I heard Glen Campbell died

[Godlovesmetwo]

Hey that is a sad passing.
Witchita Lineman is just a classic song and nobody did it better than him. He was part of my childhood.

Yes, and I read that some time after his 4th marriage he became a devoted Christian, so I trust he is now in Heaven. What a likable guy he was. I have enjoyed seeing his TV shows, and hearing him sing for decades. "It's Only Make Believe", originally by Conway Twitty, is my favorite song by Glen. I trust people will continue to enjoy the music he left behind, for many years to come.

You don't see it in this video, but Glen was also one of the greatest guitarist that ever lived.

"It's Only Make Believe

[Greg Merrill]

I play guitar and sing that song, and have even written my own Christian lyrics to it as well.

Wonderful recording. He will be missed I am sure.

Yes, he was a great guitarist. I remember him playing with Roy Clark, definitely one of the very best.

or if you prefer

I just watched the Roy Clark and Glen "Riders in the Sky" the other day. Glen might be gone, but these video are still here for us.

Yep. Sad. But there's nothing like this song to pick me up....!

Glen+Campbell+doing+heartbreak+hotel - Bing video
The video didn't come up on my computer, but maybe it will on my other one, and on yours. I will delete this if it doesn't. I see it did come up on my other computer.

Glen was a good fit for the times he starred in, good times for us ..

 

[Greg Merrill]

People know Glen's secular songs, but Christians will love this one.

I play guitar too. My fingers feel arthritic just watching that!

Here's an Aussie tribute to Wichita Lineman a.nd Glen Campbell
Takes two guys to sing it though.

 

[Greg Merrill]

Hear Glen speaking and singing about his friend, Jesus.

 

[Dave-W]

He toured with the Beach Boys when Brian Wilson got too ill to travel.

There is a whole chapter in the back of the book "Take Hold" by Ariel Berkowitz, telling how he came to become a Messianic believer. During the time my wife was on staff with the Tikkun America office, she processed several LARGE contributions from him. (totaling in the million $$ range)

 

[Pete2]

His most recent album has already climbed back up to #2 in the UK. Wouldn't be surprised if it was #1 next week.

The late Glen Campbell is a legend, for sure. He was responsible for many timeless classics, such as Rhinestone Cowboy (which someone beat me in posting) and numerous others.

Someone not too long ago posted the following underrated Glen Campbell recording (I don't know... maybe around three or four years ago). Until that time, I never even knew he covered that, as the version I always remembered hearing was the Cristy Lane's rendition. But Glen's is definitely worth a listen.
