- From September 1971, Glen Campbell sings the Gordon Lightfoot hit "If You Could Read My Mind" on "The Glen Campbell Show" ("The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour"). This song is on Glen's 1971 album "The Last Time I Saw Her", available at finer retailers everywhere!
RIP Gordon Lightfoot -- Canadian through and through.... and RIP Glen Campbell who recognized a wonderful song.
Amen
One of the best songs ever written
by a Canadian Gordon Lightfoot.
THE best song ever written I reckon.
Very true Isaac.
Agreed 👍🇨🇦
Agreed
He sang the words and played the guitar but Gordon did it with emotion and depth of feeling really, he really felt the song. I doubt Gordon’s version will ever be bettered. RIP GL.
Glen Campbell's studio version is better than this one, as this is a little rushed. I agree though that Lightfoot's is the one.
I never knew that he sang my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song, great rendition!
Greatness (Glen Campbell) recognizes Greatness (Gordon Lightfoot). These two are playing this beautiful song together wherever they are. RIP.
Probably the most underated singer ever
Agreed
And incredible guitarist
Underrated? No.
Great? Of course.
Glen's voice dominated an era.
@@coachmitch7399He's absolutely fabulous, but sorry, he was never under rated! You had to be there, an absolute icon with a long string of massive hits and appearances on every TV show, variety show.. He was always very highly rated, crossed over genres etc
"Underrated" by whom? Not by me!
I'm a troglodyte!! I love Gordy and Glen Campbell's music and had no idea he did a rendition... Love it
It's from his album "The Last Time I Saw Her", the title track being another Gord composition.
Great performance. Glenn nails it every time 😊. But Gordon's is still my fave
Glen could sing the phone book and I'd love it. Rest In Peace Mr. Campbell.
I really appreciated the talent that Glen was, but if you want to really hear this song done as it was intended, find Gord LIghtfoot's version.... And if you want a real treat, find Johnny Cash's version of it... It was one of his last recordings, and was released posthumously... it's a treat, but no one does this like Gord Lightfoot.
i know what you're saying, d zajac, but this was no phone book. "If You Could Read My Mind," is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and as always, Glen did a superb job of singing Gordon Lightfoot's masterpiece.
Yepppppp
d zajac , yep and give him a piece of barbed wire a bucket and a broom handle he'd sound like an orchestra singing that phone book. We will not see Glen Campbell in my life..RIP GLEN !
GBNF Brother
He is no Gordie Lightfoot but yes very good !
Two legends Glenn and Gordon! Plus one of the most iconic songs ever written. The world was a better place because of them! R.I.P both of you …
Glen was a master vocalist & a guitarist of the highest order. He would often take songs like this but at a faster tempo...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This doesn't diminish this man's raw talent. RIP Glen ⚘
Here in Canada, Gordon Lightfoot was a god and few did justice to his songs.....Glen was one of the few who did. Glen and Gordon were always my favourite singers. We lost Gordon just a few months ago & while Glen has been gone for 6 years, it seems like yesterday when the news came that he'd passed. Two very sad days in my musical memories...RIP Glen & Gordon....You made your countries proud. ♥
Glen and Gordon...two of the greats of all time. Really miss them...the world was a better place when they were around. Classic and epic song...
This is the music that defines a person! Stories strung out to music with meaning! Think every parent should play this type of music for their kids when they are young as they will never hear clean music unless we do it when they’re young.
Glen and Gord. Two of my all time favorites.
Glen and Gordon -
It does not get any better than that-
2 Legends -
So handsome! It brings tears to my eyes to think how he ended up. Rest in peace, Mr. Campbell! This brings me back memories of my youth.❤️💐I always loved this song.
This is music,not the garbage they call music today.
Sheesh. Open your mind mate
“When you reach the part where the heartache come, the hero would be me” love this song!
I thought no one could do justice to this song like Lightfoot. But Campbell does a great job! Grew up with this music during '60's & '70's and you never know what you miss until it's gone! But I know you are in a better place with friends and family who love you like we do! Your music is your legacy! RIP
Very good cover of one of Gordon's best! RIP, Glen!
He was smart to start off by lowering his tenor voice because the song call for about a 1/2 octave jump and to stay there with no break for breathing .
If he started at his normal voice , he'd jump so high it might be annoying plus he can't break for air so if he doesn't breathe at the right spot he risks running out of air .
Gary wood : Thanks for the education but of all people Glen certainly doesn’t need a vocal lesson. He’s singing a beautiful song not doing an impersonation of Gordon Lightfoot.
Sure miss that 70s style the hair and suit I remember having hair like that as a kid back in 1975 sure miss the 70s
Such talent, now singing with the angles.
RIP Mr Campbell, you will sadly be missed.
I just heard I’m not going to miss you it brought a tear to my eyes 😢
Mr. Guitar . Singing was another Bonus .
What an immense talent he was.
Absolutely excellent rendition of Gordon Lightfoot's trademark song. If anybody could do a credible job other than Gordon Lightfoot himself, it's Glen Campbell, as usual!
RIP Gordon and Glen. Still hard to believe they are both gone. Two amazing talents that forever left their marks on the music world.
This version just made me get up and dance.
I listen to this to this song it brings back sad memories xx
Gordon played the song with a capo on the 2nd fret. Campbell plays it in the same key, but without the capo, and still manages a flawless interpretation.
I was 18 years old when my sister gave me a Glen Campbell album as Christmas gift; I loved it, and this song was my favourite! Many, many years later and I am still partial to this song! Still a Glen Campbell fan!
I was 11 my my brother gave me a GC album for Christmas. Here’s to siblings with good music taste.
RIP Glenn
I've loved listening to your songs for many decades, but there is only one man who can really sing this song the right way and of course that would be "The Gordon"
Never knew he sang this.Very good rendition of this song the only other person worrhy of singing it.
There will never be another like Glen... x
Golden Glen
We took him for granted
Now he's gone and we just can't get him back
Oh how I long for the seventies! To be with my Mum and Dad again and take my boys and wife back with me...
Hey m.what a beautiful thing to say, damn , my eyes are sweating .
Glen singing a Gordon Lightfoot song ,I'm in heaven !
This and Elvis' "Early Morning Rain" are my two favorite Gordon Lightfoot covers. Glen could sing anything, God bless him.
Jake Mabe yes
The one unfulfilled hope I’ll have for the rest of my life is, Elvis singing this song. Uhh 😌
Gordon’s version is so haunting as if he’d been heartbroken. Gordon please sing this in Heaven so my son can experience your beautiful voice
The orchestral backing is nice but IMO the little fills that come with the other acoustic guitar is what makes Gordo's original so haunting
I'm in love. He's got the sweetest voice.
Glen is playing an Ovation guitar. Round back and classic headstock. I love the Ovation guitars.
Glen was great in his own right but this arrangement did do it justice.
People are nuts on this thread. This fine cover is another evidence of Glen's great versatility.
“People are nuts on this thread.” Lmao 😆 That thought runs through my head at most places on the internet
This is a great song love it
ALL IS WELL, GLEN. I LOVE YOU. ❤️
🥲 Gordon and Glen. Thank you
I only found this song last year, now a favourite ... love this song, great version.
the original was one of a kind. you can see and feel into the soul of the song. cant say the same about this one.
original song ???? give link pls
Nobody can beat Gord on this song, but damn if Glen didn’t do it justice. I miss listening to both of them back then. I watched Glen Campbell on tv with my dad. He loved both of them.
Very nice. But nobody does this song like Gordon Lightfoot that wrote and made it a hit!💗
This Glen Campbell version is a lot better. Probably because he lived in a free country. Just kidding! Gordon’s version is much better!
GLEN & GORDON MAKE A MARVELOUS DUO...SPLENDID!
genius is a word thrown around cheaply these days but this man was
Genius? How so?
@@dr.strangelove7788 because had talent not like todays rubbish
@@darrenstorey7608 I don’t disagree with you on todays music, but as great as GC was as a singer and guitarist, he was not a songwriter. That why I was confused with the Genius tag.
@@dr.strangelove7788 Glen was a virtuoso on guitar and was a session player who helped work on many arrangements for other artists. He was in high demand for his musical abilities before he went out on his career. Some would say he was a musical genius.
Beautiful 👏👏
Exactly! What an amazingly talented and beautiful human being. God bless you and family.
Brilliant singer, guitarist and human.
I miss you Rinstone Cowboy 🤠
I wish I could have met you glen. Yoir talent was unmatched. I'm blessed to be able to enjoy your music and there is a special place in heaven for you
Love this cover. Maybe a tad bit slower would have been nice to savor the music and the meaning of the words to this hauntingly beautiful song. 😊
I agree. Too fast.
Exactly what I was thinking. But I bet it was a deliberate choice to differentiate his version. Maybe one of his bandmates can let us know?
Exactly my thought A.
This is one of few versions that can rival the original. ❤
Nothing beats the original, but this is definitely a great version. Glen could sing anything and it would sound good.
Never!
Lovely. And his loss breaks my heart. Wether his songs or another's he brought something special . Like here his tempo change conveys different feeling n
Another good song of the last Century. Glen Campbell was a very good singer and he sounded as if he really meant what he was saying. I have liked this song in Gordon Lightfoot's version which was the original but this one is very good too.
I absolutely love this version!
2019 is an hour away, I look forward (God willing) to another year of losing myself in Glen. Even his name sounds delicious 😃
the feelings that "we" lacked. Gordon changed the words from "you" lacked..... to "we". His daughter asked him to. Since then; when he sings it live, the change is in.
very cool. remember watching this kind of stuff on TV at my grandparents' in the 70s
I love this, he made it his own🎶〰💞
Both Glen and Don Williams made beautiful cover of this song by Gordon.
What a great set design. Basically having the girls dance the pieces in and then twirl out. Great TV
Glen Campbell was GREAT..with his songs.
The best music!!!!!!!!!!!!
so good All we need was Gordon to join in
Glen has a great voice, he is very handsome, plays guitar extremely well and has beautiful hair.
BEAUTIFUL as Always ♥️
One of the best of my generation
Awesome!!!
A wonderful song
Glen,,,,still love it
we miss you glen.
Get ready for the legendary armchair critics with their bloody comparisons and making not a bit of difference to this so talented man !!!!!
As soon as he strummed the opening chords I asked myself if he had ever performed or recorded “If I Was a Carpenter.”
It's too bad the TV show orchestra had to horn in on what is a beautiful song best just done on guitar. Glen Campbell was a superb guitarist and singer,all this production needed was just Glen Campbell's guitar and voice. Best version I've heard of this song outside Gordon Lightfoot.
Wow, That's good stuff !!!!!
Steve Sturdivan
Bob Sowa rip glen
I never knew he did this song. Maybe he sped up the tempo so that he wouldn't be accused of theft. He performed "Gentle On My Mind" at the correct temp, and people thought that it was his song. Hell, even John Hartford said so. Glen was too nice and always gave John credit, and joined him for many great versions of that song.
Which song is better? Gordon's version, definitely. His voice reaches down to your soul. This would be a second, but I haven't heard Johny Cash's version. Merci to the comments section.
And thanks for posting this.
No doubt Glenn is one of the very best..
Great voice..
Raw talent...
All the way from the uk
“I don’t know where we went wrong, but the feelings gone,
And I just can’t get it back.”
Sounds like he’s Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.
The words tell a real story. It’s crazy
Few artists could pull off covering that song. Glen could.
I really wish he had played this much more slowly. He had the talent and voice to do a great version of this song. While this version is nice, it is just too fast to catch all the subtle, and not-so-subtle, emotions found in this gem of a song. I almost feel like the producers made him speed it up for TV purposes.
A little more upbeat than the original, but a nice feel; in fact, I think I like it better.
best of both worlds
Brilliant artist with songs like witchita line man
There are some songs that should never be covered by anyone, this is one of those songs. No one can better convey the feelings GL did, he actually lived the song.
A fantastic singer
RIP Glenn thank you
Gord owns this song. Glen sings it too.
Gordon’s version is my favorite but this is an excellent cover.
Glen plays this a little fast but its still awesome.
