RIP Glen Campbell

My older sister was a fan of Glen so I heard my share of him through the bedroom wall growing up. Always enjoyed what he did. Good tunesmith and did covers very well. Watched his variety show in the early-80s and he was a good entertainer. I found his casting as the Texas Ranger in "True Grit" a bit curious, but I guess he had enough star-power at the time to stand along side The Duke.

My all time favourite song was "Like a 9 stone cowboy"

So very sad, from all accounts a true gent as well and never let fame get to him.

A true crossover legend and ace guitar picker. A friend met him once and said he was a very nice humble guy. RIP Glen.

Excellent documentary 'I'll be me' on Netflix. Specially if you can play it through your Naim system 

RIP great man

I saw his final UK tour (Birmingham - November 2011) and bought the t-shirt which says "Thank you and Goodbye", which words I repeat today with great sadness.

A sad tale - it wasn't until later in my life that I got to appreciate what a fantastic guitar player he was. Those Jimmy Webb-penned songs were classics. My mum was mad on country music in the late 60s and 70s - along with Marty Robbins, GC was her favourite and I have memories of his records playing on the music centre in our front room.

Adios 

backed just about all the usa artists in 60s,a live beach boy, made some classics on vinyl ,some did only a fraction of that and the called them a superstars,only have one vinyl and one cd of his but he knew is craft for decades  and gave millions all over the world pleasure.. great stuff glen

Oh the many hits I remember from the car radio on long drives.  Wichita Lineman is in my heart
