I remember at college, when I was lonely, with no friends to talk to, Glen became a "good friend," someone I could listen to fulfilled that void in my life! He touch my heart till Jesus came into my life!! Gary Cobler
Just be nice to one that may beginning not to understand things as quickly as before. I had to put my brother in a memory care unit 18 months ago, and I regret fussing at him a couple of years ago because I just didn’t understand what was happening to him. Be kind to everyone. They too may be going on that journey of not knowing what’s happening.
I am so glad that you would share this hometown tribute to the man. He lived in my hometown for many years, Phoenix, but to see how loved he was by the place he began really has touched my heart. All my thanks, love and prayers to you, markmo2k, for potting this tribute out here for the rest of us to experience!
It pains me that he had to have this awful, horrible, confounding disease. My mother passed from complications due to Alzheimer's, and believe me, it is NOT their passing that is sad. I am so very sorry for his family having to watch this brilliant, vibrant, good and kind man turning into the person that Alzheimer's saw fit to leave them with.
Unless you play guitar you wouldn't really know how good he was. I miss him. I 've seen Elvis ,Beach Boys, Cash, Elton, Allmans and many more but would have traded ALL of those show for ONE Glen show. If the kids ever come to Long Island I'll be first on line.
Very fitting him singing "Adios..."written by the man who wrote more hits for him than any other, Jimmy Layne Webb. In fact Glen recorded more songs by Jimmy thank any other..180!!!
I watched True Grit recently and have seen it several times. This last time I concentrated on Glens performance. For a music talent he really pulled off the acting part up against John Wayne and Kim Darby. He did a great job of acting.. not easy to do.
My father was always playing Glens music here in the UK when I was young and singng his songs he had a good voice, used to sing me to sleep with Gentle on My mind and others we lost him to Alzheimers like his great hero Glen Campbell. He always hoped one day to get to the states to see him play live - sadly not. Now Dad you may get to meet the great man when he walks into paradise with his guitar and brings his light as he did here RIP Glen - a truly GREAT man and musician. God Bless.
@stefannils2032 Okay, you are an atheist. We got that. But it is well documented that Glen was a committed Christian and he was proud to say it. If you don't like that that is your problem along with your friends at the ACLU. Freedom if speech and religion are cornerstone rights of being an American.
I was a sweet 16 year old boy when Glen seemed to be at his greatest, then there was also another man that shone in the same bright star, his name was Mr Neil Diamond, strange how two men could sing and have no equals, I should have been listening to BubbleGum music, but talent always wins out, hey Elvis and Mr Johnny Cash. RIP to y'all.
As much as was said in this story, it doesn't begin to shed light on Glen Campbell's enormous talent. As Merle Haggard once said, "If ever the Good Lord gave one person too much talent, it was Glen Campbell!" Amen!
I can only wonder what must have gone thru Glen's mind when he realized that he could find and play the same sounds on his guitar that he had heard from any source. In my mind, it didn't matter whether it was something that his touring uncle may have shown him (and kudos to him as well) or something that he may have heard on a record or on the radio. That kind of " trade competence" knowledge and inspiration about its implications and possible career success, must have been empowering for Glen. And then, I can only wonder what must have gone thru Glen's mind when he realized that he could possibly be one of the best pop-singers of all time. Not only because of his voice's tonal quality and pitch range, but also because of his first composer choice: Jimmy Webb
Met him on a golf course and asked him if a country boy (me) could get a picture with him. He laughed and asked what country I was from. I told him I was from a small town east of Pittsburgh. He said you and Joe Nameth and I said Joe was a city .boy. I was from in the mountains and had one leg shorter than the other to walk around the mountain. Got a laugh from him. Got a picture with him I still cherish. Best I ever heard on playing a stringed instrument. My dad was like him in that he picked up any string instrument and played it. Great guy and great Instrumentalist.
Such a beautiful tribute! I still love his music and his sweet, loving family.

Huh? Is that you, Gooby, or is that my special thang?Sooo, are you saying that you and Glen did the Nasty?Just cause Glen filled your Void......
Beautiful, touching tribute to an Arkansas son and national treasure. We enjoyed his immense talent for decades.
Adiós, you beautiful man. You were the delight of my youth, I'll never forget you🙏🏼❤️😍💐❤️💝
Would you have thought him so 'beautiful' had you met him during one of his countless cocaine and booze fueled tirades?
Brother and sister that was beautiful
WOW😢HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST❤️
will love and miss you always glen may you keep singing up in the big sky
So far for me, it's been very difficult to remember Glen without a tear. Such a talent, such a personality.
Surely one of the greatest!
What a man!
I loved him
Glen Campbell was my idol & every song he played was sweet & beautiful. If it were not for Jimmy Webb we would never have a "GLEN CAMPBELL".
We would have had Glen Campbell, we just wouldn't have had so many great songs. He was still a fabulous talent in his own right.
He was a class act!
What a great memorial piece. Wish more people could see this !
I never realized until he passed that he and Alice Cooper were great friends and golfed together often in Phoenix.
Absolutely no doubt it was "Divine Hands". Glen was blessed and I am thankful to our Lord Jesua for His placing of Glen before us! Miss you Glen!
Glen Campbell was so loved and he is surely singing in Heaven now!!! 🤗💕
Folks, One of the Top Five Best Guitar Pickers in the World--Great Man and Entertainer--Glen Campbell--VIP...
He was a great picker for sure one of the very very best
Wonderful tribute to a true mega-star.
Rest In Peace My Close Friends Glen Campbell
I pray that I nor anyone I love ever develops Alzheimer’s . It just robs everyone.

RIP...an iconic music legend, God Bless him.

Glen and Jimmy produced some great songs I put Lineman in my top 10
Top 5
I think he was a good man.
He was so handsome...especially in the 60s
Unless you play guitar you wouldn't really know how good he was. I miss him. I 've seen Elvis ,Beach Boys, Cash, Elton, Allmans and many more but would have traded ALL of those show for ONE Glen show. If the kids ever come to Long Island I'll be first on line.
TRIBUT to GLEN CAMPBELL 1936 😂😂 2017 😃😃😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Espiritismo Kardecista ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇦🇷
He had a rare combination. He was as good behind the camera as he was in front of it. He was one of the best studio guitarists ever
My musical hero. I wanted to pick like him. I've been playing for 20 years and am still waiting to pick like Glenn. Rest in Peace Cowboy.
Maybe there wasn't room for 2 Glen Campbell's at that time and now it's YOUR time to shine? Hope you can fulfill your dream, good luck!!!
If you haven't watched any of the videos of him playing the William Tell Overture, do so. I sit in awe every time.
Me too awesome picker
What a wonderful handsome man
Nobody ever did Wichita Lineman the way Glenn did. It still choked me up
Fully agree!
Very fitting him singing "Adios..."written by the man who wrote more hits for him than any other, Jimmy Layne Webb. In fact Glen recorded more songs by Jimmy thank any other..180!!!
A fitting tribute to a very special and beloved native son. May he rest in peace 🎸

He may be a famous country singer but the most important thing is he is a believer of Christ.Such a humble man
No it's important to you religion is a personal thing keep it to yourself

My hero and influence! Love him! R.I.P
I love his music great singer Rip Friend
Glen was an unstoppable force from 1960-1990. He had numerous top five and number one hits between then.
Great singer glen campbell, legend may he rest in peace.
Everytime Rhinestone Cowboy still plays it's a reminder of Glen Cambell.
What are the best country music stars Glen Campbell I love him I love his songs it touches our hearts really good God bless you Glen Campbell

May you rest in Peace Glen Campbell!
All American Hero... Gone but never far away.
A lovely tribute. Thank you.
Just chokes me up. What a gift to those of us able to grow up listening to Glen.
I was a sweet 16 year old boy when Glen seemed to be at his greatest, then there was also another man that shone in the same bright star, his name was Mr Neil Diamond, strange how two men could sing and have no equals, I should have been listening to BubbleGum music, but talent always wins out, hey Elvis and Mr Johnny Cash.

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful man.
Loved Glen. Rest in peace. Regards from Nova Scotia.
rip glen a true gent

He wrote some fantastic songs and he had a beautiful pitch perfect voice. R.I.P 🎸
I think rick shroder would play him good in a movie R.I.P glen campbell.
Glen was a wonderful soul. He’s at home with the Father. Amen 🙏🏾
I always loved watching the Glen Campbell show with my family. We had great memories and times along with our neighbors! RIP GLEN!
Listen to the quality and power of his voice at 5:30...
Greatest guitar player ever!!!! Music world is not the same without you!!!
Amazing man.
Very well done! RIP Glen.
In 2008 I meet Glen in LA, what a friendly Arkansan he was.
Vemodig vakkert!
and the gold digger took it all away from his children
Adios, breaks my heart. RIP ❤
a legend in his time
A true legend😢
His passing seriously bothered me
He was the best! I was fortunate to meet him and shake his hand....
A very wonderful tribute to Glen Campbell! Well written, well edited great voice track. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
R.I.P glen, you're missed😢
Merle Haggard said that if God ever gave one man too much talent, it would be Glen Campbell.
Linda Ronstadt also did Aidios.
God gived him a gift and he used it
A great artisti and a great man .
What am awesome man. May his soul rest in peace always.
Awesome AX MAN one of the top 5
