RIP Glen

Damn. :(

We used to watch his variety show on TV regularly when I was a kid, and my parents had a few of his records. Seems you couldn't turn a radio on with hearing one of his songs back in the late 60s / early 70s. He was a majorly talented musician and song interpreter.

RIP, Glen Campbell.

Such a sad loss, and such a great talent.

I grew up listening to the songs he did with Jimmy Webb. they are songs i return to time and time again, songs I will never tire of. Right now I am afraid to listen to them.

How sad, the death of a real star. R.I.P.      Willie

One of the legendary  players in 'the bizz'.
As a member of The Wrecking Crew... he was the guy who took Brian Wilson's place on tour, when Brian was no longer able to function in that capacity. And then later, teaming up with Jimmy Webb. All part of the best of our music's history...
Hats off and R.I.P.

One of the greats gone. I knew Glen Campbell was a good musician but never realized how good until I saw his television show where they would spotlight him on guitar...a fantastic player and entertainer...RIP

Such a great loss,
Rest Easy Glen.

One of those players when you know all the tunes, but don't necessarily know why.
Watched a few video's on youtube, he was an awesome guitarist!
RIP Glenn.

One of my all time heros, I wached a prog a few years ago covering his last ever concert tour, his illness was aready apparent at that time, I started watching thinking it would be a sad story, but for the most part he seemed so content and happy, in his world, and never happier than with a guitar in his hands.

The crowds, or me, never minded that he somtimes forgot the words, and his guitar duet of duelling banjos with his daughter Ashley will always be a classic for me.

I guess like most I'll be watching a lot of you tube videos over the next few days, always with the thought Glen Campbell is one for whom we can say his music will always live on

I remember seeing Glen on a talk show in the UK hosted by Michael Parkinson, round about the time that Rhinestone Cowboy was released. I wasn't playing guitar yet, but seeing him play some little bits & pieces as he was being interviewed was amazing... his fingers were like lightning. A fantastic musician and (from what everyone who met him says) a genuinely nice bloke. A sad loss, indeed.
