Glen Campbell Visits Larry King (2002)
From April 2002, Glen Campbell visits Larry King and talks about the Goodtime Hour being re-aired, his early career, working with the Champs and the Beach Boys, his thoughts about Tanya Tucker, and Mac Davis, his battles with drugs & alcohol, how God brought him out of that, his Messianic faith, working on "True Grit" with John Wayne, where he was on 9-11, his personal & professional friendship with Andy Williams, his friendship with Elvis and his reaction upon hearing of Elvis' death, meeting Elvis in Albuquerque in the 1950's; Glen sings several of his hits with just his guitar, and even gets Larry to sing "Buttons and Bows"!

I love all those songs from Glenn! Brings back so many memories. RIP Glenn...
Genius musician and once in a lifetime talent. With just a guitar he sounds like a 5 piece band and blows away all of today's so called musical artists. Anyone who doesn't realize that to just have a guitar and no backing players and sound this good, is skill and talent that cannot be teached.

I get teared up anytime I hear Witchita Lineman. Sure doesn't hurt to have the great Jimmy Webb writing a lot of your songs but it didn't matter. I know musicians hate the word crossover, but before that became fashionable that is what I thought his music was. I loved you Glen Campbell,=. Neverr say never, but there will never be another like him

Glen was possibly the greatest musician/ singer virtuoso performer of his or any other generation When he sang Jimmy Webb he exposed the nearest glimpse of heaven witnessed by mankind
Always thought of Glenn Campbell as a country hick, but after learning guitar and watching his playing, he is a genius.

A quote after Glen’s passing from Jimmy Webb, who wrote many of Campbell's hits and worked with him throughout his life. He said “Campbell could play with any guitar player in the world, from George Benson to Eric Clapton," adding that Paul McCartney considered him among the best guitar players. "People will realize what an extraordinary genius Glen really was," Webb told ABC News.
2023 and still wonderful. pure talent, no gimmicks. RIP, Glen.
Wow what a wonderful talent, 1 man, 1 guitar, 1 voice, how superb. There will never be another Glen Campbell, even more amazing he didn't read music. Thanks for posting, RIP Glen and respect to all his loved ones.
Instead of being sad of his passing, I'm so glad Glen was in our time !! Thanks Glen !! You made are lives so much happier !!!
Tanya Tucker says he is ,was , and always will be the love of her life.❤
What a voice , strummer and what a gift, a beautiful man.
Back in 1973 my eldest son was 7 years old. We were driving in the car and Galveston played. My son cried and was sobbing. At 7 years old !! The power of Glen,,,,,,

Who wouldn't fall in love with Glen Campbell after watching him perform Wichita Lineman?? Breaks my heart wide open every time.
What a guitar player. What a voice.
Larry was a great interviewer & this was one of his best.
I love Glenn Campbell’s voice ❤ and our culture doesn’t feel the same without Larry King’s interviews😢
I saw Glen Campbell and Andy Williams at the Andy Williams Theater in Branson, Missouri back in June of 2006. They put on a great show before Glen was diagnosed with alzheimer's.
The part when Larry King sings with him... Man... one of the coolest things ever. Two of the best ever at their respective occupations.
It’s great to hear a person with just acoustic guitar accompaniment.
You can really hear the Genius of his guitar picking here. An honest, genuine man. Rest In Peace, Glen. We will always remember you.

Yes, and he loved people, was very kind man♡
Hard to name my favorite song by this guy. Galveston always comes to mind, but there were/are so many great songs. Many years ago, CMT had a "country's greatest 100" and the top 10 was a mini concert. As I recall, in that top 10, Campbell had two songs, and unlike most of the celebrated artists, Campbell was able to perform them both, himself. It was great
All these years later and I’m still so saddened about Glen’s passing ...... he just seemed so down to earth and easy ....... Mr. Gentle on my Mind ...... rest in eternal peace Mr Campbell, and thanks for all the great music and all the good times!
What an incredibly nice , honest man ! Funny too. So very talented and such pureness in his voice. I enjoyed listening to him here with Larry King. Great performances of his songs, I especially like Gentle on my mind. He looked great here in 02. RIP Glen, you are missed. 🎼🎶🎸💓
Glen was ALWAYS quick to give credit to those who have helped him..within the first minute of the interview, crediting his writers on his TV show...such a class act! Yes, he was not perfect...but who is!

@@politicalpartyagnostic268 I think it’s two things. His true, humble beginnings and deep southern principles lend a great deal to how he credits many others to his success. Also, Glenn Campbell grew was an inherent storyteller, and learned along the way in his entertainment career that his fans loved hearing all the details of the giants he played along side of, and the twists, turns and trail of broken hearts he left in his own personal life. Like he said.. he wasn’t perfect, but he is a global icon and one of Gods special creations.

Thanks for posting this!! There will never be another Glen.
glen was a master at playing the guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching videos a few days after his passing with deep appreciation of this fine gentle soul & his fascinating, skillful ability to entertain. Gorgeous man.
So much talent. Sounded like two guitar players on all songs, he was that good. Thanks for posting.

A little chilling too to think that the physiological changes to his brain that would result in the first signs of Alzheimer's a few years later had probably already begun at the time of this interview...

Wow! That was an amazing performance of just Glen and the acoustic guitar. How I wish he would have made an album like this!
Great interview! Yeah it was sad he lapsed again later and caused that accident, but instead of letting go of it all, like many others would have done, he again cleaned his act and apparently stayed sober after that. For an alcoholic, one glass of beer may already be too much to handle, and enough to cause a relapse. That is something most people don't seem to realize when they are dealing with recovering alcoholics. Respect to Glen and to his family!
Have never known Glen to say a unkind word about anyone. Always a class act. I think everyone truly loved him including Jim Morrison !!!!!

I love Glen Campbells music since first heard by me and I love the man for his openness and honesty. Recently...well, near 20 years ago...Waylon Jennings died and he was another absolutely amazing singer and incredible entertainer as was Glen. Oh, what an awful thing old age and death is...that such beautiful, shining lights on this earth as these men, who make us so happy still today, have to leave us. This is the best Larry King Show I ever saw. Seldom does he have anyone sing...and we can see how much he was loved by Larry too.
This is the best!! Just Glen and his guitar. Doesn't get better then this. And ole Larry is enjoying it too!!
Glen Campbell was one of the best ever! His songs always made me feel happy. It just dawned on me just how much I loved him and how much I miss him.
Glen was a great person. I wish I would have went to Branson to see him.
Enjoys those Southern Nights forever, Glen Campbell. Thank you for the music and the memories.

When Glenn's sings his song with just him and his guitar it is so much better than the record cut. You just get Glenn and only Glenn and it just sound so much better. I wished they would release singles of the artist and his own guitar.
what a legend
I tear up every time I hear him sing Galveston..a very powerful song about the young men sent off to war, wondering if they'd come home. 2 boys from my town, drafted, died over there
You can see his life through his children's stories, songs, all the stories are so wonderful. Even during the bad times. Glen always owned his life. So great that his family was together with their father at the end. There is nothing more powerful and sad at the same time. God bless the Campbell family. They have a lifetime of love to hold onto.
These acoustic versions are fabulous!
Speaks volumes that he can perform a song with just a guitar. If Glen had not had his dissent into addiction, he would have been more quickly perceived as a one of a kind musician. Just an incredible talent.
thank you Lord for saving him. Man, if I could play half that good I think I'd be happy.

Wonderful footage of THE MAN. great interview!
Glen Campbell was such a decent, clever and honest man rarely seen then and now.
Wichita Lineman, written by Jimmy Webb, interesting side story. In the mid '60s Steve Allen had a talk show and Jim Webb on the show mainly because of his song Up, Up, and Away was such a major smash hit at the time. In the interview with Webb, Steve Allen asked him if he had any new songs he had written. Jim talked about a new song he had half written and talked about he had a special artist in mind to record it. He even sang some bits of it and told a little story behind it. Off course he didn't tell who he had in mind for it. Funny he even said in his bones he knew it would be his most famous of his written music. Quite interesting to be watching TV a year later and hearing the song, and witnessing all that was talked about come to pass.
Thank you very much, love this man!
What a legend. Thanks for posting. RIP.

Everyone says he sang tenor. He has such a wide vocal range, you could call him an easy baritone in addition to a tenor, and if he were singing in a church choir, he could sing the bass part all day too. Name any Elvis or Johnny Cash tune, both baritones, and Glen could nail it without changing key.
