How the hell did 100 people find this version as unacceptable? Glen Campbell had an incredible voice and an orchestral backing. What is there not to like is version.

Doesn't get enough recognition as one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, helluva singer as well. Not sure anyone else can match that.

Never heard Glenn sang this before but DANG!! Did he ever nail it.

The song the singer!!! This is what it's all about! He did everything! A unique human being indeed! Teresa the UK 🇬🇧

We lost a great talent in Glen Campbell. He did a really good job with this beautiful tune.

I sometimes forget just how good a singer Glen was. It's good to hear this one again.

How cleverly stated; I like that, the " Soundtrack of our Lives?" I commented on Soundcloud that a country writer's music should be termed " Creatively Crafted Country " and he took my idea for his next ALBUM ! Yep, true story- (Phil Bowen, video "Red Sun") The "music" can't get much better,, but the SOUND is a bit "off." On the subject of "hearing ?" Nobody out here would ever dispute that Glen Campbell's talent deserves even more than, this fifty-piece orchestra. However..Does anyone out there actually "HEAR" any keyboard sounds ? Two electric guitars plus Glen's; anyone HEAR those guitars ? Don't mind a left handed conductor, but find is strange he never ever moves his right arm , or hand, until the very end, at which time he raises both very HIGH? Expert aerial camera shots are avoiding filming all three of those aforementioned musicians- Why?Loving the Oldies and the great lyrics , but truthfully, I'd a preferred Glen really playing his guitar and a maybe four piece band of "all active" members, and maybe a couple of strings . (Like four on each instrument, right ?) THIS fifty-piece-orchestra did nothing but provide "mood", which is always nice. And, being a supporter of many youth orchestras, this provided jobs for many of them too-along with music copyists ; Surely Glen approved this "setting," but I just had to say it. Comments welcome-Try to change my mind if you prefer. Thanks. .

This is the best version of this song, Glen puts so much into it his voice is fantastic. What a great performance.....

this version by all is the most beautiful ever recorded. Glenns strong vocal ability delivererd the vocals with such passion. I loved it when I was a kid, and it still gives me chills to this day. What a Song!

The way this song was written to build up up up , was pure magic. It sounds as if the chords continue to go up the neck of a guitar, but it is, Only Make Believe, they just go back and forth. What an Awesome and well written song. HATS OFF to the writer.

Those of us that have had the pleasure of meeting Glen in person realize that soon his memory may well be gone, but the heart and spirit lives on, not only through his music, but also his children and Glen himself. Walk with Glen if you have had the great fortune to have known him, and go with his music if you have not, having learned what a real human being is and what he has meant to all of us.

Glen Campbell, way too much talent in one Body. Incredible Guitar player / Dinger / actor - good looks. Way too much talent. I really loved his singing and playing. He also played session for Frank Sinatra with the wrecking Crew

What an astounding voice Glen had. Every song he did was faultless & as for his guitar abilities, his playing on so many other artist's songs, testify of that.

Wow, just wow! I really don’t know who sung this better, and I don’t take that comment to lightly. That’s because Conway Twitty, was the master of this song. However Glen Campbell has been widely excepted by his peers, To have the best raw natural talent of most if not all country singers, he just blew this song off the chart.

And on other charts it peaked at: #2. Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and in Australia... #3. Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart and in Ireland... #4.
