    Right after "...Phoenix" was released, Glen was on a tour with Red Foley and Lynn Anderson when he came to Salt LakeCity. After the show I went with Glen and his band to a local nightclub, where Glen jumped up on the stage and joined in with the house band. After that, we all went to an all-night coffee shop where we sat and talked until I had to leave at 5:30 AM to do my radio show. Glen was telling stories and jokes the whole time. It remains one of my most cherished memories

    As a child in 1969. I faithfully watched "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" I enjoyed so much watching and hearing Glen sing and play Guitar.
    I wanted to be on his show. I wanted to sing and play Guitar with Glen. So, my Dad bought me and my kid Brother a cheap Acoustic Guitar. He said if you stick with the instrument, I'll get you a better one. So I taught myself to play guitar, and started to write my own songs .
    I was 13yrs. old. By the time I got pretty good, Glen's show was cancelled. But I did play in several bands through out the 70's & 80's..
    I really enjoyed myself. But I never got to play with the greatest Singer/Guitarist Mr. Glen Campbell. 🎸🎵🤗

      Same here. I took minor guitar lessons in elementary but I ran to my parents room, sat on the carpeted floor and waited every sunday to hear Glenn and see him play. He played a lot with a guy with long dark hair . Forget his name. Had a real crush on him and was sad in the 80’s when the tabloids started with him and Tanya. I did lose interest in his music in the 70’s but find myself so happy listening to him now at 67 and remembering a different time.

    My dad loved Glen Campbell, and my dad could sing just like Glen. My dad sang in his church choir but never had any musical training lessons. I guess it just came to him naturally. Of all things, my dad's career choice was to be a professional firefighter for the city we live in, in Pennsylvania. My dad recently passed on, and hearing Glenn Campbell's voice reminds me of my dad singing to my mom in the kitchen whenever their favorite songs would play on the kitchen radio. Ironically when dad passed away, I found him, laying on his couch, looking so peaceful. Nearby was his radio turned on and playing to his favorite Country Music station. RIP mom and dad, thank you for being with me and your four other sons for 60+ years...

    The strings,french horns,flutes,Glens amazing range with his voice,the arrangement,and oh yeah Jimmy Webb wrote it,and Glen's version of Jimmy's song "In Cars"....But hearing Glens voice and the lyrics always make me misty eyed..And a honorable "Beach Boy"..My gratitude and love for writers and performers who made those songs classics..

    My gosh, this song -- and this performance -- reduces me to absolute mush. Glen Campbell is pure genius, his voice effortlessly produces the purest beauty. And the song itself... written by Jimmy Webb... what was going through his mind when he composed the music and lyrics? What is the source of the inspiration that can move another person to compose poetry and music which, when combined, brings the rest of us to tears? And are the tears the result of the voice that sings the words and makes the music, or are they the result of knowledge that something so simple yet so incredibly powerful was created by another mortal? Campbell and Webb surely will live on. Thank you to both.

      30 plus years a college English teacher in Japan here ... and I agree with Wilshire and Pak ... your questions and sentiments reflect my own.
      About the only observation I can add to the discussion is this: It seems to me, that out of the darkest despair and sadness, arises the most noble and beautiful art. To me, that is the crucial difference between mere entertainment / whimsical diversion ... and great art.
      And though I am more of a jazz fan myself, this combination of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell is about as close to the sublime as I dare approach. Any closer, and I would be forever blinded by the light.
      Well spoken, David.

I still have one of his original vinyl albums that I used to play all the time. Campbell's version of John Hartford's, Gentle on My Mind, is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music regardless of the genre. It is one of the finest songs ever written. This one comes really close.
