Just found this yesterday. This was the last session Joe Osborn and Hal Blaine and Glenn Campbell did together. Friends for over 50 years. That's my father playing the bass. Sad to watch, but good to see them together. Those three men, and Glenn made a massive contribution to the fabric of American music, and inspired the world. The song took the grammy for best country song.

@Random Music Stuff Yes, Joe Osborn is my father. As you probably know, he died December 14, 2018. He was my best friend and I miss him terribly. Hal Blaine passed 3 months later. They are a big part of why the '60s sound the way they sound. I was fortunate to see them work together on hundreds of recordings.

That is very neat to find videos of your dad playing over the years. I randomly stumbled upon Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” a day before his 3 year death anniversary, and then over the weekend progressed to learn about The Wrecking Crew. 5 years ago I wouldn’t have really liked this music but suddenly I can’t get enough it. I’m going to look up what else Joe Osborn is known for.

My friend is a late in life son of a lovely couple. My friend's widowed father had to be in a residential care facility when his dementia progressed significantly. My friend visited his father often at that facility. He would come home depressed and tell his wife: "Dad doesn't even know who I am when I visit him. But he seems to be happy to meet me as a stranger". His wife told him to look at his dad's affliction from a different perspective. "Dad is happy to meet 'new people" every time we go to see him".

My sweet precious husband of 45 years has the early signs of dementia. We just listened to this song together and wept. He is the one who says to me, “I missed you”, if I am away from him. It’s a terrible disease to watch progress.

As an Irish Bass player all my life I hold this Man up as one of the greatest ever Guitarists.

May you always remember when the shadows fall- You do not walk alone.

The song is heartbreaking enough by itself, but to find out after hearing it multiple times that it was the Wrecking Crew that backed him on it is just devastating and joyous all at the same time. Even in the end, Glenn managed to surround himself with the best of the best musicians available and God willing, knew he had left his mark on the world. RIP Glenn.

My dad raised me listening to Glen Campbell. My dad will never know how much I admired him growing up. While he is still living I mourn for his love. He does not have this horrible disease but the words are true about him. He doesn't miss me in his life. He doesn't respond to the pain that he has caused me. I live across town and he doesn't miss me when I am here waiting on his love. He has no idea what I am going through.. Selfishly he does not miss me.. To those that have to go through this horrible disease with a family member please forgive me for shining a light on my pain...May God grant you the strength to get through this and may you know that they loved you until their memory took them away.. Take comfort in knowing that... You are loved, rejoice...

If you're a die hard GC fan, the Glen Campbell Museum in Nashville is definitely worth checking out. All of his awards, his gold and platinum records, guitars, letters, clothes, etc. It's a great experience.

Alzheimer's is such a horrid disease. Be at peace Rhinestone cowboy 😭😭

My mom died of it in 2014. Surely to God this is 2021 where is the cure.

Have moved hours from my home to live with mamma as Im her only son and child. We are early in this long journey. Trying to realize the blessings and gifts daily when darkness and pain wish to reside within me. This is an awesome video even though it invokes tears. God bless all of you loving care givers.

There is nothing really poignant that I can add to everything that's already been said but, I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share in the magic that was Glen Campbell and I will be eternally grateful.

This shit makes me cry for real!!!!! A man who knows he isnt what he was, And wants one more time to say what he feels

An incredible and powerful song, I personally think it's one of his best, it's heart wrenching, it's sad, it's real and it's honest, his beautiful family are so bless to be a part of this mans life, truly inspiring.

There will NEVER be another “Wrecking Crew” God bless Glenn and all the members of the Crew🙋🏽‍♀️💕

Glenn Campbell was a great singer, actor and performer and will be missed by all his fans who loved him and will forever remembered. Thank you for leaving us your great songs to enjoy forever along with the great memories of you performing and in the movie True Grit. RIP

I am now going through this with my husband. I hope and pray we don't get to this end. I won't be able to bear it, but this song, oh this song, makes me cry like a baby. thank you for sharing.

What a nice memories with this song be positive enough to keep going still listening. How are you Sandra ?

My brother in law has this disease and he is only 56yrs old. Seeing the way this disease slowly degenerates a man is awful and not to forget to see the family going through Alzheimers is hard in all situations in the way that a human being is slowly loosing his ability to function is a terrible act to endure for all of us in the family. So my thoughts go to Glen Campbells family and all the best for them and others who suffer in Alzheimers disease. It is in tough times that we search for something bigger than all of us maybe even inside of us and we must never forget to cherish the good times and the fond memories of the sweet moments.

This absolutely breaks my heart. Watching Tim Mcgraw sing it last night did me in. What a true talent and what a shame. God bless him and his family during this awful time.

Hi 👋 bethann, how are you doing?

I cared for both my mom and dad who had this terrible, terrible disease. 24/7/365 for six years. Dad went quickly while mom lingered. But both had it at the same time. To this day (12 years after mom died) this is all I can say about it. All of the evil that is this disease and everything that comes with it will be with me forever. I had to be there for them. Period. Here's a story from the 60s that I posted on another channel that had reviewed the song _Galveston._ I grew up listening to the labors of The Wrecking Crew. And I can remember when Glen Campbell broke out in his solo career. Try to imagine that back then there was the British invasion going on. Every week there seemed to be something new, something moving goal posts. Too, that most of us only heard this stuff on pocket transistor radios, crappy tabletop and alarm clock radios and car radios that were barely better but diminished by all of the sounds of driving. So, when Glen went off on his solo career, to me at least, it was just OK. One day in 1967 my oldest brother came back to the states for a visit. He is a captain merchant seaman. He gave dad a 2 track sound-on-sound stereo reel to reel tape machine. My dad used to play guitar. I remember, as a little shaver, him singing "You Are My Sunshine" to me while I sat on his knee. Man, did I soak up those lyrics that my dad sang just for me. Anyways, my dad disappeared that night. No one knew where he was. About an hour later he shows up with all this stuff. Two 8 inch cabinet speakers, two microphones, headphones, an empty reel and two reel to reel prerecorded albums. One of Glen Campbell's 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' and the other Herb Alpert an the Tijuana Brass' 'A Taste Of Honey.' He put it all together and cued up Campbell. Oh... My... god. The first song being 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix.' The first thing that blew my mind was the true dead sound. Sound that emanated from nothingness. No clicks, pops, hiss, fading in and out, channel bleed over, hum or some jerk jokey talking over the song. Nothing. Just glorious dead sound that really isn't sound. It must have been the same feeling that guy got when he discovered the number "zero." Discovering that to which all things come after. That, to which, will change the world. Then, the dynamics of the sound itself. It is a true thrill to hear studio recorded stereo in analog on a reel to reel analog stereo for the first time. And that song was presented as intended. Which, all things considered, was the best song I ever heard. Oh, and when I put on the headphones IT WAS EVEN BETTER! Of course, it ruined my appreciation for all music except for what was on those two tapes. I often thought how different those popular songs, and some I didn't like, that were murdered on AM radio and the junk sold to us so we could listen, would sound on reel to reel. I knew how much I was missing and there was nothing I could do about it. Naturally I told my friends how great Glen Campbell's new album was. They all thought I was square and crazy. And I told them how great 'A Taste Of Honey' was. From then on, I think they let me hang out with them out of pity - for old times sake. But I knew better... I became a musician because of Glen Campbell and 'You Are My Sunshine.' Oh, how I miss my dad. 'Everything I own' By Bread. So, there's a story that can be added to Glen Campbell's legacy. As insignificant it is to everyone. Except, of course, to me. Thanks, Mr. Campbell.

We were all lucky just to be living around this time to see Glen Campbell in his prime and then to go out like he did on his own terms.

One of the best musicians in history!!

I'm a grown man and I swear I cannot make it to the first chorus without crying.

I'll be Me is Glen's final gift to the world. Everyone should watch it.

What a beautiful retrospective of Glen's life! From these clips, it looks like he led the perfect life.

I recorded the documentary called I'll be me a while ago.. because i love Glen Campbell...its taken me a while to watch it because I looked after my mom for 7 yrs with alzheimer's.. you see the individual..but you know its not them inside..can they hear you when you tell them you love them and that it'll be om ? we don't know what goes on in their head...it was very hard..but I'd do it in a heartbeat so to see this great man slowly disintegrate before your eyes was heartbreaking..but how wonderful was it when he was on stage and he belted out those songs with that golden voice of his and when he played duelling banjo's with his daughter Ashley.. so sad he's gone..but he is free from this awful disease now and serenading the good Lord.. but god look at the wonderful songs he leaves us with..We're gonna miss YOU... how to pick a favourite..sooo many to choose from.. i love By the time I get to Phoenix because of the emotions of his voice..but ive gotta go with Wichita Lineman because it was my wonderful dads favourite.. so every time I hear it I think of him and shed a tear as i am doing now ..🇬🇧🙏😥💞😍💔

Beautiful words and man singing this song!!! This disease is so awful for anyone to experience, Strips you of your identity of yourself and your surroundings. I'm not giving up on hope to find a cure but please hurry. My mother has this dreaded disease and I am upset and terrified that one day I will get this.. Watching my mother go through this has been emotionally for me and angry!!!!!! I try to put on a act for her but deep inside its killing me..... Please Help Find A Cure!!!!!!

Seeing Toby Keith joking around with Glen in this video hits home.

LET US ALL SAY AS MANY PRAYERS AS WE CAN FOR THE HOMELESS & THE FORGOTTEN WHO HAVE BEEN STRICKEN WITH ALZHEIMER'S.

I grew up hearing Glen’s songs being played by my dad on his record player... such a great song even with his ailment. I’m crying

That is probably one of the most saddest songs I've ever heard. It's hauntingly raw and truthful. I wish that didn't happen to them. Heartbreaking.

Glen was a great guy, I remember him wearing cut-off blue jeans shorts and flip flops coming to our house to go fishing. As a kid he was my favorite with rhinestone cowboy....but this song hits an all time high. Rest easy friend .

This brings tears to my eyes. Such a devastating disease but his family carried him through it, by his side every step of the way.

OMG ! that is one of the most sad yet beautiful songs I have ever heard. It tells such a poignant story of the LOVE he had for his wife and family... But he will not miss that insidious alzheimers disease, it can NEVER take love away from you. Thank you so much for your Magic music. Have a wonderful time up there.❤️ you will be missed world wide. love from Melbourne Australia.❤️

Feeling nostalgic. Too sad to watch. His guitar playing exceptional. His music beautiful. He always sing with so much emotion, outstanding. One of the best in his time and today in my opinion.
