Right after "...Phoenix" was released, Glen was on a tour with Red Foley and Lynn Anderson when he came to Salt LakeCity. After the show I went with Glen and his band to a local nightclub, where Glen jumped up on the stage and joined in with the house band. After that, we all went to an all-night coffee shop where we sat and talked until I had to leave at 5:30 AM to do my radio show. Glen was telling stories and jokes the whole time. It remains one of my most cherished memories

As a child in 1969. I faithfully watched "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" I enjoyed so much watching and hearing Glen sing and play Guitar. I wanted to be on his show. I wanted to sing and play Guitar with Glen. So, my Dad bought me and my kid Brother a cheap Acoustic Guitar. He said if you stick with the instrument, I'll get you a better one. So I taught myself to play guitar, and started to write my own songs . I was 13yrs. old. By the time I got pretty good, Glen's show was cancelled. But I did play in several bands through out the 70's & 80's.. I really enjoyed myself. But I never got to play with the greatest Singer/Guitarist Mr. Glen Campbell. 🎸🎵🤗

Same here. I took minor guitar lessons in elementary but I ran to my parents room, sat on the carpeted floor and waited every sunday to hear Glenn and see him play. He played a lot with a guy with long dark hair . Forget his name. Had a real crush on him and was sad in the 80’s when the tabloids started with him and Tanya. I did lose interest in his music in the 70’s but find myself so happy listening to him now at 67 and remembering a different time.

It is his voice that makes this song so Great and worth to listen.

My dad loved Glen Campbell, and my dad could sing just like Glen. My dad sang in his church choir but never had any musical training lessons. I guess it just came to him naturally. Of all things, my dad's career choice was to be a professional firefighter for the city we live in, in Pennsylvania. My dad recently passed on, and hearing Glenn Campbell's voice reminds me of my dad singing to my mom in the kitchen whenever their favorite songs would play on the kitchen radio. Ironically when dad passed away, I found him, laying on his couch, looking so peaceful. Nearby was his radio turned on and playing to his favorite Country Music station. RIP mom and dad, thank you for being with me and your four other sons for 60+ years...

A beautiful iconic song performed by a supremely gifted musician. You will never be forgotten Mr Campbell.

As a young teen in the late 60's, this was the song that played, as I nervously danced my first 'slow dance' with a girl.

While all the people I hung around back in the day were growing their hair long, getting high, and listening to nothing but rock music (which I enjoyed as well), I listened to Soul, R&B, and musicians like Glen Campbell. I still have one of his original vinyl albums that I used to play all the time. Campbell's version of John Hartford's, Gentle on My Mind, is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music regardless of the genre. It is one of the finest songs ever written. This one comes really close.

I just finished watching Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, an account of his disease and his farewell tour. It’s hard to watch his decline, but I’m grateful that he had such a supportive family. All the tributes to him that are showcased in the film were well deserved. Incredible talent.

These are legends who impacted a generation with their brilliant storytelling through mastery of musical instruments, words and voice. Wichita Lineman has got to be one of the best and most important songs ever written and recorded in and of the 20th century. What a privilege it has been to have grown up with his music that has touched my life immensely. Gone, but never forgotten. You live on in your songs, which are both beautiful to listen to and sing along.

Hello Kathleen, how is things going with you?

My gosh, this song -- and this performance -- reduces me to absolute mush. Glen Campbell is pure genius, his voice effortlessly produces the purest beauty. And the song itself... written by Jimmy Webb... what was going through his mind when he composed the music and lyrics? What is the source of the inspiration that can move another person to compose poetry and music which, when combined, brings the rest of us to tears? And are the tears the result of the voice that sings the words and makes the music, or are they the result of knowledge that something so simple yet so incredibly powerful was created by another mortal? Campbell and Webb surely will live on. Thank you to both.

To me, that is the crucial difference between mere entertainment / whimsical diversion ... and great art. And though I am more of a jazz fan myself, this combination of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell is about as close to the sublime as I dare approach. Any closer, and I would be forever blinded by the light. Well spoken, David.

One of my favorite songs that Glen Campbell sang was 'everyday housewife' and 'Wichita Lineman' he had so many great songs, and I remember them from my wonderful childhood growing up around my parents who loved music and played it morning and night in our house. It made everything festive bright cheery and loving, I wish those times were here forever but as we can see times have changed. But we can always remember Glenn, and we have KZread to watch him on and to listen to his great music. thank you KZread for being here for us. Rest in peace Glenn see you in the Resurrection. {John5:29; 11:24,25. Acts 24:15.}

this song...and all his...makes me want to leave town and drive across the country...just to listen to his songs and think about my life....and where I went wrong or right...

Like driving across country you can always take another road and change the course of your life.

The strings,french horns,flutes,Glens amazing range with his voice,the arrangement,and oh yeah Jimmy Webb wrote it,and Glen's version of Jimmy's song "In Cars"....But hearing Glens voice and the lyrics always make me misty eyed..And a honorable "Beach Boy"..My gratitude and love for writers and performers who made those songs classics..

I played with Glen back when we were both studio musicians. Not only was he a great singer and songwriter, he was a Great Man. I was lucky enough to play on his first 3 albums. Luckiest though to know him and call him a friend. He was country music the it was and still should be today.

This is one of the saddest songs ever...leaving is never easy because even when things don't work out, there are still the memories of the good times.

It's so sad to see everybody get old when they were once young and carefree.

Linda Gray It happens to everybody. If they live long enough to get old!

Surely the greatest song ever written 👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

how can any one with even half a brain hate this song and give it thumbs down

Look how young and handsome Glen was in this clip. He was in his prime and he left us so much to love and remember.

Here is the young man I met before he left Pasadena, Texas to sign a record label in California. I am grateful that I was briefly able to call him a friend. I've watched his career grow. I pray for him now.

what a great voice glenn cambell has. why dont they make singer's like him anymore? music these days, really sucks big time. Singers these days have no talent. Sad too know his kimda talent no longer exist.

When angels sing... R.I.P. Glen!

Heat brought me here! Thanks Vincent!

Glen was one of the smoothest voices in music. And one awsome guitar player, and banjo layer and played also the bass. He was an early studio musician and in high demand. He was part of the famous group of session guys known as the Wrecking Crew who you hear on a majority of hit records from the 60's and seventies. He filled in for Brian Wilson as bass player for the Beach Boys during some of their early live tours in the mid sixties. I hate to hear that his Alzheimer's has gotten worse. His wife says he won't be performing any more. He can't even tune a guitar anymore and doesn't remember songs or lyrics much at all. She will give him a tuned guitar sometimes and he'll play a little bit and derives great joy in that. He's in a care facility now and she goes to be with him every day.

Hello Rose, how are you doing it's nice meeting you on here I'm Harry Arthur from Arizona and you where you from ?

Though Glen Campbell has been silenced by disease, his genius and extraordinary talent as a master musician, singer, songwriter, will live on for generations yet to be born. There are musicians...then there is Glen Campbell. God poured out an extra dose of musical prowess on any string instrument known to man....he is in a class all by himself and there is no one to fill his shoes. Thank you Lord for sharing this man and his many gifts that keep on giving!

Funny thing, how universal Mr. Campbell was. I remember as a little boy from Puerto Rico in the 60s watching him sing and enjoying his music and wonderful voice. thank you Mr. Campbell for the memories.

I remember as a kid, in the bush in Australia, that Glenn was acknowledged, as much for his guitar work, as his voice, when he first came on the scene.

Glen I enjoyed everything you done. I knows everything you did. I grew up in the generation and an area of this country where you did not let your friends hear you hum a note. But I keep on liking your music. I'm older now, and when I hear a song like this, I stop and take the time to go back in my mind. It's a nice place to visit. I'm going to invite someone to join me, and we will drink elder berry wine, and sing Glenn Campbell's sound. Except for Rhinestone Cowboy. Thanks Glen , I hope you are where you wanted to go.

I remember listening to this song when I was about eight in 1973. It was my first cassette that came with the player Mum and Dad gave me for Christmas. The time l was thinking of we on an off-road trip to South Australia and I can clearly remember laying in my bunk in the back or our Land Rover with the speaker held close to my ear putting me off to sleep. That song even as a kid made me emotional. It came of a Glen Campbell greatest hits album. When l here that song it still makes me emotional as l think back to that time when my parents were alive, and everything was magical.
