This is a play list, some of his music:

I worked for Glen's brother, a time or two.
RIP Mr. Campbell.

Great. Now every time I hear "Wichita Lineman", I'm gonna tear up. Best ballad ever.
Got a little time?

For what it's worth, I like Wade Haye's version better.
Master guitar player and brilliant performer.
The documentary released a few years back about his Alzheimer's condition was very well done.
He was a Beachboy both for studio sessions and some tours.
He also did session work for Frank Sinatra and many others. The orchestration on his early hits catalog are Sinatra like.
His fame rose quickly by his collaborations with the songwriter, Jimmy Webb.
He was the face of wholesome American TV during the Vietnam War domestic turmoil.
His late 70s #1 hit of Southern Nights with New Orleans late great musician, composer, producer and gentleman Allen Toussaint was inspired to say the least.
Pops was a big Glen Campbell fan. I believe I still have all his vinyl LPs.
Pops' biggest story he would tell people about was meeting Glen in the restroom at the Truck Stop in Clines Corner NM in 1969. I had volunteered to drive Pops out to Victorville, CA to pick up Momma Cash who had been staying with my sister Sharon when her husband was stationed at Edwards. I think the story was that Glen was east bound headed for Arkansas as we were headed west.
I apparently was pumping gas when Pops' glorious moment occurred.
Based on the site of their meeting, I hope Pops didn't offer to shake Glen's hand.:blush::blush:
RIP
There was not much this country boy did not have the opportunity to be in the mix of.
My family would turn the channel to see and hear him when we knew he was on no matter what else was showing.
See ya real soon Glen.
