08 Aug 17 - 05:36 PM (#3870627) Subject: RE: Obit: Glen Campbell - legend (1936-2017) From: Joe Offer Here's his final album, Adios (click). It was recorded during his final studio sessions in 1012-13, and released in June, 2017. His final stage performance was November 30, 2012, in Napa, California - not a particularly auspicious venue. I can't say I always liked his music, but I think he put his heart into what he did. May he rest in peace. -Joe- |

I remember his TV program, "The Glen Campbell Hour" and so many great country songs. My favorite, "Wichita Line Man" and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix." I remember him playing for short time with The Beach Boys too. So many of your fans world wide will miss you and the tremendous talented artist you were. |

Fontana) with him playing guitar. Didn't always appreciate the country music but his guitar playing was excellent and what a smooth voice. Still, he had a good, long, prosperous life reaching higher than many of us could never even dream of. |

When he recorded the song Galveston, the words were apparently changed from; Wonder if she could forget me I'd go home if they would let me Put down this gun And go to Galveston to; I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun And dream of Galveston |

Here is a man that truly a musician in every sense of the word. A great singer, entertainer and instrumentalist. Apart from his own work he also backed many greats as part of The Wrecking Crew, a crack group of studio musicians in Los Angeles. The scores of his own recordings will speak for themselves. A fitting legacy. |

03 Feb 23 - 07:14 PM (#4164350) Subject: RE: Obit: Glen Campbell - legend (1936-2017) From: GUEST,Nick Dow I loved his voice. The range on Rhinestone Cowboy proves just how good a singer he was. His guitar playing could be magnificent when he wanted to and his repertoire was broad and included some well-known Folk songs. i.e. Bradley Kincaid's version of Barbara Allen. He had stage charisma and professionalism that made him a joy to watch. I do not think we saw all he was capable of performing. He had a great ear for good songs and certainly helped to put Jimmy Webb's songs out to a wider public. I would love to have heard him in concert on his own with an acoustic guitar. I am a great believer that performance skills transcend musical mediums, and a good singer and performer will always inspire others, what so ever the song. |

Leon Jerry “Jack” Guthrie's 1940s version were The Oklahomans; all better known than their front man who didn't actually have a band to call his own. Producer/bassist Cliffie Stone was the former music director at KFVD when & where the Jack & Woody act caught their first big break. Haggard's lot were billed as The Strangers. The roll call hangs down to your shins. |
