The real shame is that a LOT of young people (even those who like country music) don’t know how great most of these people sitting around on this show actually were. Mega talented writers and musicians.
You are SO right! So many there were icons themselves! Sad they are forgotten. But Willie may last forever! Love that kind Glen Campbell! And Crystal Gayle enjoying is Loretta Lynn's little sister.
and I wish Roy had chimed in, to me all the he Haw stuff helped Roy to remain a bit in the shadow relative to his talent. His voice, too, better than many. I wish he and Glenn had toured together, played and sung together.
@@jimquantic Roy and Glenn were 'compadres' and played together as "dueling guitarists" many times. (from what I've seen over the years) Different yet equally great, IMO. Never saw the whole show, but seems to me Roy was letting his colleague have his moment. I've always thought Roy Clark was a monster talent on guitar (along with Chet Atkins)
20 years ago I would've dismissed this without even listening because of the genre. Now it causes goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye. Glen was such a talent. So nice to see all these musical geniuses sitting around enjoying each other's ability.
Glen Campbell had so many gifts that it almost seemed unfair. He played brilliantly, sang wonderfully, wrote so many terrific songs and could even act very well. He is sorely missed.
I'm a guitar player for over 50 years. I play blues and jazz. When I see this video I stop everything, listen and SMILE. This is an absolutely terrific exhibition of EXCELLENT Guitar playing. The love that comes out, and the talent are the best. This is a great picker if I ever heard one.
I've watched another copy of this clip maybe a thousand times and every time it chokes me up. Glen was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and God blessed us by letting it be in our lifetimes. Happy birthday, Glen!
Crystal Gale smiling next to you while you strum a guitar, I’d fall to pieces. Roy Clark is watching so intently and Glen knows he’s watching - and Roy knows Glen knows! Two juggernauts of country and guitar playing in general. Simply one of the best songs ever.
John Holton. I live in Scotland a would have paid any money to go to America and be there to listen to this. I only recently fully appreciated Glen from seeing him on these TH-cam clips. Adorable and out of this world the joy he brings singing this song.xx
Ok, time for me to admit it publicly. I've watched this video (over the years) about 600 times. 🤣 I've admired him since the 60's, wow. Rest in peace, sir...
I know exactly where I was…. Recently returned from Afghanistan… I was with my wife of 30 years at a restaurant … I had just taken a bite… and my wife mentioned that Glenn had passed away… and the gentle tears flowed.
Bravo(!), Glen, as you perform in the midst of all those other 'greats', just like yourself. Ah,... how that song and the wonderful music of that era brings back 'golden memories', that are ever...'gentle on my mind'.
Sometimes we don't appreciate the talent in front of us till it's gone. The sign of a truly great song/performer is that you never get tired of hearing it. Talent on that stage !!
This is a wonderful performance. I especially love the expression on Roy Clark's face as he listens and watches Glen. Roy has the wonder and admiration of a boy watching one of his heroes. It makes me admire them both even more.
You can't put Roy Clark in Glen Cambell's category of talent. Roy could make you think he was great by his comedy antics and pretending it was so difficult, but he made a lot of mistakes and covered them up by acting silly, which the people loved and interpreted that as being great. But if you played guitar you would see the difference in Cambells talent and Roy Clark or any other country guitarist's capabilities.
When one looks close and sees the genuine admiration from his peers, especially those who the camera focuses on on, including Roy Clark and Chet Atkins, it give one hope that there are very good human beings on this planet.
All the historical talent on that stage, we’re losing them one by one, it’s a sad day every time one of them passes. Willie, Roy Clark and Chet Adkins admiring Glens skill on that guitar as well as the rest of them, there isn’t any body in the new generation that can touch Glens talent.
02:31 That says it all right there. Look at the smiles on all of those faces. Glen has the admiration and respect of everyone of his fellow artists on that stage. My oh my, Glen was a supreme talent. Growing up, our family always watched “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour”.
I used to listen to a country music station, late night. And the DJ knew what folks who were up at that late hour wanted to hear. He'd play blocks of music, from certain stars. He played Glen Campbell music one night. RIP Glen. Your were the master.
Roy had a (jealous) smile frozen to his face the whole time because, though he himself was a great picker, Glen left him in the dust and Roy knew it! He put on a brave face, to his credit, but Glen's clean lines just dusted everything.
I have always loved this clip. Sadly, it reminds me of the great talent that we have lost. I remember seeing Glen and Guitar Man Jerry Reed back in 1970 at the Arkansas State Fair. They were to guitar what Ray is to the keyboard.
I once thought that I hated country music. But Glen Campbell and many of the people he's surrounded by here, including Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, Crystal Gayle, Roy Clark, et al., were part of the tradition of country and bluegrass music that was a real American artform. What country music evolved into is a commercial mess of bland, homogenous crap. Hearing this song really surprised me by taking me back to my childhood in the 1960s. He was a bigger part of it than I ever noticed.
Good morning. I too was 15 in 1968. In my opinion Glen Campbell was THE most underrated guitar player. Period. And one helluva singer/songwriter also. I have admired this man my whole life. Such a talent. Pretty sure he is missed by many. Myself included. RIP kind sir. You made the world a better place.
Glen's butter smooth vocals made him a superstar who rose to the stratosphere in his profession. But that was just one of his talents, master gituar player and I believe he wrote too. Reminds me of simpler times
Just watched Glen's last performance singing "Gentle on my Mind." Very sad for all of us. My Heart goes out to Glen's wife and family. My Sincere condolences. Thankyou for the Courage all of you to show it. I humbly pay my deepest respects to Glen and his GOD given talents. One of the finest (in my opinion) guitar players and vocalists...ever! Glen's performance of "Gentle on my Mind" hosted by Ralph Emery is truly wonderful to listen to and watch. Thankyou for the Great memories Glen..you've gone to a far better Resting Place...
I was 6 or 7 years old when Glens variety show debuted on national television. My oldest brother who then bared a stark resemblance to Glen, was deployed to Vietnam. My brother had a band before joining the Marines. So on the night the show aired, the phone began to ring from many of our neighbors who thought the guy they were watching on television was my oldest brother under a stage name. This went on for a couple more weeks to the point my parents started to question Ricks whereabouts. Glen Campbell has given all of us so many wonderful songs that helped us to navigate life just a little easier and funnier at times. Rest easy Glen and thanks for the many memories.
No one has ever been able to match Glen Campbell's virtuosity and professionalism. His talent is the standard by which all country players ought to be compared.
Even a teenage rocker like me, in the sixties, would turn up Glen when one of his songs came on the radio. Much later I realized that the Nashville cats were the most talented music makers on the planet.
there is an old video on youtube that has them doing instrumental together called "ghost riders in the sky". poor quality video because of age, but great audio. look it up. you wont be disappointed.
my god was Glen talented. Waylon is my favorite but man Glen has so much talent. Must be the greatest guitar player in country music history. Am I right? Jerry Reed, Vince Gill and Keith Urban are all great. But wow is Glen incredible
Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed should have their own version of Mt. Rushmore as the top guitar players ever..certainly in Country Music, and a good case could be made for any music genr. Maybe Vince Gill as an alternate lol...Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, and Ricky Skaggs could make good arguments for their own inclusion too...but Glen, Roy, Chet, and Jerry are THE top dogs and my mind can't be changed on them.
I saw Glen live in 2005, right before he got really sick. The first half of the show was his classics and the second half was him singing Christmas songs. What and unbelievable experience
I know that we honor people and their greatness in special tributes like Kennedy Center Honores, and Life Time Achievement awards, and the like. But it seems like we never truly understand how terrific they were untill their gone.
My father would always be playing Glen was I was growing up so I knew a lot of his music. Until recently I had no idea how good of a musician he was and that he is recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Exceptional talent.
@@jmazoso Agreed. I have to wonder how it was that Roy and Glen never officially got the "c.g.p." degree from Chet. I can only assume it was on Chet's "to do" list. Or Chet felt that they were better than he was and so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to presume to "honor" them.
Thanks, God, for giving Glen Campbell to the world. He was the middle kid from a big family. If the Campbells' had stopped at one kid............... Think about it.
I was first introduced to the music of John Hartford in the early 70's and was a big fan of Gentle on my mind before Glen recorded it. His cover of this wonderful Hartford song became very popular and made Hartford a rich man. What I always appreciated about Glen is that he always gave John credit for the song.
Glen Campbell was a great talent. I'm sorry to say I did not appreciate him in my youth. Now, because of people keeping his reputation alive I'm completely transformed to a huge fan. The man had no formal training. Amazing. I have a back up track of Gentle On My Mind and am wearing it out singing along while driving. Also bought Glen's Greatest Hits with all the great Jimmy Web songs.
Wondering what Ched Atkins was thinking while looking at Glen’s guitar picking….” I can do that”. The musical talent in that room was incredible to see. 👍👍👍
Incredible to see Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson and Roy Clark, and the others all transfixed on Glen Campbell's playing. What a loss he is. If anyone deserved to be made a Certified Guitar Player - it was Glen Campbell.
When you hypnotize absolute legends around you with your talent. He was universally respected by artists from ALL genres. He was a master musician and equally wonderful human being.
"If there was ever an example of a man given too much talent in one body, it was Glen." - Merle Haggard
The real shame is that a LOT of young people (even those who like country music) don’t know how great most of these people sitting around on this show actually were.
Mega talented writers and musicians.
You are SO right! So many there were icons themselves! Sad they are forgotten. But Willie may last forever! Love that kind Glen Campbell! And Crystal Gayle enjoying is Loretta Lynn's little sister.
The talent in that room will never be matched again....There is more talent in that room than In all of modern Nashville
I always believed that Glen is one of the greatest all around musician of all time.
I agree
Because he is......
His greatest song rip
Without a doubt. What a great talent.
1000% agreed!
You know you are a guitar icon when you have three men (Chet, Roy, and Willie) who know something about guitar playing looking at you at awe.
I noticed that, too! I was in awe, too.
True!
Roy Clark listening to and clearly enjoying Glen Campbell's incredible guitar work. Two absolute masters of their craft right there.
Indeed....we will not see that greatness of talent again.
Also Chet Atkins and Willie Nelson.
Now Bubba that's what I was telling my Niece
Bobby Right? Isn't that awesome. He's watching Glen thinking "Damn....that boy is fantastic" and not like "Dammit...I hate him" Love that.
That was just beautiful. It was so gentle in my mind, my heart and my soul. Thank so much YT. And thank you very very much Mr. Glen Campbell. RIP
Glen was a studio musician. It doesn't get any better than that. RIP Glen, your legacy will forever be alive!
Some nights the haunting pulls me back..... one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.....Roy Clark's face says it all
amen
Couldn't agree more 👏
and I wish Roy had chimed in, to me all the he Haw stuff helped Roy to remain a bit in the shadow relative to his talent. His voice, too, better than many. I wish he and Glenn had toured together, played and sung together.

When THE great Roy Clark looks at you with utter admiration in his eyes, you've gotta know you're special...!!! I loved you Glen, I always will.
I thought the same thing. Roy Clark was one of the best pop music guitarists ever, and to see his admiration for Glen is truly special.
20 years ago I would've dismissed this without even listening because of the genre. Now it causes goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye. Glen was such a talent. So nice to see all these musical geniuses sitting around enjoying each other's ability.
I could not have said it better , feel the very same way
Country back then was a much better, classier Country genre. More soulful and inspired.
I think most of us go through a similar journey- it’s probably called music maturity
Yes...
Same here.
Glen Campbell had so many gifts that it almost seemed unfair. He played brilliantly, sang wonderfully, wrote so many terrific songs and could even act very well. He is sorely missed.
when he was raised , I recall him saying they didnt even have electricity.
Muy bue no
I'm a guitar player for over 50 years. I play blues and jazz. When I see this video I stop everything, listen and SMILE. This is an absolutely terrific exhibition of EXCELLENT Guitar playing. The love that comes out, and the talent are the best. This is a great picker if I ever heard one.
When Roy Clark and Chet Atkins are sitting in Awe of a guy you know you’re seeing something really special.
I'm😅o😢i
I've watched another copy of this clip maybe a thousand times and every time it chokes me up. Glen was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and God blessed us by letting it be in our lifetimes. Happy birthday, Glen!
i watched that other clip 1000 times as well. when he says “I’ll play one,” he shows is musical genius. what a masterpiece
@@Jrfsfnm1 Totally
Crystal Gale smiling next to you while you strum a guitar, I’d fall to pieces. Roy Clark is watching so intently and Glen knows he’s watching - and Roy knows Glen knows! Two juggernauts of country and guitar playing in general. Simply one of the best songs ever.

Thanks and I don’t blame you one iota for watching this hundreds of times it’s beautiful and addictive!
I know exactly where I was…. Recently returned from Afghanistan… I was with my wife of 30 years at a restaurant … I had just taken a bite… and my wife mentioned that Glenn had passed away… and the gentle tears flowed.
One of the most underrecognized and unappreciated country stars ever. Such a great guitar picker, writer and performer. One of my favorite songs.
?
He did not write the song in the video,but everybody knows who Glen is.
No your wrong he was so big back in the 60'70's he had his own show ,he toured he was loved and very much appreciated.
He was appreciated by those who loved his voice and musical choices.
It brings tears to my eyes too. Those were the good days.
When Glen looks around and sees all those famous faces showing him admiration and affection.
Bravo(!), Glen, as you perform in the midst of all those other 'greats', just like yourself. Ah,... how that song and the wonderful music of that era brings back 'golden memories', that are ever...'gentle on my mind'.
He was with me in Vietnam whenever I got out
Of the field he made Life alot easier.
Thank you Glen Campbell.
Welcome home, brother. Glad you made it.
Every person there was full of talent ,glen just had twice his share
Brilliant....dont think enough people realise just how good Glen was!!!
Watch the clip of what Alice Cooper has to say about Glenn.

Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark were as good or better than any other guitarists.
You couldn't afford to get this level of talent together today.
And Roy was one of Glenn's heroes as well.

indeed. Man that solo just so smooth.
Just take a look at the expressions and attentiveness of those artists listening - brings tears to my eyes.
When you are on stage with Roy Clark and Chet Atkins and are the best guitarist of the bunch...
I listen to this everyday like a multivitamin
thats an insane amount of talent on that stage !
When Roy Clark is the second or third best guitarist in the group then yes, it's an insane amount of talent assembled.
Willies face after Glenn’s solo said it all.
@@brucebernard994I thought Chet was sitting on the front row.
Glen has a quiet confidence knowing he can best any man in that room and can catch the eye of any woman.

TheCarnivalGuy. This clip also gets me with the smiles and appreciation from his fellow musicians. I can watch this over and over.xxxx
And over and over. You’re in Scotland - I’m in Western Australia - but the whole world has to love this.
And Gene Watson at the end of the solo...OH YEAH!!!!
When Roy Clark is enjoying himself you know it’s good!

One of the best musicians to ever pick up a guitar. He forgot more than most will ever learn. You are missed! RIP
So much talent in that room and Roy Clark and everyone else was totally in awe of Glen : ))))))

Damn I miss real country music like these legends made
Glen was never a person to take the easy way. How he always has to play every note, key change and chord on his guitar still blows me away.
Glen's butter smooth vocals made him a superstar who rose to the stratosphere in his profession. But that was just one of his talents, master gituar player and I believe he wrote too. Reminds me of simpler times
Glen was so such a great player that the best musicians of the time were impressed. That doesn’t happen.
I cry when i think we lost such a talent and a gentleman too
Him or Roy are the best guitar players of all time!

Glen is smooth like glass and can char a guitar from the lightning in his fingers none finer . Awesome!
"Char a guitar". I'll remember that - nice!
Una delle piu belle canzoni di Glen.... 😊😍😘😘🎶🎶💘❤️💯💯💋🍀

I would include Jerry Reed in the group also.

This performance by Glenn of Gentle On My Mind is positively brilliant, especially seeing him so vibrant and healthy and full of life! ❤

Two musical geniuses: Glenn and Ray. ❤❤❤❤. Glenn you are sorely missed.😢
When you see the smiles of his contemporaries you know he’s special.
Sadly missed
Hard to believe all that talent in one room, but Glen is number one.
When you hypnotize absolute legends around you with your talent. He was universally respected by artists from ALL genres. He was a master musician and equally wonderful human being.
We were blessed to have him and the enduring gifts he left us !
And it doesn't get any better than that. Brings back a ton of memories, a simpler time.

Wow. Roy Clark likin' ya pickin' is a supreme compliment.
The rhythm of this song is truly captivating.
Bobby Bare is one of my favorite country singer of all time.

I hope everyone recognizes the country superstars sitting on the stage with Glenn!
That was truly awesome! Glen Campbell was THE BEST!
