Jimmy Webb once said something like "the voice is an instrument and Glen Campbell plays it the best"... I could not agree more...his voice is magic...powerful yet gentle...as smooth as silk...and what an incredible guitarist...God bless you Glen!!!
There are so many things to say about this unreal medley performance, but let me first of all say that the unusual mixture of songs (and their genres) is really what sets it apart from others of its kind -- a little pop country, 60's folk, 70's r&b, broadway-esque ballad, and classic rock -- all combined with rarefied singing of stellar range and tone.....and of course, the virtuoso guitar playing was like no one of his generation or others that have since followed. Glen was one for the ages, and this early 70's performance, which was clearly at the peak of his popularity and musicality, demonstrate how great his talent really was! CET
I love his rendition of "Ain't No Sunshine"! His instrumental solos are every bit as beautiful as his singing... God surely gave Glen a gift which he has shared with the world, God bless you, Glen and may you feel the love your fans have for you..
I first knew of this man when I was a child in the late 1970s i grew up listening and loving his music. in my teens I bought my first guitar...became a professional musician i married we have a family 3 daughters and our son I named my son Glen god bless you Glen Campbell thank for sharing your amazing gift and being a part of my life through your music.
FRIEND, I HEAR YOU!! BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ME TOO AM A PROFESSIOALMUSICIAN, WATCHING GLEN HERE LIKE THIS, DAMN, SO THE BEST!! LIVE YOUR PASSION!!!
This rendition of Wichita Lineman must be around the time when he recorded. Most underrated voice guitarist ever. He was best. Glen Travis Campbell is American Treasure !!
Growing up in Arkansas my dad and I use to listen to him on the radio. One of the most talented voices and guitar players. Both are gone now and I miss them both.
I'll always remember Glen Campbell best for his Texas Ranger performance in my favorite movie of all time True Grit (1969). He may forget who he is, but we won't.
boy, he's been on my mind today. I remember glen said he cried when he heard elvis was dead. I feel a little like it. as a great a singer as glen was you may have to play a little guitar to know how great he really was. the true king of country boy guitar players. all I can say is I was always a fan.
Glen was one of those rare guys who could combine speed and touch in his playing. A lot of guys can do one or the other but not many can do both, at the same time.
Amazing talent. When I watch live concert videos, the volume levels are almost never right. In this video of many different concerts the volumes are perfect. Right before he started playing, he changed the volume setting of his guitar. He is great at every aspect of performing.
+javelin1835 Well, no. But he does have tremendous God-given talent. Even better than that, he knows the "absolute God" and is now eternally in His presence as a result.
Glen is one of the most recorded guitarists that is a known fact but I'm thinking he may also one of the most televised musicians as well does anybody know if I'm onto something here?
Thank you Glen. Your voice is so powerful yet tender with a feeling you are singing just to me. Your guitar playing is so flawless, I find it hard to imagine how the cute little boy taught all this go himself. You definitely have God's gifts for singing and playing. you are also so pleasant to watch, a handsome face, well fit body dressed appropriately, and did I say handsome face? I have always loved you as a gift to make my day better.
NEC PLURIBUS IMPAR BLESS YOU MR. CAMPBELL HOPEFULLY GIGGING WITH ELVIS ETC ETC- WONDERFUL GENTLEMAN AGUS STUNNING PERFORMER!!💎💎💎💎💎💎💎👌👌👌🇨🇮🇨🇮👽🇨🇮🇨🇮👋🐕👏👏👏👏👏👏
He was a consummate musician. He always played and sang with passion and excellence. RIP - so glad you came to know Jesus! Some day in heaven I want to shake your hand and play a tune with you!!
Wow, love that instrumental/jazzy version of Ain't No Sunshine, excellent!! I also really like those old electric ovations, you hardly ever see those anymore.
Unfeakin believable prodigious talent! Ya just can't teach this ! Wish there were vids of him as a child. Supposedly, he learned young and was gratified he could play lone ranger theme song after attending the movie.
5:05 C'mon, you know the "Ain't No Sunshine" instrumental is what you really came here for. Masterful! I am particularly fascinated by the Ovation Breadwinner (Deacon?) Sounds great! Of course, with Glen playing it, what were the chances it wouldn't sound fantastic?
+Rs M Very, very few can match Glen's talent. It was said of him by other musicians that God had given him almost too much talent! I'm so thankful that we're the beneficiaries of all that talent.
I can truly say that Glenn Campbell was a master musician one of the best that ever picked up a guitar . All around guitar player. He could play everything.
Fabulous performance of "Aint No Sunshine". Phenomenal guitarist. Stellar version of "Oh Happy Day!" So sorely missed.😢❤
Jimmy Webb once said something like "the voice is an instrument and Glen Campbell plays it the best"... I could not agree more...his voice is magic...powerful yet gentle...as smooth as silk...and what an incredible guitarist...God bless you Glen!!!
One of the most musically talented people to walk the Earth 🌎🎸💖 R.I.P. Glen
The best interpreter of the jim Webb songs.......
Ok Glen , I got really distracted when you started shaking your hips to Oh Happy Day !!!! Thanks so much !!!!
RIP Rhinestone cowboy... your voice and your music has made this world a more beautiful place.

I can’t think right offhand of anyone who had such a voice AND guitar mastery. Rare indeed and a national treasure. I watched his show religiously.

Feel the love of your millions fans. You are a national treasure ...
Beautiful
The world was robbed from Glen's musical genius ability, writing lyrics, and his wonderful voice. Still very sad over that loss. RIP Glen.
SADLY MISSED
Words are not sufficient.
Amazing talent. When I watch live concert videos, the volume levels are almost never right. In this video of many different concerts the volumes are perfect. Right before he started playing, he changed the volume setting of his guitar. He is great at every aspect of performing.
The best singer and guitar player in the world
Without any doubt!!
Awesome music from an absolute legend.
This man is an absolute God.
+javelin1835
Well, no. But he does have tremendous God-given talent. Even better than that, he knows the "absolute God" and is now eternally in His presence as a result.
One of our Great Musicians & Singers . . . . . . .
I just watched his last performances on CNN' special about him, titled Glen Campbell, I'll Be Me A beautiful and sad story all at once.
Simply gutted for the loss of this amazing man with such talent !
Simply Stunning to My Heart & soul . . . . . . .
Ole Glen can pick, now!
+drkfive Yes he can!
PURE VOICE MAGNIFICENT
Glen is one of the most recorded guitarists that is a known fact but I'm thinking he may also one of the most televised musicians as well does anybody know if I'm onto something here?
rest in peace you legend
ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!! EXCEPTIONAL!!!
this vocal on Wichita Lineman was better then the record. One of my all time favorites. Glen Campbell.
Best of the Best!!!
Oh happy day! And he surely meant it!
Glen's guitar instrumental is from another galaxy. What a great guitarist and singer.👍👍
I had no idea Glen was such an accomplished guitar player. Every bit as good the more famous guitarists you hear about (Knopfler, Paige, Hendrix).
Squirrel Attackspidy The fact he isn't spoke of or remembered this way in pop culture is a damn shame 🎸🔥
He was one of the most famous and prolific session guitarists in music history. He played on The Beach Boys albums and so many others.
@@kellycoleman715 Frank Sinatra too!
Beautiful 🥰❤️
Such an incedible guitar player!
Thank you Glen. Your voice is so powerful yet tender with a feeling you are singing just to me. Your guitar playing is so flawless, I find it hard to imagine how the cute little boy taught all this go himself. You definitely have God's gifts for singing and playing. you are also so pleasant to watch, a handsome face, well fit body dressed appropriately, and did I say handsome face? I have always loved you as a gift to make my day better.
You said how I feel, He is the total package. personality and that gorgeous face. Love him!
Simply a breathtaking talent and artist for the ages. Awesome. Thank you.

HMmmm A young Glenn Campbell when all things were better
Glen Campbell and Jimmie Webb were an incredible force of music that will last a lifetime .
Wow, love that instrumental/jazzy version of Ain't No Sunshine, excellent!! I also really like those old electric ovations, you hardly ever see those anymore.
Everything I watch of him dynamic,confident,flawless

Unfeakin believable prodigious talent! Ya just can't teach this ! Wish there were vids of him as a child. Supposedly, he learned young and was gratified he could play lone ranger theme song after attending the movie.
He is a treasure 💖
Pure Gentleman..
"Ain't no Sunshine" played by Glen just gives me goose bumps. Does anyone know if he ever recorded it? I would love to get it.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Timeless gold! 👍
PURE GOLD
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pure perfection!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure miss this man.
Call me crazy, but the intro to Oh Happy Day sounds just like the beginning of My Sweet Lord (which I suppose technically is similar to One Fine Day.)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No one better rip glenn
Amen To That
How prophetic was previous comment.!!!!!
A guitar vertioso. I'd it ok, to put this talented gifted entertainer there next to The King Elvis......
Computer Aided Drafters! Yeah! That is it! CADs!
5:05 C'mon, you know the "Ain't No Sunshine" instrumental is what you really came here for. Masterful! I am particularly fascinated by the Ovation Breadwinner (Deacon?) Sounds great! Of course, with Glen playing it, what were the chances it wouldn't sound fantastic?
At 7:30 I thought he was busting into “My Sweet Lord” - which may or may not have been written at that time. :)
Took country out of 3 cord songs
He had the Bieber-cut first.
To bad Bieber could not copy Glenn's talent....
+Rs M
Very, very few can match Glen's talent. It was said of him by other musicians that God had given him almost too much talent! I'm so thankful that we're the beneficiaries of all that talent.
Beautiful song. The backing singers need credit! Would not be the same without them!
Can anyone do it better! No
He is and is still a prick write a book about cocoganin use but out tanya in it coward
I can truly say that Glenn Campbell was a master musician one of the best that ever picked up a guitar . All around guitar player. He could play everything.
