My wife and I were fortunate to see Glen on his "Goodbye Tour" in Santa Barbara in 2014, the first and only time we saw him in person. He was promoting a new album, and the new music wasn't quite as familiar to him and he lost focus in his stories on occasion. But ,,, the music, the old hits, were so dynamic, so familiar. He had muscle memory playing the guitar, which was remarkable that he was able to perform nearly flawlessly. We will always treasure that experience, he was so talented and his family was so brave and supportive of his final tour for allowing him to show his great love of music and share it with an adoring audience one more time. RIP sir, you were one of a kind.
I discovered Glen when I was 8 years old in 1970 and have loved his music ever since. There were two shows on our television at that time that I never missed one was Johnny cash and the other Glen campbell.
I have always loved Glen Campbell. He, I believe is the finest guitar player ever. His songs are timeless. The 1970's belong to Glen Campbell and John Denver. God bless them both.
My mom loved Glenn Campbell , first because he was born in Arkansas ( because my mom was born there too ) and she loved his songs. I love his songs too.
Thank you for posting this biography about Glen. Yet another special that I had never seen. It's nice to see so many of his fans continuing to show support of him and his wonderful talent. I know we are all thinking of him on his 80th birthday today. Best wishes, Glen!
Vince Gill said it best! After all Glenn didnt do anything any of the other artists did back then...actually he was more calm than a whole lot of them back then! RIP Glen Campbell and thank you for the music and memories of the best times of my life! ❤
Yeah, Glenn was just our kinda people!! Both sides of my family loved Glenn,, CHEROKEE/ENGLISH/IRISH,, that shows his appeal. He just said something with his music that ALL liked to hear. Glenn was one of a kind,,AND SUCH A TALENTED GUITARISTS!!
He helped our culture evolve. Stirring our melting pot of so many peoples and their music. My family has the Scott's music talent and I didn't even know it was a talent. I thought it was a curse reading music is like reading a book and not understanding plot, I finally told my band instructor I needed to hear a song to play it well. I'm just a minor talent, Glenn became a major talent to say the least. Glenn wasn't handicapped that way, like other greats, Atkins and Clark come to mind. I first heard him playing the astounding twelve string, didn't know he was a Beach Boy.
Really enjoyed watching this, great to see Glen's life story. Thanks so much for posting. Thinking of him frequently and hoping he feels loved and has his happy times, going through a hard disease. Wishing him well.
I loved this man and his incredible talent so much. I just hate that he put himself into such a mess that he went "through hell and back" according to him. So many wasted years. So much heartache and dysfunction. On the flip side, I'm so profoundly grateful that he made his way back to the Lord. I look forward to seeing (and hearing) him again in eternity.
No doubt about it, Glen truly was blessed. The Lord was always there to hold him up. I could only pray to have his faith and blessings. Miss you, Glen, RIP.
Thank you Glen Campbell Forums for posting this video. It was good relive old memories. I fell "in love" w/Glen in 1967 when he was on the Smothers Brothers show. (I was in 7th & 8th grade back then!). I never lost interest in Glen after that. I think I still have some of his records, although they're unplayable now. (You know how it is w/downsizing.). But I enjoyed all his songs. I supported him through his down times w/wrecked marriages, drugs & alcohol. I'd write him encouraging fan letters & told him I was praying for him. I thank God that He used Kim to eventually deliver Glen from alcohol & cocaine. My best memories of Glen & Debby performing were in the late '80s/'90s at casinos like the Showboat & Trump Plaza in New Jersey, in New Bedford, the Goodtime Hour Revisited tour w/Nicolette Larson, & especially @ Harrahs in Reno & the Grand Palace in Branson. I miss Glen Campbell. RIP Glen! But @ least his music is still on RUclips! I continue to follow Debby Campbell & her music. I also follow Ashley Campbell. They both deserve success in the music business! My prayers are w/all the Campbells that they are living in peace w/each other & they all have good health!
Glen was one of the best singers of all time. He was successful because he never gave up. He always worked very hard to improve his music and singing skills. Here in Arkansas we are very proud of Glen.
Thank you Glen for teaching me how to sing. And you were a great witness to the world on what not to do and most assuredly what to do, and that’s allow Jesus to save you . RIP Glen Campbell .
I had the great pleasure of having his daughter do ride alongside doing her EMT training on my ambulance and seeing his grave site and talking to his brother. I also took his uncle unfortunately to the hospital.
I wish he would have given his first kids the time and attention, and love that he has given to his kids from his fourth wife. When he died, he didn't leave any of his 50 million dollars to his first kids. Which to me is sad and unfair. Still love his music.
If a father dosent leave money to his kids it means he's a cunt also even if a father dosent leave money to his kids the kids will get his money if they go to court because kids are entitled to there parents fortune so his first kids who didn't get left anything could easily go to court and get there dads inheritance I eod if tht was me fiijng right I would
I don't know whether Kim wrote his kids out of his will or not. Glen's Alzheimer's may have played a part. I'm not sure whether Glen really knew his wife was putting him in a memory facility. But I will say this: God used Kim & the power of corporate prayer (that's in the Bible) through church, through Glen's fans who were praying, & various other ministries to save & deliver Glen from alcohol & cocaine. For that, I'm grateful to Kim & thank God for her. I pray for Kim & her family that they will all have success in the music business. I pray that Debby continues her music career! As for how much money everyone got, that's none of my business. I just pray the entire Campbell family has resolved all these issues & they can all live in peace w/each other. God bless all of you!
Glen Campbell is, without a doubt, is the greatest country singer and Jimmy Webb was his excellent partner. I still love listening to him….fantastic musician on so many instruments.
I've always enjoyed Glen Campbell's music . I happened to visit Ireland a few years back and picked up some information on my ancestors from Ireland/ Scotland ( Campbell ) -- I realized that Glen Campbell's name is on the list .. interesting
Glenn was certainly a prodigy as a guitarist and singer. I watched him sing, gentle on my mind on RUclips. It was something hosted by Ralph Emery welcome back to the American rancher I think. There were 15 or 20 legends in a real kind of laid-back environment. Willie, Waylon, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark we’re just some of the great pickers there. Glenn gets about halfway through the song and just starts ripping on that guitar. When you see the impressed looks of these masters that really showcases his talents. He almost seemed embarrassed that he was so good. I’d be a happy man if I had 5% of his talent. And he just seemed like a real nice guy. RIP Glenn. And thank you for your help on the research being done to hopefully eradicate that horrible disease.
A few memories will make me smile. One of them is: "Hi! I'm Glen Campbell." I thank him for that. Where are all the places Glen and Kim lived together?
The stories Glen's Brother & Sister Tell are Priceless. As David Allan Coe said..."If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass" Coming up a poor Georgia Farm Boy myself, I say that with great affection & respect. Glen was, is & will always be A National Treasure
Elvis was just like dynamite in a small box and exploded on stage and the audience girls and boys were screaming. I ask friend what was it like at the Elvis show and he said everyone was screaming and I said what did you do and he said I screamed too lol hahaha.
When Glen Campbell came to Brisbane Australia in the 1970s ,our Ranch /trail riding business .Supplied the horses for the parade to promote his performance. We offered a r veliable but showey horse horse to ride .He declined and chose a open topped car Wise Man 😆 He must have heard about some Ozzies that think it's funny to say."Shell be right mate And saddle up a bucking Ɓronco . Had a bit of a chat with him about horses and horseshoes and saddles . Seemed like a nice Bloke . Gave me tickets to his show for the Riders. Until I watched this story I didn't even realise, I shook hands with a legend .❤😂🎉
I loved him, watched the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour with my family, and followed all his songs my entire life! I had the biggest crush on him until I saw him in True Grit. John Wayne movies were sexist.
I always love the stories of great artists coming from a meager existence. Glenn is one of the greatest American artists to ever record. The one thing I can't stand about male celebrities who have gone through divorces is when they take digs at their exes when being interviewed. Not a manly attribute. I love a double CD I have of Glenn and Jimmy Webb doing mostly songs Webb wrote that weren't hits. Fabulous listening....
To think that to this day many of our "leaders" take the C train every day. I remember how it was back then. I fact I can tell you this internet was developed by coke heads. Even to day, hyper stimulated people are writing code. Today it's crystal meth and they burn out quickly. The best stimulant is caffeine and that makes the world spin. Some of the best music also was created while hyped on barbiturates. Elvis & Cash come to mind.
So let me get this straight......this is a biography of a singer/songwriter thats had the music censored out of it???? Yeah, I'm gone and i dont recommend this video, not at all, its ridiculous 😮
RIP Mr. Campbell, thanks for all the great music....

This make me cry !!!!! I loved glen so much. Best guitar player IN THE WORLD !!!!!
I have always loved Glen Campbell. He, I believe is the finest guitar player ever. His songs are timeless. The 1970's belong to Glen Campbell and John Denver. God bless them both.
Absolutely agree. Very underrated guitar player. He could out play anyone in my opinion.
He was considered a virtuoso!
My mom loved Glenn Campbell , first because he was born in Arkansas ( because my mom was born there too ) and she loved his songs. I love his songs too.

Loved his beautiful songs... just didn't appreciate how great a guitarist he was. Absolutely one of the BEST!!! 💯💯🙏

Incredible that he died with only 450K. He worked so hard and was amazing and a big part of my childhood.

I still listen to Glen many times a week. So talented. Im so glad to know he's in Heaven singing praises to the Lord!
Never forget who you are & where you come from

Yes, I must agree with you here... Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell in Wichita Lineman was just pure perfection!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
God Bless Glen Campbell...you will live forever.

His wife made sure they got absolutely nothing
@@brendarawlins9417 There must be a reason.

@@melissakonrad9038they were part of a Messianic church. I found that interesting. Unless they left there after the Larry King interview.

A Master Guitar Player that could also Sing Masterfully, History in the Making...
He’s like fine wine
Wine has nothing to do with it stupid bitch
What's your problem?
Glen was a great singer.
Another neighbor in Arizona, along with Alice cooper his golfing buddy, and guitarist George Benson
Love this
America loves Glen Campbell
He was a great singer song writer. He had a big heart. He was a human being 💜

I love these bio's but you need to work on the audio
He was the Rinestone Cowboy 💜💜💜💜💜
Glen Campbell got the love of the bible belt, as he beat Tanya Tucker all the time.
many songs are muted out for some reason. just all the sudden dead-air in many parts of this documentary.
12 step programs helped me, a a and Alanon
He was the seventh son. Not the 8th.
14 minutes of commercials gone.
My favorite glen Campbell song will be witchita lineman.

Terrible sound. Going in + out throughout.
+Nina Scarpa Agreed on the audio. Specific copyrighted song tracks had to be removed on behalf of the copyright owners. -D.
Don't watch this, they cut out the music.
Glen couldn’t read music so he read their lips hahaha.
I think is was his daughter Kelly
Debbie.
The Michael Jackson of county music.
So let me get this straight......this is a biography of a singer/songwriter thats had the music censored out of it???? Yeah, I'm gone and i dont recommend this video, not at all, its ridiculous 😮
Y5 y7
Meathead thinks Glenns looks hurt him, probably the dumbest statement uttered.
Chauvinist
Yeah, probably the best thing a real man can be😮
