a great Man

[@LKKruse]

That is true. There is hardly a diversity of different genres of music on the charts today. But then again, most of the music sounds alike, no matter what genre it is.

[@silverexplosion]

I heard this song for the first time in Kindergarden on a 45 record, the teacher played it....I remember it very well....Glen is a true american hero.

[@Contakum]

Glen Campell was so young back then (1975)....but that's the glory of art : it remembers the artist at their very best.

[@narongwr]

I hate people who keep telling bad sides of other people. Good song is good song if you don't like it you don't have to say anything to discredit the singer. Glen is one of my favorite singer and I don't care about his personal life.

[@lararickijack3782]

WUNDERSCHÖNE LIED -LANGE GESUCHT UNND GEFUNDEN --DANKE FÜR LADEN UND GRÜSSEN

[@thegrumpygenxer]

Just saw Glenn in Reno on his farewell tour, he opened with this song. It was great to get to see him with some of his kids playing his classics and some new songs.

[@tonydignam386]

nice one the old stuff stands test of time

[@MrGuitars8]

I remember this one too bad they don't play them on the radio anymore .

[@rbl6761]

Lost my Dad 20yrs ago this year. Good God I miss his jokes.. True what they say about only remembering the best things....x

[@Packman1294]

My Grandparents had this song on 45, I used to play it over and over.

[@nikedadoug]

I have no idea why I started humming this song...but I do know that the humming led me to this video.

[@tammati]

take a look at that sunshine....and ive been singing"i really dont mind the rain " and a smile ....la la la the pain....and just had to look it up. i love you tube its here ah yes meant alot to dads in the 70s and its cool ..... mann........ v cool. go GC. living the dream.

[@matpac252]

No country song in the past 15 years can hold a candle to this classic. This is what music has forgotten recently...the heart.

[@debbiehall3776]

When I was a child, this was my ll brother's favorite song! He sang it often!!

[@schwarzwill1]

One of my favorite songs when i was eight. My best friend Eric and I would crank the volume on our handheld radio when it came on. Good memories.

[@Arnak-the-Dark]

This song even got a translation in Dutch, called "Vreemde Vogels" (Strange Birds; which is actually an expression meaning strangers) by Belgian singer-songwriter Claire.

[@charlesbyrd720]

wow what a voice / and can play a guitar out of this world/amazing talents / thanks glenn for so many beautiful songs/

[@davidhaber5304]

I bought the album she the song came out. I’m 65. Still have it. Every song a hit

[@TonyHickschick]

This was one of my favorite songs when it first came out. I had it recorded on a portable audio cassette player. This was before I used headphones. I would play this tune over and over and my family got so tired of hearing this song that they sent me and my music outside. LOL

[@orpheumshn]

Wow! What a tune and memories of back in the day when I was in the good ol' U.S.Air force.. Glen Campbell will always be my country hero!!

[@vlrschaf]

Music videos in their infancy! This cracks me up, but I love it and love Glen's music, always.

[@Czarinwindspiel]

I Love this Song Greatings from the Netherlands Czarin

[@yosoystusutcliffe]

I cried when he performed it on the grammys 2012 I sang like a slave! WAS AWESOME I'm 16 :D

[@kevins9703]

[@stiggyh]

[@johnnyM809]

This has been my karaoke song for years !

[@Allycat673]

You have just perfectly worded what I have been trying to explain to the younger gen for years now. It wasn't just the songs themselves....it was also the style selection that let everbody discover so many great songs.

[@dragonflyinthesky775]

thank u -a beautiful story..

[@muzikkraz]

Glen is in his prime here, imo, what a great song!

[@Contakum]

I was born in 1970 and I remember my parents playing this song on an eight track (it was released in 1975) in our car....I don't remember the make or model of car... maybe I should call them to find out, I'm not a car person.......I can't really remember the particulars, but I remember this was a great song.

[@gallologic]

One of my first memories is of this song. This really was my first favorite song ever. Still love it.

[@Madelow56]

The ultimate "Sad" song, disguised by an up tempo melody. Glen aces the painful lyrics. Superb!

[@amitbhattacharya542]

Great Song from the seventies.Hats off/ We are still listening in 2012.

[@djmccracekn033193]

[@semi091]

We love YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@knuffy101]

[@Orrscore]

Silverman's version of this at BU Gong Show in '77 was the end. If you were there you never forgot.

[@mistermadsen]

Glen was, and still is one of the most talented artists walking this planet!

[@zippers2]

you've got that right. !!

[@sonnyca]

Heard a line of this song somewhere and had to listen to all of it. Love it!

[@realxpert]

All jokes aside but this was my all time childhood favorite song. Fault me but I was young and living in Jamaica. LOL.

[@PBRfan22]

Glen Campbell one heck of a man

[@petekelly61]

@rosahlyn My dad was a good friend of Glen's and when my dad died in 2001 Glen played Galveston and By the time I get to Phoenix (my dad grew up in Galveston and moved in 1965 when I was 3 to Phoenix where he died). Glen is a class act.

[@oldikins]

One of the best of the best! I love his new song "Ghost on a Canvas".

[@therolexking]

Really? He's playing here in Shreveport soon! Go Glen!

[@Markgr122]

Glenn is and will always be the man.

[@truthseeker7250]

elvis is the man

[@yearling4]

Hah! They had music videos back then?! Oh well, Love GC's music :)

[@treciaperry8067]

My memory was of my mom genie and an older sister who really knew herself but the self I saw her own left me trying myself. We all have so many reasons for our need for approval..in The end we just wanna be loved

[@lawpup1]

[@shirleyjennings5787]

Awesome tune.

[@eastofaustin258]

Great song and memories. Looking at Glen on the horse assures me that he is no cowboy. Note that one hand is almost on the saddlehorn.

[@Bertha-qs9gz]
