Singers in the 60’s didn’t just sing the song ,they performed and inhabited the songs.There was an emotional investment.
It’s why we’re still listening to those same songs today
Definitely “Galveston”! Check out “Wichita Lineman”, too.
All three of those are Jimmy Webb songs. He's something of a well kept secret, since his songs are virtually all hits for other artists. Jimmy and Glen Campbell had a particularly fruitful alliance...
For a song that will really hit you deep in the soul, check out “Wichita Lineman”, which was written by Jimmy Webb and sung by Glen Campbell. Campbell’s performance is so heart-rending, and the loneliness he conveys is so palpable. Others have recorded this song as well, but Glen Campbell’s version is the standard and he set the bar high.
I can't listen to Wichita Lineman without crying. Very wistful. Lush vocals.
@@kimmaedke2763 it has that effect on me, as well.
I am a lineman from the county, and I drive the main road
Jimmy Webb wrote this song and is one of the best songwriters ever
Glen was one of the finest guitar players ever !! He and Roy Clark were legends !!
Are*
Don't forget that voice. THAT VOICE.
Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb, one of the best singer and songwriter pairings in music history! And Glen's voice is smooth like honey!
Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell are the greatest writer/muse relationship in all of art.
The magic of the 2 minute song. It makes you want to hear it over and over!
My Very Favorite of Glen's Songs! And You Are SO Right, Harri,....Way Too Short!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glen is also an incredible guitarist, one of the fastest players. Wichita Lineman is great. Galveston another great choice. RIP Mr. Campbell
Glen Campbell was a legend. Such talent.Sadkey we lost him a couple years ago to alzheimers.His last song was heartbreaking
In 1967 when this song came out, my parents were going through a divorce. This song and another one ("Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro) both sent my mom over the edge, and into sobs and weeping, every time they came on the radio. Very sad.
Goldsboro's "With Pen in Hand"
Still cry when I hear Honey
Hints of a song's era. She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call. Probably from a "pay phone". She'll just hear that phone keep on ringin', off the wall...." Land lines in the home often had a phone mounted on the wall. Usually in the kitchen. These things virtually don't exist today.
In that sense, I'm reminded of Jim Croce's "Operator". Or the image in the mind's eye of that cowboy calling home in George Strait's "Amarillo By Morning".
What lovely writing. You ought to pen liner notes (of course those, too, are something of an artifact of a past age!). Yes, these songs, or at least those lyrical details, are frozen in time now...
I'm wondering if you mean George Strait's "I Can Still Make Cheyenne"? I get your point either way.
Jimmy Webb, a songwriter from Oklahoma, wrote this song and many others that were hit songs for Glen Campbell. The person in the song is traveling east from California to Oklahoma down I-40. I am a native Oklahoman and have made that trip myself.
I LOVE Glen Campbell’s voice too! The song is beautiful. ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glen Campbell was an amazing singer and guitarist. I believe Frank Sinatra said that this was probably the most beautiful song he had heard. This song evokes memories of a bygone era❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jimmy Webb wrote so many good songs. Check his duet with Linda Rondstat titled “All I Know” it’s among the most beautiful songs ever written 😎
Ah, I'm not the only one suggesting Harri listen to that gem...good. Glorious, and of course ineffably sad, too, as it was Linda's last recording...Art Garfunkel recorded "All I Know" beautifully too, but the Webb/Ronstadt duet is truly stunning.
Campbell had his own variety show that ran from 1969 to 1972. He was also a member of the "Wrecking Crew" backup studio band in L.A. One of the main reasons that songs like this from the 60s were so short was to be able to accommodate the short time frames for song playing on the AM radio stations. There were just too many great songs to hear!
Glen was a member of the famous Wrecking Crew and played on over 600 songs. Sometimes he would record at 3 different studios in 1 day
The man had a talent to deliver a song in a way that you felt like you were a part of the story.
A real storyteller, wasn't he!
I got so excited when I saw that you were reacting to Glen Campbell. I have been such a huge fan since my teens and I am 65 yo now. He died of Alzheimers a few years ago but he allowed a film crew to film his final tour and the progression of the horrible disease. My mom died that way and it was heartbreaking. But his film brought so much attention to the disease and it was so brave of him. Please react to Wichita Lineman and Galveston. The songs are way too short but back then they had to be because AM radio wouldn't play them if they were longer. I loved when we moved the music to FM and put an end to time restrictions.
You might want to go back and listen to the lyrcis and you'll understand why the phone is ringing off the wall. The lyrics are so touching and Glen's voice....Wow!!
"Gentle On My Mind!" One of his best!
Written by the extraordinary John Hartford.
That was my Mom's favorite. I think of her when I hear it. She loved Glen Campbell.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Beautiful and soul wretching song from deep down 😇😇😇. 👌👌. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. RIP 😇😇😇
Glen Campbell's humble beginnings and his amazing connection with Jimmy Webb, became the soundtrack for a generation of music lovers who appreciated good orchestration and heartfelt lyrics. Thanks Harri, you always get it right on!
Remember when we had phones on the wall?! 😂 I guess I am revealing my age! Great song. Glen Campbell is also considered to be one of the “guitar greats”! He’s amazing 🌺✌️
I usually don't listen to country music, but Glen Campbell was an exception. Loved his songs.
Not only a great voice but one of the best guitar players ever. The first concert I ever took my kids to was Glen Campbell. He opened their eyes about talent and what it looked like.
It has a cool and smooth sound like the chrome and linoleum of a late-60s ranch-style house somewhere in air-conditioned suburbia.
Wichita Lineman is Excellent song, too😍😍😍 SAD, TOO😪😪😪
One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see mr Campbell sing live
I love these days and his acting and theme song for true grit
When he passed it was the ending of an era 😥
Everybody talks about Glenn’s prowess on guitar but damn what a voice !!!
Glen Campbell was a master at his craft and the production of this song was out of this world!
RIP dear Glen, your music is being discovered by younger generations now & totally appreciated by them!
Thanks Harri this was special 💎
PS I do love Isaac Hayes recording of the song as well ☮️
Your thinking of Burt Bacharach, he and Dionne Warwick made some of the most beautiful music ever, it melts my soul
Glen's "Try a Little Kindness" is outstanding...
This song came out when I was going through a breakup. Still gives me bittersweet memories. 😢❤️
Glen was one of the busiest session guitarists in Los Angeles in the ‘60s. Played with The Wrecking Crew and led to playing with The Beach Boys on tour. Jimmy Webb wrote this and some other hits for him and other artists for Johnny Rivers record label.
Jimmy Webb wrote McArthur Park for Richard Harris (Waylon Jennings & Donna Summer did hit covers later on). Check out The 5th Dimension for more Webb hits.
Glen Campbell was from a little town in Arkansas. He went to LA and became a top session guitarist, playing on sessions for Sinatra, Elvis, everyone; one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world. No one at first knew he could sing! He took Brian Wilson’s spot on the road with The Beach Boys for a while and had his own TV show back when there were only 3 or 4 channels. He also starred in the original “True Grit” and sang the theme song. He was amazing.
I believe at one point he was with the Beach Boys as a stand in. He was a studio player for many famous singers and was a master guitar player.
He was member of the wrecking crew. There is a doc on them on Prime fascinating
Self taught never learned to read music
I saw Glen in in person in 1964 replacing Brian Wilson playing bass and singing backup vocals with the Beach Boys. That show was at the Indian State Fair Colliseum. Imagine Glen Campbell singing backup vocals and playing bass!!!! They knew Glen from the Wreckinng Crew.
Was lucky enough to meet him at his house several times in the 90's. His wife was a very kind person too.
Harri, Harri, HARRI, When this song was written, phones ALWAYS kept "ringing off the wall". The alternative was a busy signal. No answering machines, no voice mail. No alternative. Played it in band. Gary, Gary, Gary
Great song sung by a Great Talent. I have to admit that I like the way Eddy Arnold sings this song. It seems every song Eddy Arnold sings is better than the person who first sang it first - I'm sure it made other people a little upset. Eddy Arnold just had an incredible tone - rich and pure! Love GC thought!
Glen was the singer I've listened too....more than any other
The strings, orchestral arrangement and production on this song is just stunning. This is also one of very few songs without a chorus.
i sent this to my girl friend a few years ago. i said it's not a hint. she called me in tears shortly after......
Glen Campbell was a superb guitarist, as well. He was a session guitarist, part of the "Wrecking Crew," and played guitar on songs by the Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, the Monkees...the list goes on. Jimmy Webb wrote lots of hit songs, my favorite being "Wichita Lineman," also sung by Glen Campbell. You should listen to that...it's such a sad, haunting song.
Diamonds in my ears. Love that expression!!!!!
Can't go wrong with Glenn Campbell. One of the greatest guitarists ever. Also singer/songwriter and actor. He is a legend.
that is called the Nashville Sound in the 60s and early 70s Country was produced like rock and classical and lots of artists in country got "overproduced" so to speak and that lead to the Outlaw Country scene who rebeled against the "Nashville Sound" Btw you need to do Gentle on my mind, Galveston, Houston and Witchita Lineman
yes loved ray price for the good times
Beautiful reaction. Beautiful voice. His guitar skills are amazing too.
Let's give credit to the songwriter, Jimmy Webb.
Gary Webb wrote all the songs with city names, 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Galveston" Witchita Lineman" etc. Glen was part of a group of LA studio musicians called "The Wrecking Crew" that played on literally THOUSANDS OF HITS in the 60's and 70's of every style!
You haven't heard a sad break up song until you've heard Diary by Bread. Walk On By was written by Bacharach & David.
Jim Webb wrote many great songs for Glen and Johnny Rivers. Another great break up song written by Jim is Do What You Gotta Do.
That voice is like velveti listen to his concert version when he was much older.. Regularly
As a young and upcoming artist, he was a regular The Jim Nabors Show and had a featured spot each week, sometimes singing and sometimos doing instrumentals. Gentle on my Mind was the song that made him a household name. Other hits were Rhinestone Cowboy, Thank God I’m A Country Boy, Try a Little Kindness, Galveston which came out during the Vietnam War was a soldier singing about dreaming of his hometown, Galveston, Texas. He speaks of the girl waiting for him and his fear of dying. Just rips your heart out.
Glen Campbell was a once in a lifetime talent & absolute legend on guitar. I saw him perform in Branson & even in his 70s...he brought the house down!! 🎸🤠
Another great song penned by the fantastic Jimmy Webb for Glen.
I love your respectful, thoughtful reactions. "By the time I get to Phoenix" was covered by many. Glen Campbell's version is one of my favorites. If you love this song you must listen to Isaac Hayes' cover (the studio version from the "Hot Buttered Soul" album). It's unique, all 18 minutes.
Another vote for Wichita Lineman, one of the best.
Carry On!
Before he became real famous, he appeared on "Shindig," a teen show that had every star, pre fame, that you could think of. Sonny and Cher, the Stones, etc. Glen
Campbell was one of them. He was pals with the Righteous Brothers, who were semi-regulars,
One of my favourite singers ,also a great guitarist,he was something else !
Hi Harri, I have listened to this song many many times over the years but I never really listen to what it is about. I mean all the lyrics are there to tell me but when he said she call him at lunch but the phone just keeps on ringinh, I burst into tears! I could feel her confusion and anxiety and the knowledge that something is gone (to me anyway)!
You can thank Jimmy Webb for those lyrics.
I played Piano/Vocal gigs over the years and had this song along with 4 or 5 others of Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb in my repetoire!! I always had surprised reactions with a 'tear in the eye' look! Beautiful!!!
Thank you for reacting to Glen Campbell… he was one of my favorite singers of all time! I remember my dad bringing home Glen’s Gentle On My Mind album when I was a little girl and playing it for the family… I became a fan for life! One of my favorite songs Glen Campbell sang was a song called “I’ll Paint You a Song” released in 1970. It was for a movie called “Norwood” that he starred in. The movie wasn’t great, but the song was and is beautiful! I love your channel! 😊
He got this tune from Johnny Rivers who gave him an acetate of his 1966 album "Changes",saying it sounded too similar to His "Poor Side Of Town".Glen's Orchestra Leader was Al De Lory Father of Donna De Lory Backing singer for Madonna's stage shows!
Love to hear Glen Campbell, love his guitaring and voice, so many good songs to choose from.
Harri Please check Glens song Rhine stone Cowboy From from 1975. Its one of the best FEEL GOOD SONGS EVEEEEER Enjoy Love the 70s ,,
Glen was very talented. Love his stuff. Wichita Lineman is my favorite.
"If You Go Away" off of Wichita Lineman is a super sad song! In my opinion one of the saddest songs ever!
Alice Cooper said Glen Campbell was the best guitar player he ever knew and he cried when he learned of Glens Alzheimer's diagnosis...they were neighbors and the best of friends...RIP Glen
beautiful loved it then and now!
jimmy webb is a genius
Wichita Lineman has one of the most wonderful lines of all songs..."I need you more than want you and I want you for all time"
Glen Campbell --- I wanna live.
Check out his final video/song. "I'm Not Gonna Miss You." a real heartbreaker from the Documentary of his last tour before Alzheimer's finally got him. It is a very touching Documentary and the song will hit your right in the Feels.
When i listen too music it's always the melody for me and this has one of the best just brings out emotion for me.
🇬🇧
You are probably thinking of Burt Bacharach? Thats a real orchestra. No synch-like fake strings.....Love it!
Hi harri When I was about 6yrs old I used to play this and "Galveston" and "Witchita lineman" on my little close and play (toy) record player..Glen used to have a TV show in the late 60's and I would always watch him play.Glen had a great voice was an incredible guitarist.Check him out and the above mentioned songs...Classics..
Glen Campbell was absolutely my favorite when I was a kid in the 70's. It's kind of funny, looking back at it, because I do NOT like anything modern country. My favorite album of his, I don't think was even his best selling. Bloodline. OMG. I played that album literally thousands of times. I knew every word and part, of each song, and I LOVED to sing along. I'm in my 50's now, and once in a while I will search for one of the Bloodline songs, and I am surprised I still remember every little word, even though I hadn't heard the songs in 30 years or more. lol. Glen Campbell was just so great. This was fun, thank you for making me think of him tonight.
You've done it now! You've opened up a new can of music worms now!
Without a doubt, Glen Campbell is the greatest Country Crossover
Artist in history. Glen was always a cut above, you will see Harri. You can
ask ANY ARTIST in country music, Who was the best of all time? They will say,
GLEN CAMPBELL. Glen had perfect pitch to the day he died, at 82 years old.
I absolutely LOVE "Galveston"! That 60s feel, beautiful!
Oh my I haven't heard this in forever. Love. So glad your listening to Glenn Campbell
No less an authority than FRANK SINATRA HIMSELF once called this "the greatest torch song ever" and he was not far wrong, imo.
Gorgeous and moving in the subtlest way .
Harri - this was written by Jimmy Webb. He and Glenn had several other songs together. One of the best is "Wichita Lineman." Mr. Webb writes very haunting songs, and Glenn is such a great underrated vocalist and guitar player.
Wichita Lineman and Gentle On My Mind! His voice is one of a kind for sure!
Listening to you is like diamonds in my ears!!
Had such a crush on him as a teen. Lol😂😂 This is my favorite song of his!
He was an incredible guitar player.
💙🎶My Mama drove me to the big city of Denver to hear him. Horrible disease took Glen too soon.💔💔💔
Great classics! I'm enjoying your reactions. Glen Campbell was part of a group, The Wrecking Crew, studio musicians that backed the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra and an entire catalog of popular artists. He had a super hit with "Gentle on My Mind", a great tune. See if yuh ou can find him doing a video with John Hartford, an incredible banjo, fiddle, mandolin player. Hartford was also a Mississippi River pilot. Glen was often not given the credit he deserves for his guitar playing! He became good friends with of all people Alice Cooper, a make up clad rocker. The two of them played golf all the time, and Alice noticed Glen's memory fading. Long story short, Glen developed Alzheimer's, and died a few years back...I'm sure someone will have told you by now.
One of dad's favorites, and oddly enough one of his best friends could have passed as Glen's twin
Did you know Glen Campbell was in the Beach Boys? Not as a full member, but he covered for Brian Wilson on tour around 1964/1965. Brian thanked him with the song "Guess I'm Dumb" - unfortunately the single failed to chart.
What a beautiful sad song about the absolute end of a relationship. Now.....a real shocker....check out the version that ISSAC HAYES recorded.‼️ Very long, very smooth, and then at the end it takes off... highly emotional with his own soulful spin on it. I can't even explain it. So much more love emotion back in the days❤️
Glenn Campbell was...and is...an American Treasure...performer, composer, singer...pure and true. Too short? Always leave me wanting more !
I love Glen so much.. he sings his songs with passion... like Elvis.. passion in the voice.. that's what makes an amazing artist. singer. ... I love Glen's voice and alwys have... so sad we've lost him
I've listen to this song for many many years, and it always hits a sad cord in my soul. He kept telling the lady he was leaving, and I guess tried to leave several times before. The sadness was when the woman realized he really did leave. It always touches me.
That's so cool that you 'got' this song! It's one song that is bound to get your emotions to arise! It's always had such a deep, penetrating effect on me. It brings out the heartbreaking sorrow of a relationship, as well as the highs of intimacy.
Glen Campbell never had a bad song, but my favourite is, Honey come back...
The "band" was The Wrecking Crew"--Studio musicians in L.A. who performed on virtually EVERY hit record in the 60's.
Glen was sessions musician...part of the wreckin crew...a consumate artist...Ty brotha
Glen campbell played for Sinatra Elvis and many more Was in.the beach boys too also part of the wrecking crew number of hits played on is fantastic
Gental on my mind is a great song by Glen Campbell.
The phone (only landlines back then) kept on ringing because he left her. He’s gone.
