R.I.P. Glen Campbell

Died today at 81.

I was never a huge fan, but the guy could definitely sing and play. I don't think there was a radio station in the country during the '70's that went an hour without playing "Wichita Lineman" or "Rhinestone Cowboy". A tip of the hat to an American legend.

Amen.......RIP Mr. Campbell

Gentle On My Mind,  was always my favorite song from Glen. I remember years ago, working a gig somewhere and playing that song.  I looked out to see my Mom smiling and moving to the music. A good memory. Thanks Glen. RIP.

That was my favorite Glen Campbell song too, Grampy...

Unlike today's performers, he had LOTS of talent!

He was a heck of a singer/songwriter and could act pretty good also.  He and John Wayne were a lot better in the first "True Grit" than the couple of modern-day Hollywood actors (who's names I can't recall) that starred in the remake a few years ago.

Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges....Both movies were great adaptations.  

RIP Glen, I just watched him play Classical Gas on YouTube the other night.  Incredible guitarist.

All the "biggies" are croaking, and not a whole lot of real legends replacing them. Glen and so many others will be missed.

I've been reading some stuff about his later years dealing with Alzheimer's. He continued to play, record, and perform in public. He often didn't recognize the family and friends around him, but he never forgot the chords and the words to the songs when he was on stage or in the studio. That's just heartbreaking on many levels. It's a nasty disease.
