He also seemed like such a generous person to share kudos with others.

At 68yrs old i've seen many great musicians. Personally , i believe Glen is one of the greatest guitarists ever recorded. But because of his great vocals people naturally focused on his singing. He was a session musician who couldn't read or write music. One of a kind.

He truly was a virtuoso. God given natural talent. His arrangements are like no one else’s and one of the first that I recognized the use of minor progressions to drive a song.

What's interesting is that most remember Glen Cambell as simply a pop icon, but he was way more than that. He was a highly accomplished musician.

When you can sound good in a setting like this, just sitting on a couch pickin' and singin', you actually have talent.

At 8am in the morning!

Chance meeting with Donny: Circa 1980, I was an engineer at at Chicago TV station. One morning, he was alone in the studio hallway quietly waiting to appear on our morning show. I was pushing an oscilloscope cart down the hall, and nodded respectfully to him as I passed. About one step after I passed him he said: "Is that a Tektronix 465 scope?" I replied, "Yes it is, I can't believe you recognize it". He said "I have one at home in Utah". He told me he loves electronics as a hobby and enjoys relaxing at home building small electronic projects. We talked a little about the kind of electronics he liked and what he was building. Just then, he was called into the studio and we said goodbye. He was a really nice and down to earth guy. Years pass, I move to Los Angeles and work in engineering at the TV studio complex where the ABC-TV "Donny and Marie Show" was produced. Some of my co-workers worked on that show. One day at work, I mentioned my chance meeting with Donny in Chicago, and asked "Did you guys know electronics was his hobby?" They knew well. Donny was friends with several engineers and was a frequent and welcome guest in the engineering shop. One of the guys was kind of his mentor in electronics. All who knew him liked him and spoke well of him.

Whats Not To Like About Donny.. And All The Osmonds. Love Them All, Very Nice Down To Earth People. All Have Such Great Talent As Well.

Glenn is a national treasure. serious talent.

Glen’s renditions of “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” and “Dreams of the Everyday Housewife” will be listened to by music lovers eternally. RIP Glen.

Donny is so relaxed and sweet. I’ve never seen this side of him. New appreciation.

Never really taken any notice of Donny Osmond before, he was just a teeny bopper when I was in my late teens going on twenty. But he can really sing and Glen Campbell has always been very talented.

Cudos for Donny coming instantly with perfect harmonies at the end. Their voices melded so well, they'd have done a great job covering some Everly Brothers' classics.

I miss HIM so much!! I miss THOSE DAYS EVEN MORE!! I WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME !! I WOULD HAVE MADE A FEW DIFFERENT CHOICES

Glen and Donny have a nice relationship. Two of the nicest guys in the music business.

I had no idea this interview existed, and am quite pleased to see two of my life's favorites, Donny Osmond & Glen Campbell. Great day.

Thank you YT. Legends. Glen is best guitarist who plays whats needed not playing to show off. Donny, a silky smooth voice.

This was so special - hearing Glenn and Donny sing, play guitar and reminisce.

I had the immense luck and privilege to have met both Glen Campbell and Donny Osmond both before I was 12. This is so fantastic to see them together

This was lovely! We don't have enough TV like this anymore.

Wonderful clip. Donny and Glen are great. I worked at a company that was involved with music production and met Donny when he came to our studio to do an interview. He was gracious and polite to everyone, generous with his time, and a consummate professional. What an authentically nice and wonderful guy!

An amazing moment captured for time. Both Donny and Glenn were great.

This is a great interview. Glen is obviously spot on vocally and an incredible guitarist and he also comes across as a nice guy but credit has got to be given to Donny as well. Glen gets to pick the key and the arrangement that he likes and Donny does a great job of going along with it.

True enough. It is also clear Glen knows Donnie’s vocal range and took that into consideration in selecting a song key they both could get into comfortably.

He picked up a 12 string and owned it, a couple of really talented guys right there

Just. Wow. How can this bring tears? Sheer talent, true affection between these two marvelous talents, and an impromptu joint rendition of a CLASSIC. 'Nuff said. So glad this showed up for me today.

Glen was a top of the line guitarist and performer. ever. My Dad a WW-2 Veteran died of Alzheimer's. It is such a terrible disease. God Bless Mr.Campbell and my Dad!!

One of the all time best songs ... love this!

Absolute TV Gold, loved this. Glen Campbell she Donny sound so good together and you can tell they’re such good friends. Take me back to this.

Sheer perfection.....Golden voices🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶❤ Sure do miss Glen Campbell ✝️🕊

After watching this video I started talking to my wife about it. I knew he had a long relationship with Tanya Tucker so I asked my wife if she knew what time period in Glenn’s life that occurred. While she was researching that she found out that Glenn had died in a drowning accident as a boy. Apparently he had blue lips when his brother began resuscitating him. To the worlds great fortune, he lived.

There was many greats back in the day. There was Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Clark, but I have to say that Glen Campbell had it all. A great guitarist, entertainer, good looking and kind. That’s what make a star! 🤩

I really enjoyed Donny's singing. I wasn't expecting him to sound this good on a sound like this. I actually liked to hear him sing the whole song.

Glen loved playing and singing, he lights right up to another level!

Glen Campbell, Donny Osmond, John Denver, and Jim Croce were some of the fabric of the music of my youth. I grew up right along with Donny Osmond.and remember the girls swarming in the line to see him and some either getting crushed or passing out. I also remember Glen Campbell’s music so well, and the first 2 45’s that I ever got as presents were Galveston and Wichita Lineman. And then, I’m Not Gonna Miss You, relating to Glen’s Alzheimer’s that he cut and filmed with his wife and children through the years absolutely broke my heart , because it was at the exact same time as my Mom passed away after dying from the inside out caused by 7 years of battling Alzheimer’s. RIP Glen!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🎵

Thank god for KZread. Glen will live forever!!

Damn, Glen Campbell was one of the greatest musicians ever...

These are truly talented men. RIP Glen. And Donny rocks those pink socks, he's a great human.

RIP Mr Glen Campbell. Thanks for the music and the memories.

I really appreciate Glen’s God given talent, & miss his music. I have several of his cd’s, and I was blessed to see Jimmy Webb’s concert tribute to Glen. It was a wonderful show, and I was also fortunate to get to sit and chat with Jimmy after his show that night, and he was agreeable to my friend take a picture of the two of us. I still have that picture on my phone. This was after I survived a stroke. I’m grateful that I was able to see this show, meet Jimmy, & talk about Glen.

His brother Wayne was to have been extremely talented on the guitar, along with brother Jay on the drums! Remember…………he was part of a group who played many instruments, so I’m sure he has heard guitar playing like that before!!! Oh, and Glenn was playing a 12 string guitar which has a much fuller sound!!!

I attended Brigham Young University around the same time as the younger Osmond's did too. I used to see Donny and Marie roaming the campus or driving around the streets of Provo. My roommate and his girlfriend were driving down a local canyon road one day and came across Billy Joel, in town to do a concert. He had just dumped a Harley he had borrowed from Jimmy Osmond. In retrospect, those were pretty magical times. And as Donny mentioned, great skiing!

Glen Campbell my favorite country singer of all time!!!

Great post!!! Fantastic show. So much authenticity.

Wow, wow, wow, such talent in one room. Love them both.

How sweet this is!!!! Thank you Glen and Donny. You are truly the best of the best. We appreciate you so much for all you have given us! Thanks so much.

Beautiful performance from both, Donny does really well with his sweet voice and Mr Campbell his superlative best as always - love this clip!

Great memories. x R.I.P. Glen. x

Before my Osmonds craze in high school, I was a junior high girl who used my own money to buy a Glen Campbell live album because I loved his radio hits (all 2 or 3? up to that time?) because of his sweet voice. About 45 years later I got to see him, it was about a year before his Alzheimer’s announcement. Still had a great voice! RIP. I bet he’s singing with the angels now.

WOW BEAUTIFUL .. SO GLAD I GREW UP IN THE 60

Glen Campbell's songs hit me way down in my soul. Gentle on My Mind still brings me to tears every time.

Donny wearing pink socks.... courage. I respect and love Glen when he first played and let Donny sing that he took it slow and adjusted to help him and not show him up. Donny was wonderful. No Hollywood Big Head for Donny nor Glen, just two talented people.

Love Glen Campbell & his songs. Love Donny too - was so handsome - still is

I am proud and I was so lucky that Glenn Campbell was my first concert in the round at the Warwick music hall. 1973

What Glen says about Jimmy is right...When you listen to Paul Gauguin...it's incredible how he follows that chord progression through the song. I worked with him once in Dallas and was in tears a number of times when I got to listen to him play the piano...he is complete genius.

Donny’s voice is perfect

I saw Donnie and Marie perform their Christmas show in Phoenix a few years back. Mohammad Ali was there. Donny jumped down in the audience to greet him and he waved to the crowd. I’m yelling this: IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING SHOW EVER!!!! Donnie and Marie were incredible. I do not know how Donnie did the things he did. He’s my age for goodness sake. He was running around and dancing like a teenager. My mother-in-law was the realtor for Glen Campbell’s mother in Sun City. She drove us by her house. Many moons ago. LOL.

Love Donny Osmond and Glenn!! This was awesome!!! Thank You!

I love how much Donny's son, Chris (Christopher), who is a great singer and musician in his own right, looks just like his father, RIGHT NOW, just so much like his dad does back in this clip back then! I've personally met Donny, his amazing wife, Debbie, and most of his wonderful sons. He and his family are are truly the kindest people anyone could ever (hope or dream to) have pleasure to meet.

Glen is a real legend. Great guitarist too!!

All the girls at primary school were breaking their hearts over Donny. I was listening to Glen sing Try a Little Kindness.

Glen Campbell & Donny Osmond…Awesome! 👍😊👏 RIP Glen Campbell.

Music is God's gift, and musicians really know how to have fun! This is great!

Really great to hear Glen play that guitar. I had a chance to go to his concert at the P.N.E. Fair a little while back. You can really see his personality come out on this interview and Donny's too. Both so funny naturally and talented. I know After this Donny went on to be a Game show host.

Not only are they talented but they also seem like very down-to-earth guys. Being a millenial, I didn't grow up listening to the Osmonds or watching their show. In fact, I knew very little (next to nothing) about them (not even the bit about Donny singing on one of my fav Disney movie soundtracks (Mulan)) until a year or two ago. But, I did grow up listening to Glen Campbell (thanks to my dad) and I remember falling in love with his voice the first time I heard him sing Both Sides Now and Wichita Lineman. Now both dudes are up there on my list of top vocalists.
