- Glen Campbell's legacy and music is known and beloved worldwide.
He was a kind and loving person who cherished each of his eight children.
I would like my father's loving memory to be an inspiration to the world.
Setting the record straight, honoring his name, is important to me.
Thank you for watching.
~ Travis Campbell
Happy to support correcting unfairness. Glen Campbell's kind character and his incredible talent we have all enjoyed for decades, deserve to be defended.
Thank you Travis, you and Trudy are the only ones speaking out against this monstrosity of a book, to bring out all the dirt when your Dad is not here to defend himself, so very, very wrong. God love you both and thank you Sheryl for getting this put together, way too cool. --Mary Ann
Thank you! We appreciate the support for dad's legacy.
I agree with Travis Campbell 100%…there was no need to reveal embarrassing things. He was a magical entertainer all his life. I miss knowing that he is no longer in this world.
I believe we'll just remember Glen Campbell as a wonderful singer and wonderful guitar player
I'll remember him for beating Tanya Tucker.
Loved to hear your Dad play the bag pipes and play Amazing Grace
Travis, I respect you so much for speaking up about this book, in honor and love for your Dad!! 🌹
God bless you!!
" Everyday Housewife". I haven't thought of that song in a very long time, but I love it! I miss those days!!!!
Great song.
Thank you so much Travis for speaking out on this book that wife#4 wrote in such a disgracefull way. Your Dad's fans love your Dad and know he was a amazing loving talented kind man and amazing entertainer. Much love to you and all your family. This book should have never been written. God bless Travis❤💜🙏🌹🌻
HOLD ON! I've READ Glen Campbell's own TELL-ALL book and I can't imagine his wife could dig up anything MORE salacious. GLEN told it all himself.
This was a really nice Interview. I love how Travis shares his heart, is genuinely open and really maintains the positivity of his Fathers' legacy. Rhinestone Cowboy for us over here, a favorite.
This book should not have been written with all the alleged bathroom accidents, alleged wild tirades and a notorious gun incident ,. Dirty laundry in a marriage, if true should not be revealed, and if the incidents are creatively Constructed for maximum shock effect , the only purpose for such dissemination is another vehicle to make money for its author.. she certainly cannot claim the high road of protecting Glen’s dignity with such revelations. It is curious that she was able to quote people verbatim, the conversations that are almost 40 years old.. in my opinion , I think Glen would be mortified by some of the stuff that she has revealed. Thank you, Travis for defending your father’s honor and integrity. We will always love and appreciate this vastly talented man who continues to bring joy to all his fans.
She has shown the world that she has no class, no grace. A shame that this is how she will be remembered.
I agree!
No one needs their skeletons to be out in public or for Pete's same..a book
It meant a lot to me to get to see Glen when he performed in Houston. He still seemed to be doing pretty well healthwise at the time. I cherish the cd he signed for me. His daughter Debbie took it to him to sign for me. I listened to Glen's music my whole life and to get to see him perform his music in person was great.
So sad. I am glad Glen's son spoke out. I went out on the golf course with Glen seven times over the years and rode around in the golf cart with him and once even brought along a pocket tape recorder to capture our conversation. He was a GREAT guy, down to earth, with no pretenses. He would even sing parts of songs to me, talk about recording sessions (and how he wasn't happy with them, as he was a perfectionist), etc. I saw him be unfailingly kind to strangers, and who can forget his sense of humor? One time I took what I regard as one of the greatest photos of him ever, and somehow lost it over the years. We talked about everything under the sun. Years later, when HIS book came out, I managed to reach him by phone in his hotel room while he was on tour promoting it, and taped an interview with him for a big magazine article cover story. He remembered me from years earlier. His first question to me was whether or not I was "saved." We talked religion a bit. My own dear Mother had Alzheimer's the last 9-1/2 years of her life, and I took care of her in my home. I realize AZ can change a person and I suspect the orneriness that Kim may have experienced from Glen occurred when he was not himself. I am glad she talked about this horrible disease, but if she -- as his son says -- manipulated him to do 150 farewell concerts when he only wanted to do 12, then that was very bad of her. God bless Glen...a humble but immensely talented singer, guitarist and all-around nice guy. Seeing him sing duets with his parents on his TV show tells you what kind of man he was. BTW, BLOCKING GLEN'S OWN CHILDREN FROM SEEING THEIR DAD WHEN HE GOT SICK WAS REPREHENSIBLE AND NOT INFORMING THEM OF HIS STATE OF HEALTH WAS AS WELL. I am glad they took legal action against Kim.
Great that Glen's son is speaking up.
Wow his son is so well spoken! His voice is so awesome he should be in broadcasting ❤
Well done Travis! I'm a life long fan of your Dad and now of you too!
Aww❤ that was sweet and I agree his son is such a well spoken person! I like him ❤
It doesn’t appear to be a love story by any stretch of the imagination! Not the kind of crap you would share about someone you love. Very hurtful for his children.
The book will eventually find itself in Thrift Stores/Charity Shops all over the world. The records and songs will be played for decades to come, and thats how he will be remembered, always.
Haven't read the book, but Glen was very honest about his struggles in his own memoir. I would refer people to that book anyway.
She is controlling, manipulative and kept has kept his older children from him. She also interfered in his trust for his older children financially.
One song If you go away he sang brought back old memories today I cried all the way through it. He was a angel no doubt. After today I never knew I loved him so much. I don't think we'll be blessed by anyone like him again anytime soon. God bless us all. He does sometimes we may just have to wait and look at times.
It was known everywhere the kindness of Glen Campbell. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and the persons turns into an entire different person. Alzheimers does not happen overnight, and Glen may have been showing the affects of the disease many years before it came out to the public. From what I heard on the media, the tell-all book is written for shock effect. Let Glen rest in peace and leave his legacy alone.
It is a real shame that unkind things, just plain dirt, have to be expressed in a book about a man who seemed so kind and gentle and certainly likeable! Sour grapes are hard to swallow, but negative things are best left UNSAID, especially in a bio-type book!
Celebrities are never perfect any more than any other human, but they often have pressures that the common public have no idea can exist. Their life sometimes is NOT easy. I can't blame Glen's son for wanting to defend his Dad.
Glad to see the family is still fighting.
Glen was human, like we all are. He had his faults, but he also embraced Jesus Christ as his redeemer. We don't need to hear about dirt, we all know about dirt. Glen was an awesome talent and one of my lifelong faves. Celebrate his life!
151 shows! That’s abuse. She loved the spotlight.
Happy to subscribe; Many Blessings🥰💖✝️
I read Kim's book and I have also read Glen's autobiography and Debby Campbell's book also. Glen himself talks about his issues with drugs and booze and Debby's book seemed to be just attacking Kim and Ashley and even Glen himself in a couple of chapters. Overall I enjoyed Kim's book because it was honest and covered the good times and the bad times. We all know the problems Alzheimer's causes, not just the memory loss but the paranoia. These things are hard to read, but I have been a fan for over 40 years and I don't think less of Glen after all I have read not just in books but all the news paper articles as well. I think for me Kim, made me realize although Glen was super talented he was still very insecure and this may have been the cause of Glen's original drinking problem and drugs of course. I don't think Kim intended to just show Glen in a bad light, the book was a story of their love and support for each other until Glen's passing
I always felt Kim pushed for the final tour. Sadly the tour went on a little too lang. At first Glen was OK, but some of the videos from the last couple of shows were very tough to watch.
Im afraid, to not allow Glen Campbell's children from previous marriages not allow them to visit their Father whilst in a home. I mean his wife has the decision to put him in a home, but not to phone the sons and daughters to let them know whats happening.
Plus, glen had a large home, she could have had a army of nurses to take care of him at home. And she could have got on with her life without even having to see him day by day at all. If she found it too painful.
If she did not get on with his sons and daughters , she did not have to deny access to their father, that is despicable, very uncaring.
Families fall out for sure, but they all knew he was dying, no doubt about it. Glen would have wanted to see his other children.
She wasnt thinking of glen, when she decided that.
And even though it was lovely to see Glen on his goodbye tour, i agree with his son , he should have been with his friends and family.
Seems the last buck to be made had to be squeezed out of him.
Not much makes me ashamed of humanity but this does😢
He loves all his kids and his wife. That was his pick.
Glen was one of the first to admit he had issues. Alcohol and cocaine are not friends. Tanya Tucker has a story about the dysfunction as well. You can ignore the truth or you can learn and help others.
I wouldn’t have nerve to admit that I found out about my father being put in a home through the media! What a great son. If he had been a good son he would have had a relationship with his father
Travis, the unfortunate trauma that unfolded becuase of the book and everything after the passing of your dad. I am sorry I wasnt there to support you through those moments. Its been a long time since we pledged in the same fraternity at the same school back in the 80s. I hope you and your entire family are doing well. Take care my brother, "City Walled."

I'm sure nothing was revealed in this book that Glen hadn't owned up to himself in many interviews. Bottom line he acknowledged his faults and was man enough to move on beyond them. Took strength, a strong belief in God and plenty of will power. I'm proud of him doing so. Many don't even try to mend their ways, but there is always time to accept God into your life. Just ask sincerely and He will hear your prayer for forgiveness & healing. Every good ending must have a beginning. Do it today!
Does this guy know what testimony means?
I've gone through both Kim's and Debbie's books; Debbie just seemed to hate Kim used the book to trash her. Whether we like it or not, Kim was who Glen chose to spend his life with. I do think she can be a bit pushy and controlling - that's something I see with a lot of musicians. They want someone to deal with the day to day stuff so they can just focus on music.
please buy the book to see what lies she has written and voiced on paper
Listen . . . Been through very similar issues with our family. This son didn't care about Glen for over 20 years (Glens wife confirms) until Travis learned Glen was dying from Alzheimers . . . Then sudden interest in his dad and Glens massive fortune he EARNED. This is all sour grapes. Glen left this Travis character out of the will purposely. Travis acts as if he cares about Glens legacy. Ya right. He is seeking revenge because he didn't receive any free money. VERY SIMPLE AND FACTUAL. Glen was right!!
His 4th wife may as well have urinated on Glen's grave.
He urinated on his own grave by having four wives.
How Glen could have spent over 30 years with that malicious HARPY just beggars belief. He was the most wonderful man and did not deserve that vicious book written about him.
I read the book. I also read Debby Campbells book. I think the truth lies somewhere in between. I believe that Glen was a tortured individual that was impacted by his austere upbringing in severe poverty. I don’t think he was ever able to truly connect with any of his wives or his children. They all appear to be somewhat broken as a result of being in Glens orbit of his past drug abuse, alcoholism and pursuit of a career in entertainment. In Glens book he wrote about an event with his father that followed him all his life, If you are severely poor to the extent that you can’t feed your children and you have to tell your youngest son to drown a bag full of kittens because you can’t afford to feed the mother cat, then for Gods sake quit having children. Likewise for Glen if he can’t stop traveling long enough to have a relationship with his children then for Gods sake stop having children. And even more important, quit being the woman in his life that enables him.
Obviously, this son loves his Dad very, very dearly. Nuff said. Were all human.
Glen Campbell cut out 3 of his children out of the well back in 2002. Glen's choice to cut out his 3 kids for a Reason.. Travis didn't see his dad for 20 years except one time. What a shit Peace son!😈
Kim's doing.
I wonder what efforts Glen made to initiate contact with Travis? Glen doesn’t seem to have played the role of a good father. NOW who is the piece of shit?
@@guitarman3968
My thoughts exactly.
He wasn't allowed see him, he had a controlling jealous wife, a rotten old bean
@@guitarman3968I agree. Who was the adult and father?? They should have tried to reconcile. On the other hand maybe efforts were made. Just sad.
I read that garbage book and was sorry I did. Glen's widow sure tried to make herself look like a martyr...at Glen's expense. 🤬
Travis your blood Kim isn't
Shame on her!!
Why did Kim put him in a home..couldn't she have taken care of Glenn...
She did so for years. I have gone through it with family members, and it becomes impossible
Boy looks nothing like Glen at all
Kim was just a gold digger
She is a Prima Donna! The documentary she acted like the star. It was disgusting! She drug it out for herself! She would like it to be just her and her children!
Travis ignored his dad for 25 years.
Gold digger?
