When I was 8 years old, my father a very frugal man, purchased a record player...I was pretty shocked. My father was not very educated and worked minimum wage making pallets at a local lumber yard. He also purchased a few records, the first one he put on, and the first record I ever heard was Glenn Campbell's Greatest Hits (I think was the title). I had never been interested in Country Music, but Glenn's music was different, it was like nothing I had ever heard before. At 13 I picked up a guitar and learned to play Glenn Campbell songs for my Dad...he enjoyed it so much. Today, when I hear a Glenn Campbell song, it brings back those great memories. No matter what anyone says, I believe Glenn Campbell was the first serious country/pop cross-over star.. paving the way for others to follow. There would be no Garth Brooks, without Glenn Campbell. There is a video here on KZread of Glenn showing his guitar skills, look for it.. it is just amazing.

I am 63 and I was a rock and roller in my youth, as a listener. I never thought much of Glenn Campbell. Then, I went to his last tour with his kids. An even addled by disease he could still play the guitar. I searched for more songs from Glenn and boy was I wrong about Glenn Campbell. He is LEGEND. Besides all the other session work he did, which is enough for the hall of fame, his solos on Gentle on my Mind brought tears to my eyes. God bless Glenn and may he rest in peace.

Very true. When I inherited my late sister's record collection a Crystal's album had Glen as a credit. Never knew he did so much session work until years later as when I got those records there was no internet. He is one of my all time favorites, be it a singer, or guitarist, and to not read music, he was brilliant

I watched his TV show in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. Nothing like it on TV today.

To me, the Jim Webb songs Glen recorded - "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Where's the Playground, Susie?", "Galveston", just to name a few are really masterpieces. I will miss you, Glen. God, bless!

My parents took me to a sold out Glen Campbell concert at the Oakland Coliseum for my 22nd birthday. What an exciting night enjoying one of the greatest entertainers ever. Every time he would start singing a new song the crowd would erupt in applause; it sounded like thunder. What an epic show he put on.

Sadly missed by millions, R.I.P. Glen.

My father used to sing Glen Campbell when I was little, and today I still LOVE Glen Campbell.

Glen Campbell is one of th best guitar players from the 1960's and 1970's. Not many people know of his studio work, playing guitar Rock and Roll bands as well as his writing songs and his velvet vocals. He was a true artist of his time!!!!

RIP Glen! A gentleman of common decency and real talent!

He was my favorite for the same amount of time.

Glen's cousin, Joe Erwin, went to my church in Long Beach, CA and would tell stories about singing with Glen and the extended family on Sundays, in Delight, Arkansas. Joe himself had the most incredible voice you never heard. If he wanted to he could’ve been a professional singer. The extent of his “career“ was entering many singing competitions, at bars and clubs, winning every time. He had the deepest, richest, warmest voice I’ve ever heard. RIP Joe.

This is one of several times watching Glen's life play out. He was an amazing soul that always loved the Lord, but sometimes we all slip and it's the times when we're at our worse.. are shown mercy. His music and his performances were energetic and his goal when performing were with his fans in mind. RIP Glen!! You'll always be in my heart. ❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏

Great biography. Glen Campbell was one of the best guitarists ever. I made a Glen Campbell playlist on Spotify the day he died. My always & forever favorite song is “Wichita Lineman”. Genius.

One of the most talented and versatile players ever, people don't realize. Talented songwriter as well.

I remember his tv show was on at 6am every week day. I got up every morning to watch him. That's how talented he was singing & playing guitar! One of a kind, all around entertainer, a true gift!

Galveston is amazing & the fact that Jimmy Webb wrote it is wonderful!!

I always had a soft spot in my heart for Glen. I remember hearing his songs blaring on the radio as I was growing up in the 1960's. In 1980 I saw him in Las Vegas. Tanya Tucker sat directly in the booth in front of me in the Frontier Hotel showroom. It was a real treat and a memorable experience.

I love so many of Glen's songs. Wichita Lineman, Galveston but the one that made me fall in love with his voice when I was about seven years old was "Honey come Back" he sang it like he meant every word. Just beautiful.

When you hear a natural musician like Glenn it’s amazing. They can play anything. Immediately. You can tell the difference. Some musicians have to practice an practice to get it. People like Glen do it in one or two takes. That’s the way of a studio player. Wrecking Crew!

He went through a "Kenny Stabler" phase... right? Man, I miss the 70's .. Born in 1963, Glen Campbell was my firs memory of music... I use to sit in front of my parents big o'l console stereo system with vacuum tubes i could see glowing through the cabinetry... It was bigger than a sofa bed (and just as heavy) I'd sit Indian style, playing a ping-pong paddle, then badminton racquet then a tennis racquet ... Finally, when I was 13 I got a Yamaha acoustic guitar for Christmas.... Been playing professionally for 35 years now... ALWAYS play at least one Glen Campbell song ... He was my hero (and my dad) ... Now I dedicate "Gentle On MY Mind" to my dad who went on to be with our Lord in 2014 after a life of victory. Last year I started recording a tribute memorial record to Glen... I live in Saint Augustine, Florida, so I'm giving a bit of Spaniard's flare with a dash of Latin Percussion... Thank you Glen Campbell for ALL the many years of great music and great performance, and thank you for you bold witness and testimony of our King and precious Lord and savior Jesus Christ! ~Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: Make a loud noise and rejoice and sing praise.~

I love that Kenny Rogers had an interview for this. Glen had the respect of everyone, and it was well deserved. Carol Kaye from the Wrecking Crew also. Jimmy Webb is a genius when it comes to writing hit songs. Wichita Lineman will forever be my favorite song.

Gentle on my mind. RIP Glen . I heard you 40 years ago in England and you gave my countless happiness with your songs.

I took guitar lessons when I was a kid. I’m not very musical but loved guitar and had a songbook of Glen Campbell. Loved his songs!

I Love Glen...Love every thing Glen ever sang, or played... his unbelievable talent. I believe, he was the Best guitarist, and, Those gorgeous looks. To me, the true Christianity was always there deeply buried inside him from being raised that way, just celebrity lifestyles, money, alcohol, drugs, fame being on the road all the time...got in the way. He got back on top as nd is singing in heaven now. So Loved and Missed. Play his music all the time. Thank you for this.

My Dad Ronnie McKinney met Glen when he was 15 or 16. My dad needed a guitar player for a gig in Kemah, Texas . My dad went to pick him up never having met him and told him during the car ride to the gig to try to keep up. If you get lost in a song just stop playing and come in when you can. When they got on stage Glen plugged in his guitar and started warming up playing more than they were going to play all night! My dad knew he had found his guitar player! Glen said himself on the Chris Issack Hour Interview that it was the first time he got paid for playing. My dad, Ronnie McKinney and Glen lived together for several years while playing around the Houston area. They remained life long friends until Glens passing. My Dad passed in Dec. 2016. I know they are picking with uncle Boo in Heaven!

He plays solos perfectly and effortlessly on acoustic guitar which is way harder than an electric. He makes it look super easy but it's actually super hard even for the best of guitarists.

You couldn't help but love Glen vocals and guitar playing :)

Glen was playing at a casino at lake tahoe in i think '74..my friend got me some comp tickets--tipped the consoniquer 5 bucks and he seated us in front row to the side..my very cute gf and i were just 21 yo--Glen came right in front of her on stage and sang to her while on one knee--the crowd roared!! best date i ever had,gf was blown away...

When i met glen in Frankfurt in ‘75, I looked in his eyes and shook his hand. He looked in my eyes briefly. He looked at me after i said, “I love your music.” Then he said, “Thank you...”

The first time I ever saw an Ovation guitar was when Glen Campbell was playing one on TV and I wondered how that round back was made on it. What a wonderful talent he was! I was at the perfect age to really both appreciate The Beatles, and of course, Glen Campbell....

Not long after the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan....CBS bought out Leo Fender's Company and started a policy to have any Artist on a CBS TV show use a Fender product to assure exposure by the old style Product placement when Companies sponsored the commercial free Shows . Mason Williams was an Executive and share-holder of CBS , he composed Classical Gas and got on the 1968 Smother's brothers TV show to play it. Glen managed to Host the show for the Summer break and was given his show in 1969 on CBS with the support of Tommy and Dick. The Fender Company had also owned ' Ovation ' guitars and had Glen use it to prompt sales while Mason Williams ( CBS ) got Glen to also do Classica Gas on his Ovation guitar. Not sure if the Beatles came back to the Sullivan because I don't thing Paul would have kept his 4001S Rikenbacker in the case while handed a Fender , or that Ringo would play Drums made by a Company also owned by CBS. Check out the Sullivan shows after 1965 and watch for Fender products even if the singer Lipsync while the band plugs into dead Fender amps .

Gentle on My Mind ... Rest in peace, Glen.

Glen Campbell...truly a nice guy. I was 8 years old the first time I heard 'Rhinestone Cowboy', and that song to this day...brings back all those childhood memories I have of growing up in rural Texas. It wasn't however, until my teens, that I re-discovered his earlier hit, 'Gentle On My Mind'. My fav-o-rite Glen Campbell track. What a masterpiece. And his guitar picking...is simply off the charts. What a performer. 👍😎👍

What wonderful memories this brings back. Grew up with mom playing the records of Hank W, Patsy Cline, Linda Ronstadt, Glen Campbell... Miss those good old days. Somewhere in the old family movies is GC and many others golfing at the annual Andy Williams tournament here in San Diego. Everyone so approachable back then, like another time in another universe

I was a rock and roller, but I always appreciated Glen Campbell. And the lyrics, those songs.

Glen Campbell was a guitar master, Loved his music, Thanks for the memories Mr Campbell

He had quite the career.. Singer, hit maker, guitar player, host of his own television program and actor. Pretty high up on the talent chain.

RIP: Glen Campbell. You are in the top 5 guitarists ever. And, God Bless Kim for saving his ass from destruction and helping through your hardest, and his, last days of his life.

I'll second that a great musician, composer, singer.

Glen really “owned” his guitar. We loved him even though he was a flawed human like the rest of us.

I was sick with MUMPS and my dad set up a TV for me to watch while in Quarentine. I saw Glenn at ten and loved him ever since. I play all his songs in a casino tribute band. I love it!

Him doing that song Gentle on Mind, is almost like hearing a song in heaven. The way he nailed it.

Growing up in Ny we really didn't listen to Glen Campbell much, but after seeing this video i realize that we did. Just didn't know it and how important he was to all music Genres, how he impacted all music around us. i don't read music any more, i find my ears are better than my eyes. I feel the music more. Funny iv'e played "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" many times in my life in my shows. never realized it was Glen Campbell's song. I think i will announce it now. RIP Glen Thank You for all the music .

What a great documentary about Glen Campbell. Anyone would love to have such an honest portrayal of their lives. Thank you.

In the early 1970's there was a small record shop near my school. I picked up Jimmy Webb's "Letters" from the bargain bin for $1.99. I was blown away - who knew "Galveston" was such a beautiful song! Whenever I hear Glen Campbell, I hear the remarkable Jimmy Webb!

So glad that Glen came back to his childhood Faith and the truth that set him free. See you on the other side ❣️

Glenn, you were one of my favorite guitarists. You and Johnny Cash were my favorite country singers and I admired your talent and charisma. You were a great all around entertainer! RIP and I hope to see you on the other side.

I will always love and miss you Glen Campbell, you were such a part of my life during all those years , RIP see you when I get there ♥♥♥

Glen was a good friend to me always. My grandfather Roger Adams worked with him since the early sixties.

He has passed and I miss his creative energy. I hope, trust and pray he is singing Gentle On My Mind to a vast audience of angels.I feel saddened for his wives and children!

We listened to Glenn a lot in our house growing up. One of mom’s favorites. Him and Freddy Fender. Thanks for your research.

It was good to hear this you tube vid. I had forgotten how much of his music I listened to as I was growing up as a child. God rest your soul.

I'm greatful to my daddy for introducing me to Glen, Nat King Cole, Karen Carpenter, Louis and Ella ... and all the crooners. i'm doing the same for my kids now.

I got to see him and his children on his fair well tour. It was really awesome..

He was part of my life at 12 years old. I listen to his voice over a transistor radio. Great memories now 70

Goodby Mr. Rhinestone, enjoy being in Heaven and I cant wait till I see and hear you performing for God Almighty Himself. Loved all your songs and listened to them as much as possible while I was driving a truck across our Great Nation. God Bless you and your family, thank you for the Memories!!!!!

Always liked Glen's music. Bought his greatest hits album a few years ago. I'm glad I found this documentary but sorry to see what fame and fortune can do to even the most down to earth people. His faith brought him through at the end and that's what really counts.

I love Glen just as much today as I did in 1969 when I was 12. He left us way before his time.

He went to my church in the early '80s. Phoenix AZ. He seemed normal or just like everyone there.

I saw Glen in Manchester England when he was on his last tour he was with his daughter and family that helped him out on stage.he was lovely.....

Hard to believe he's been gone a week and I miss him so much more than I thought was possible. I was a kid when Glen had his Goodtime Hour, and heard his songs on the only little radio we had in the house. I don't know how the station producers got his songs on that station because they weren't pop and they weren't country, but it was my mom's radio and I didn't force the issue. I also discovered Neil Diamond and Herb Alpert from her radio and it was only in passing from playing outside to coming in to use the bathroom. I give Herb credit for making me want to play trumpet and I loved it, still do but haven't played in a few years now. Glen had one hell of a ride, there weren't too many things he hadn't experienced by the time he passed away. I feel so lucky to have lived in this time, hopefully I have another 20+ years to enjoy music and life. God bless Glen for all the music he gave us and if his kids are any sign of things, his 3 youngest are all musicians, Debby can sure sing, Travis is on here, so that leaves 3 kids that I'm not sure about.

There is no artist that could have went farther in their craft. He was great! So happy that I was on this earth at the same time he was. Thank you for sharing. I love this show helps me to understand him a little better. He will be missed. I would like to send my condolences to his family especially his wife Kim. I am sorry that after you went through all those years when he was ill, then when he passes family members stir up problems for you. So sorry. I pray for you.

Glen Campbell it was your song Gentle On My Mind. That was in Roy Clarks big note song book,that was the first song I ever learned on the guitar. I chose that song because it only had two chords (the only two chords) I had learned at that time. That is what sent me off on my musical journey. And I just wanted to thank you. So thank you so much and thanks to Roy Clark foe his big note songbook. Thats where I learned how to tune my guitar . Im 57 years old now. And been playing and singing since I was17years

It is funny how much I hate country music growing up as a teenager. Coming from an African background and as a Nigerian it was easy to appreciate my stand cos it is just not our style of music. All that changed when in late 80s I stumbled on a cassette tape among my elder brother collections of music out of curiosity I played the tape and my perception about country took a turn around there and then. The track that helped me achieve this feat was Glen Campbell Gentle on my mind. The feeling I got from listening to gentle on my mind and some of Glen's other tracks was beyond word description. It immediately took me away from my music culture as it was then into a world of pure bliss. I played the cassette tape until it worn out which didn't take long. Glen song gave me a new discovery in country music which help me expressed myself, my teenage years growing up my first love the ups and the downs, the sunshine and the laughter I couldn't find expression of in other music where easily captured by the country music. Today the feeling I get when listening to country music is simply heavenly. Thanks Glen and may your soul rest in perfect peace.
