He explained that Wichita Lineman came on the radio as he was pulling in. The whole crew nodded approvingly and his boss said it was an acceptable excuse. Glen Cambell was such a legend.

This was not being played on the R&B station, KNOK, at the time; so I would hunt through all the channels until I found a Country Western Station, or POP station so I could hear this gem.

My parents are both gone now and 1 beautiful sister, too, but just for the few minutes of listening, they are all right here beside me and all is right with my world!

Gives me the chills everytime I listen to this.

What an absolutely kick-ass performance. Folks, this is what true talent is.

God-bless his soul.

I have to say that I feel incredibly privileged to watch this man playing. His performances, the quality he delivers, the emotion, it’s all very very high level and very emotional at the same time. It’s a masterclass all on its own, just to watch him performing a song for 2 minutes. Absolutely legendary!

One of the greatest guitars players and entertainers of the world.

I'm a rock guy and definitely don't normally have time for country music, but this must be one of the most beguiling and haunting songs in terms of chord structure, melody and feel. Brilliant

Glen did not consider himself country. This transcends labels.

My Mother Raised 9 kid's alone and loved Glen so Much that she Named her youngest Son Glen,I have 5 younger Brothers & 3 Younger Sisters. I left home early in life,and joined the Marine Corps, then after Honorable Discharge, did a 4 year your in the U.S. Coast Guard, Folled by 10 years in the U.S. Merchant Marine..I taught myself To play Guitar While at Sea...& Have Been in Too many Rock n Roll bands to Count(All very successful with very talented 🎶 Musicians) A lot of people don't realize how exceptionally versatile,Glen Campbell's Was He actually was a Beach Boy for a short while,and as a Studio Musician.a member of " The Wrecking Crew" Who were laying down tracks on countless Albums For Many years... Check him out playing a 12 string with a Symphony on You tube...I believe he plays the William tell overture... He is so Underated As what I consider One of the best Guitar player's that Graced this World... Witchita Lineman Hit's me hard whenever.. I hear it... I smile & cry Missing my Mom Who passed.... And Friends who We're Killed... When I was A Lineman. "There's No Eraser... On a Linemans' Pencil" One Mistake is most Often the Final One made in this Very Dangerous Trade. People take for granted,the daily Turning on a switch Or having a refrigerator, Television etc.etc. So please remember When a Hurricane. Nor'Easter ,Blizzard Or Strong wind caused a Power Outage.....Brave Men & Women...are Risking Death while you're sitting in the Darkness.......

Writer Jimmy Webb's perfect marriage to Glen Campell's vocals..the most awesome duo of the sixties. My lord, this is equisite...Tthe sixties music was monumental and never to be replicated.

One of the great songs ever written..

This is the Glen Campbell I remember, pure talent right here.

I got goosebumps listening to Glen perform this song. Took my breath away. The guitar is attached to him like a natural appendage. His voice was strong and clear as a bell. He was a one of a kind talent. His songs are immortal.

This is one of the songs I can't listen to with anyone else in the room. Breaks me up every time.

64 year old man who lifts weights and this song can bring a tear especially since Glen is gone.

I work for PBS. This concert special was recorded with Glen and the South Dakota Symphony in 2001 and was released on both CD and DVD. It’s 21 tracks of magic.

The Best !!! World renowned musician and vocalist missing you the real Lineman ‼

Even factoring in all the accolades he's received over the years, I still consider Glen Campbell to be so very underrated. A prolific entertainer; an incomparable singer with perfect diction, timing, pitch, and with a natural smoothness to his voice. One of the best guitar players there ever has been. A writer, an actor, a comedian, a host. He acted with John Wayne in True Grit, as well as sang the theme song. His talent was tremendous, a gift from God. I will miss him so much--

@@dwaynereese1047 Roy was incredible. One of a kind. Rockabilly music with an operatic voice. I have said many times that when Roy did a song, he owned it. No one covered it because no one could measure up. Except Glen. I saw Glen do "Crying", and it was every bit as well done as Roy did it. Hard to tell the difference.

This is what perfection sounds like. Incredible song. More incredibly singer, song writer, and performer.

I had the great privilege of meeting Jimmy Webb back here in the U.K. I told him that I believed the Witchita Lineman was for me, the greatest popular music song ever written and performed by Glen perfection.I still hold to that view... Bless them both.

My Dad’s favorite singer was Glen Campbell. I was a rock and roll fan. I never realized what a great guitar player and talent he was! Sometimes, father knows best!

I am a proud Scotsman who is in awe of this man. You did your true homeland good. Love always from Scotland ♥️♥️♥️

Glen Campbell, Charlie Pride and Ronnie Milsap. That's my 3 favorite country singers of all time. Can't beat them. I'm 56 years old and their music brings back so many good memories of when I was young a child growing up. Good times !!
