Waylon Pays Tribute to Glen Campbell

Waylon, late in life on the Opry Homecoming videos, gives a nod to Glen Campbell for his help early in his Nashville career.

[@jimsouthern1398]

In my radio DJ days back in 1968,I was backstage hanging around when Waylon walked up to me and asked if there was a coffee shop nearby. I replied there was and he said "Well, let's go get a cup". As we started out the door, a very distinctive voice rang out "Where'r you fellows going?" We told him and he said "Wait for me". So there I was in the coffee shop with Waylon and Tex Ritter, Waylon complaining that Chet Atkins wouldn't let him do what he wanted and Tex telling him to relax, he had records on the charts and getting the good tours and should enjoy it. It is one of my favorite memories!

Waylon , The King of Country Music ❤

[@jimmydutwo]

This is one example of what a wonderful library of quality music is created by Utube, with the songs of the life of Glen Campbell as a stellar example. Now anyone that can sing and play, keep singing these contemporary classics for yourself and others live, and let the chill go down your spine! Don't just listen, if you can, sing and play with others more!

[@DrBill-zv5dx]

Once the last of these great journeymen musicians die off, they’ll never be replaced again and sadly missed. They all were perfectionist and very much dedicated to to writing and singing the greatest songs ever recorded. Thank you very much and God speed to you all. . . 🙏🏻😊❤️

iIt really surprises me how fantastic a guitar player Mr. Campbell is. I only knew of his songs and voice, but he must be rated as one of the finest guitarist ever.

Scott Gilbraith I heard, on a documentary, that he couldn’t read music.

[@vanessamccleskeyroden4349]

Yes Glen Campbell was never given the recognition he deserved! He was an awesome musician, could play damn near any instrument there was....even the bagpipes!!!! Lol Guitar, mandolin, fiddle, harmonica.....I could go on & on!!! Plus he had an awesome voice to boot! I guess he kinda' had that little boy look in early times....until he got with Tanya! ROFL!!! BUT the man was amazing, and he should be given credit where credit is due!!!! Love you Glen Campbell you'll always be remembered for the great musician & singer you were in my heart, and never forgotten! RIP Glen Campbell you were the best!!!!❤💞❤❤❤❤❤🎼🎵🎶🎵🎸🎻🎻🎸🎼🎶🎵❤❤💘❤❤

Thank you. Sidelight--I was the Country Music Queen of the Days of ’47 Rodeo in 1972 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Third largest parade in USA after Macy’s and Rose. I LOVED that Appaloosa--but that was a long ride waving at every cowboy on the route in the hot Utah sun! The country station was owned by Buck Owens. I used to have a watch-given to me by Buck-that showed Buck; his guitar handle was the hour hand, and arm was minute hand. Hell of a businessman--pretty nice guy!

Was his last show. Who know it was his last show. , , And he played all kind of stuff. And great as sick as he was. , it was sad when i found out he passed away. ,

[@tmg6558]

To open his Show at the HBO sponseted cable convention party in Dallas in '81, Glenn's full orcherta starting playining on a dark stage "Rinestone Cowboy' and when they built to the first crsendo, Glenn jumped thru a 10' x 10'' white screen at the front of the stage with his live guiter screaming "Like A Rinestone Cowboy"! The polite, assembled (400) of Cable TV Exes jumped from their seats and acted liked teen kids at a first USA Beatles concert,... the crowd went wild. Glenn was great and introed his new friend, Tanys Tucker (a real beaut then) and closed with a standing crowd.. One of the best live preformances I have ever seen, And as a music biz man, I hsve seen the best and thoudands of tines. This was Glenn at his top, like Elvis, IMHO.

"Bye-bye, Miss American Pie..." they day the music died. Valens, Buddy Holly and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and pilot Roger Peterson, died on Feb. 3, 1959, when the plane crashed just north of Clear Lake. The late Waylon Jennings said he lost a coin toss to Richardson for a seat on the plane. God Speed Buddy, Richie, Bopper. Later Waylon and now Glen. ❤ ♫

[@frankhebner5393]

Sorry Barry but I have to be nit-picky. Waylon volunteered his seat to the Bopper. It was Allsup who flipped the coin with Valens. Thanks for the comment and I hope you enjoyed the video.

Wish that John Hartford had been there. John wrote "Gentle On My Mind" and Glen turned it into an incredible crossover hit. Made a millionaire out of John Hartford. As the most covered C&W song ever written, John Hartford made ( Now his estate makes ) over $50,000.00 every year and sometimes much more. ) John Hartford, who had been battling Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma since the mid '80's, passed away on June 4, 2001, less than 2 years after this recording. RIP John!
