I had a Goodtime singer girlfriend from 1971-1979. I saw him close up at the International Hotel (now the Hilton) and helped keep his banjo player sober when around during his three month long stays at the hotel. I also delivered music to his house on Mulholland Dr. during the tenure of his Goodtime Hour show. His music arranger, Marty Paich, was the father of Lorrie Paich (Goodtime singer), my girlfriend. Lorrie's brother is David Paich of Toto. I actually got the know his wife (in the 70s) well because she was who I delivered the music to at their home. She was gorgeous and had those first three children, as toddlers, running around. When Glen and Jerry Reed were playing Las Vegas, they'd get "comped" high class hookers every night. That's 90 high class hookers in a row before he went home to his poor wife. Personally, the Glen Campbell I knew was a coke/amphetamine/whore monger (and so was Jerry). But, what's wrong with that as long as it's legal. It's a shame he cut out the first kids because they suffered with his miserable lifestyle as children. He eventually straightened up, otherwise he's have died long before he did. So his legacy was to cut out the kids hurt most by his behavior, not much of a legacy!

I think his widow controlled things. I am so sorry for those 3 children!🥲🥲🥲

Yes, indeed, she was a manipulative creature... She even had him buried the day AFTER he died. She must have had the coffin and grave in place in readiness... EWWW!!!. talk about a CARING WIFE.

The children he had with all these women were HIS RESPONSIBILITY and all should have been treated equally. Period.

Not only a great voice, outstanding guitarist also.

By far "Wichita Lineman" is my favorite song, as it is a sentimental song I would sing the lyrics to my 1st wife (RIP). The lyrics I would sing were "I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time..." I never appreciated Glen's music until I was an adult, but Glen was a true artist, and very few could compare to his talent. RIP Glen Campbell.

His wife Kim has zero empathy for his older children, you know, the ones that he was not the best dad to while he went through his cocaine alcoholic womanizing days! Kim’s kids always had it good and didn’t have to deal with that heavy toxicity, but they got their share...Kim’s probably a narcissist! They always push away step kids, they might take a little attention!

So sad that those three children were left out of the Will… no matter what or how distant they become unless they are absolute A/holes they should’ve been considered even by the current wife. It’s not so much about the money as it is that your father didn’t care about you.… I followed Glenn Campbell as a fan for many years. I just can’t imagine he had any nastiness in his bones. He was the sweetest man ever I thought. This might’ve been, some thing his current wife had a lot to do with. Don’t know can’t put blame on anyone. We all need to have our living will in order. Prior to our death, so that there is no nastiness among family members nor hurt feelings. I know personally that this can cause a family departure that never heals. Sadly, God bless you all.

Yes, indeed, there was not one ounce of nastiness in his face or eyes... he was just a lovely person.,.. The last wife was certainly a vindictive nasty creature.

Never thought of him as a country artist. He left the South and moved West, part of The Wrecking Crew, was a Beach Boy. Never part of the Nashville elite!

A real shame. There was plenty to go around. The siblings who were cut out should have been taken care of by the ones who were named. It's the right thing to do.

I absolutely loved his music from the time I first saw him on television .....Absolutely awesome talent!

I love all of his songs but by far my all time favorite song by glen Campbell is rhinestone cowboy. I was 2 years old when it came out and tried to sing along when it played on the radio and on YV shows. RIP Glen Campbell

Kim’s kids never were exposed to that father and always had a silver spoon hanging out of their mouth.... Has a touch of narcissism about it...

Yes indeed, I wouldn't have given that last wife housroom.

Glen Campbell came to sing at the free outdoor stage at the local fair. My Sweetheart & I stood near an old huge oak tree listening among many older people, enjoying the heck out of it.

I love Glen Campbell's "Galveston" due to the mournful, lovelorn anguish of it's central character who's stuck fighting in a war and separated from his love (a girl or the beautiful Texas island?). It's release during the Vietnam war made it all the more appealing as so many were separated from their loved one due to the war, a musical touchstone if ever there was one. It remains mysterious with superb music and lyrics by the great Jimmy Webb who fed Campbell so many great hit songs. It is in its own way most hypnotic. As a post script, Galveston was rated in 2003 the number 8 greatest country music song by Country Music Television (CMT) in it's fan voted rankings.

Glen Campbell, aside from numerous TV specials, also had a couple of successful variety shows in the late 60s to early 70s and another in the early 80s. But the first one often featured the perpetually sunny Mike Curb Congregation as musical guests and gave us such perky tunes like "Sweet Gingerbread Man"! Hahaha! Several of them can be seen here on KZread!

I saw glen live with his daughter Debbie in orem Utah in the late 90's seara theater my favorite song is gentle on my mind ...

I feel bad for the children. The same thing happens with these rich wills like Disney

He “fathered” all of those children, so they ALL should have a claim. Glen Campbell had a great gift, but like many men “always believed the grass was greener on the other side.”

Glen was upset with them because when he and their mother divorced she got half the income from a publishing company he owned. When she died the children continued to collect this money until Glen and his then wife discovered it and stopped the payments saying the ex-wifes claim on this money died with her. I believe it actually went to court and Glen and Kim got the ex-wifes half back....I think that created an ugly situation between Glen and those (by then adult) children and sometime after that he disinherited them.

The great Rhinestone Cowboy, Glenn Campbell was surrounded by his family. That was his last live performance .. I heard the news of his passing Online Ethernet.
