Thank you so much for reacting to this great tribute to a true legend. I grew up listening to his music. Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. This awful disease of Alzheimer's affects everyone from all walks of life. It robs people of their hopes & dignity. And it is even worse for the caregivers. He had a lot of hits such as "Wichita Lineman", "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", "Gentle On My Mind", "Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife", "Galveston", "Try A Little Kindness", "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Southern Nights" etc.
Glen is part of the soundtrack of my youth. Wichita Lineman, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, Gentle on My Mind, Rhinestone Cowboy, MacArthur Park....sooo many hits. He and Jimmy Webb were an unbeatable combination. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to write this. I think the early stages of Alz must the absolute hell - KONWING you are going to be losing everything you know. But they do say that music is one thing patients still retain. OK - right now, while you are thinking about it - GO GET A BOX OF TISSUES!!! Or your subscribers will start mailing them to you.
Very sad, but a beautiful song. I am sure you guys must have heard some of Glen's music. A few of his hits...Rhinestone Cowboy...Wichita Lineman...Galveston...and tons more. And he was one helluva guitar player as well.
I grew up listening to Glen Campbell. He was an amazing musician-Jeremy, he played the William Tell Overture on guitar! My father had dementia and died from the effects of it, so this one hits home. You might like to check out Wichita Lineman, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Gentle on My Mind, Galveston, and/or Southern Nights. He had one song that was kind of cringey, but he sang it well - Rhinestone Cowboy. He could also hold his own with the best guitarists of the era. Thanks, Jeremy and Jillian!
Yes some great songs by Glen. This my favorite song of Glen. My 2nd favorite Glen song is Southern Nights. I was stationed at Camp LeJeune when it was a hit. "I'm Not Goin Miss You"
I remember thinking who would have thought Alzheimers would be a blessing, but when my best friend died at an early age from cancer her mother had already not recognized or remembered her for over a year so she would never be aware of and feel the loss of her child.
Glen Campbell was a great guitarist and singer. He had his own TV show called the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. He was part of the famed session musician group known as The Wrecking Crew, who played behind everyone in them 60s and 70s. There is a documentary about the called The Wrecking Crew, they played behind Sinatra, The Carpenters, the early Monkees, they were world famous Los Angeles session men. Glen was a phenomenal guitar player and a great vocalist and had some great and timeless hits. He was even a Beach Boy for a while. This song made me bawl when it came out. Good reaction.
Glen was part of a group of musicians known as The Wrecking Crew. They appeared on 1,000s of songs as studio musicians. He played on Sinatra to Elvis to The Beach Boys to pretty much any big name you can think of from the 60s. He's one of the greatest guitarists ever. Check out his playing in live versions of Galveston or MacArthur Park. Simply amazing.
Campbell’s many accomplishments as a singer songwriter are legendary in the music industry. As a guitarist who couldn’t read music he played on many great entertainer’s songs as a member of the wrecking crew! He also spent a short stint as a Beach Boy!
If you’re a Glen Camobell fan, you must watch the documentary “I’ll Be Me”. It covers his last tour while suffering with Alzheimer’s. McCartney and the Boss show up. As for his biggest hits: Witchita Lineman Galveston Gentle on My Mind Rhinestone Cowboy Southern Nights
I keep telling y’all you need to keep a box of Kleenex in the studio! This one got me big time. Grew up with so many of his songs. And I have seen loved ones lose their memories to Alzheimer’s and dementia. So caring of him to record this while he could for his family! ❤️🎶
Wichita Lineman has to be one of my favorites. A seeming simple concept that lets you see the world through another's eyes with such clarity and pride. The strings used in the song send the electricity down the line. Masterful.
Alzheimer's had to be the CRUELEST disease ever!!! I think, as hard as it would be, I could take on cancer, or support a loved one with any number of nasty diseases. But, Alzheimer's, takes your soul, and the soul of everyone that loves you! The fear, of not knowing , lost memories, I just can't imagine. 😢
I love that you guys did this. My dad would listen to old Glen Campbell stuff when we'd ride down the road in his GIGANTIC white Mercury, the longest car ever made, lol, you know, with the black seats that burned your butt when you sat down and seatbelts that probably melted your skin when it hit you. So this immediately brought back memories when I heard his voice again. I had not heard this one from him. It's too hard to finish. Alzheimer's is devastating and scary.
Thank you for reacting. Not only known for his Rhinestone Cowboy, Galveston, Southern Nights and many other songs on his own, Glen was an actor in the original True Grit with John Wayne, had his own TV variety show and played as a sought after session musician on hits by Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Beach Boys and the Righteous Brothers. I appreciate you!
Before his solo career, Glen was a member of The Wrecking Crew, some of the best studio musicians ever. He can be heard on an amazing number of albums by big name acts. He was an amazing musician.
Great reaction guys, this song is very real! Much like Johnny Cash singing hurt! Saying goodbye before he can’t! Great job guys and I am right there with you man! Put myself in that position it really does hit you! Low bass Kenneth
Some of my favorite GC songs: Galveston, Witchita Lineman, Rhinestone Cowboy. He was an amazing guitarist. I recommend watching some of his jam sessions. Side note, he toured with the Beach Boys in the 60s, filling in for Brian Wilson.
I loved " Galveston", and "Wichita Lineman", and "By the time I get to Phoenix", but to be honest I cannot think of a single song he sang that I didn't like.
Alzheimer’s is a horrible horrible way to die. Lost my dad and father in law to this. It robs the person of everything. It broke the connections between my dad’s brain and body. He forgot how to walk, forgot how to chew eventually forgot how to breathe. Having said that, this song is an amazing tribute. Thank you J & J … much love and,ways ❤❤
Aww, our Sweet Caroline....this comment was heart breaking. We are so sorry you are so close to the topic with your Dad. There are no good words, just please know we send the biggest hugs and wishes for some comfort despite your pain. xoxo ❤️🥷🏻
He played lead guitar on an album that is considered to be one of the top 10 rock albums ever. He then had a solo career that landed a number of his songs in the top 100 of all time. Makes me question your cred
Perhaps a generational gap. Questioning someone's credibility based on not knowing one artist in a genre that wasn't their primary growing up seems harsh. Either way, we are grateful to learn Glen now. Thank you for stopping by and the comment. ✌🏽

Thanks, Nancy. I have to believe we know at least one of those songs. And so true on the tissues!!! We need to fix that asap!

Glenn was able to tour internationally for about 20 months using muscle memory to continue playing guitar, he was a virtuoso!
Glen Campbell was a superstar back in the day. Great reaction.

Do yourself a favor and listen to "Wichita Lineman"' . He is one of the best guitarist I have ever heard

You need to react to his daughter, Ashley Campbell, remembering
Glenn Campbell has so many beautiful songs. So sad to have Alzheimer's. Thanks for the reaction.
Glen was a member of “The Wrecking Crew”. Look em up. They were the top of the food chain of musicians
I’ve heard that album, he got to the point he didn’t know his wife or children
This is very good got some tissues thanks from your Australia mate Chris❤

His daughter did a song in reply. You should look that up and give a reflection.
Everyone has mentioned his amazing music but he was also one of the stars in the original True Grit with John Wayne.
You might check out Glen's song "Whichita Lineman" it's one of his hits.
I don’t know how anyone can listen to this and not cry, I’m bawling my eyes out!
I think you might enjoy his cover of no more night for a very beautiful one!
Great reaction guys, this song is very real! Much like Johnny Cash singing hurt! Saying goodbye before he can’t! Great job guys and I am right there with you man! Put myself in that position it really does hit you! Low bass Kenneth
Ps one of his big hits was, Like a rhinestone cowboy.. Kenneth
I've seen this before and cried. I'll cry again, but that's ok.
Some of my favorite GC songs: Galveston, Witchita Lineman, Rhinestone Cowboy. He was an amazing guitarist. I recommend watching some of his jam sessions. Side note, he toured with the Beach Boys in the 60s, filling in for Brian Wilson.
This is one song that affects us all. This is a terrible disease.
I loved " Galveston", and "Wichita Lineman", and "By the time I get to Phoenix", but to be honest I cannot think of a single song he sang that I didn't like.
heya you guys should check out an artist called HYDE, songs i recommend DEFEAT, Mad Qualia, or PANDORA always love seeing your guys reactions
Thank you x2!! We appreciate you!
Thank you for doing this, song. Also are you aware that Toby Keith died on February 5th. RIP😢😢
Yes, and it's so incredibly sad. 😢

This song always brings me to tears and Im old Marine Corps Sergeant who served back in 1973-1977. We miss ya Glen.
Thank you for your service to our great nation, Sir!!! GBA!! 🇺🇸
@musikbyjh Thank you. I tell people the same thing, it was an honor to serve our great Nation and beloved Marine Corps. Semper Fi
He was one of the top studio musicians in his early days.
