I’m nearing the end of my life and every time I listen to this song I’m reminded of my youth. Mom and dad were alive and my brothers and sister were living at home. I feel like I was born at the right time. To the future I say this. “ Enjoy the music my generation left you”.
This is an understatement (forgive me), but Glen Campbell was an outrageously talented musician. Not only on guitar, but the tone of his voice. What a talent. Rest in peace Glen.
This is the America that I love, that I admired during my college years in the 70s. But that America has changed. Glen Campbell was the symbol of the good things that America gave to the world. I wish those days would come back one day. RIP Glen, your music is immortal.
Yes American has changed. During the mid 70s 1973-1977 I was in the United States Marine Corps. I've been around the world. But I always thought of my little hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. My late Dad was big Glenn Campbell fan. We never missed Glenn's weekly TV show Glenn.
Good God Glenn What a song, I'm 71 years old and never get tired of listening to Glenn sing this song. God bless you Gleand God bless us all. Fred Rodriguez 2023
Noreason to be afraid of dying.. Just remember it's not what you leave behind. It's just everything you leave behind and your kids and everything. You know, my Grandpa always told me if you're gonna do something do, right? Don't leave a stain, leave a legacy
With the entire Orchestra required to accompany any given Glen Cambel song, let us not forget to show appreciation to the drummer/backup singer. The most difficult instrument to play and sound decent singing. Good job sir
Reminds me of my youth. Living room stereo, mom and dad, roaring fireplace, dark winters night. A happier time for me. I had some difficult days in the times of my life, we all have, yes.
I am 83 and retired 20 ago after several million miles as a trucker music was my favorite , raised in Detroit by a country couple from KY I still fell in love with motown an rock & roll and country music , Glen Campbell was the best of the best he could make a great singer and one of the best musicians, he played back up for so many groups.
i have an uncle that drove the rigs forever and in retirement got calls to drive local and probably still does a few local. Y'all know some great music with all the hours on the road. thanks for keeping America MOVING FORWARD in all conditions and for all the times you saved a girl like me on the roads back and forth between university in Austin to visit my people in the DFW metroplex .
My dad was a black man born in Harlem and raised in southern Virginia and then Pittsburgh. He loves loved music. Glen Campbell was one of if not his favorite
Thirty years ago. I took a small jet to turn myself in at Allenwood Federal Prison Camp to do some time. I used to listen to this song because I had left without saying goodbye to anyone. We had a lake, a bocce court and gym, no fences and an old abandoned church with cemetery we could use. I became successful after I got out and now I'm retired. Songs like these make you travel back in time.
I love that Jimmy Webb wrote the first two verses of "Wichita Lineman," and Glen and his band just went into the studio and recorded the incomplete song as-is. Jimmy was stunned when Glen told him, "oh, yeah, we finished that recording" while Jimmy was still working on a bridge and third verse.
In 1964 they put a radio tower across the highway from our family's farm. I was 7. My parents gave me this little diode radio that u put together. It had a single ear phone and I started listening at nite ,laying in my bed .staring out the window at the bllinking red lite at the top of the tower .
For me, growing up listening to various rock groups, Glen Campbell was not cool. Hearing him now, I realize he was one of the best song writers ever, AND a phenomenal guitar player.
I did grow up to rock too, but I remember this was played when I was a kid, and I certainly thought back then it was beautiful and I still freaking do. And I also loved Rhinestone Cowboy by him and Southern Nights. So, yes he was no rock, but he was cool. Way cool
Someone once said about Glen Campbell that he had more talent than the law allows. That is an understatement! I don't believe we will ever see the likes of someone like him come our way anytime soon.
@@jeffreyleohner3247when you combine his vocal and guitar ability he is one of the greatest performers and musicians of all time. You could argue that he is the greatest and you would not have a weak argument
I was just 17 when By the Time I Get to Phoenix came out!! Of course I was a huge Beatles etc fan ...but hearing Glen Campbell for the first time, I just fell in love with his voice and songs. Listening to these brings back many memories. Now I am way older and still love listening to this amazing talent!! Glen Campbell you were just amazing and I loved you !!
I remember having my transitor radio on listening to this on my first day of Jr. High!🤩. So grateful to have grown up with the BEST MUSIC of any generation! We had it all - hard rock, folk music, pop & jazz. ✌🏽😎
My brother told me to listen to this and I said yes I've heard it a million times bruv he said it's the best love song ever I listen every time and think my brother is right it's so beautiful and hurting song I love it and god bless you Mr Glenn Campbell xx from my brother and me
Again, I have to confess that I was too stupid in the 60's and 70's to appreciate Glen Campbell. I grew up with siblings born from '48 to '53, but I was born much later. I wish that I'd had the musical maturity to know that Glen Campbell was a genius on the guitar with an exceptional voice and the man he gave to us all. God bless him , his family and all of us that love his memory and the talent that he's passed to his progeny...
I saw Glen in concert at a casino showroom, maybe late 70’s or early 80’s and he was tossing out a few signed frisbees; I didn’t catch one but wanted it so badly, I offered $100 to someone who caught one . To this day, my husband mocks me for it but I still have the frisbee!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
Have such wonderful memories of listening to Glen Campbell, one of my mom's favorites. The the end of her life, she had Alzheimer's but she could since every word of those songs we listened to so many times. Thank you, Glen Campbell, and Jimmy Webb, for this song and so many memorable songs from "back in the day"! Great memories for me of my mom and good times! Miss you, mom! 💞
When this was popular, I was so busy raising children and working full time that I didn’t appreciate the lyrics. Now that I’m 80, I realize what I missed all those years ago.
If I only could go back to 1970 when Glen came through my small hometown in Northern California on tour. I kick myself now for not going to his concert at that time.
Always love Glen Campbell reminds me of listening to the music with my parents.They are both gone now ,it brings me to tears happy and sad at the same time . I don’t have a family anymore,they tried to destroy me ,but they can’t take my heart and appreciation for great music !
Hi , same here ....hate from unhinged family ongoing , lost the two good ones , 'died'.........Saw Glen 7 daughter in 1987 ??? in australia, just loved them , still do.....good luck to you wherever U R.......Art, Aust.
Without one of the all time greats in whatever music genre you want him to be in.They dont and never will ever make music like this,that is full of emotion and transports us back in time when the world we live in was very different
My 1st concert I ever seen. Glen was my start into country music. Concert was early 70's, and was amazing back then. Each song over the years has a special memory for me. As I have aged, his voice takes me back through the years. May GOD bless him.
I went to nursing school in Galveston in the early 70's. Every juke box in town had the song. Glen did a lot for Galveston with the song. It takes me back....to some of the most wonderful tines of my life. Young love, growing up, beginning to understand life.
We lived several years in the USA. We still like his Voice and the Country Music of Glen, every week on TV in 1970 to 1980. We miss him.... very much. Helga and Klaus Ballnus Germany
I've just heard the most uplifting story when Glen came to my home town of Halifax, England in the 1980s Glen enjoyed his time in Halifax having the chraic with the locals before his sell out concerts. He frequented the pub the Plummet Line on a few occasions enjoying the local ales. So much so that the lass working behind the bar cooked him apple pie of which he looked forward to on his return, on his request. (Halifax Courier have an excellent article) I personally had to see Glen and did so in Manchester on his last tour of the UK. Boy, that was some emotional concert. God bless you Glen. X
I'm 59 years old and lost my mother recently. She live with me and my family foe a long time and she loved country music. I wished I had watched some of these videos with her. She would have loved them. I love reading the comments of all the people on here and the stories of their lives. I grew up in upstate NY and this music takes me back to the hot summer days and nights in the 70's at my grandparents and watching Hee-Haw, or any number of the variety of shows on at the time (Donny and Marie, Sonny and Cher, etc.) and seeing all the music acts. Who knew we had it so good? Keep the stories coming. I love reading them.
I'm 70 years old and my generation Knew how to make music. I'm proud of my generation. I lived the best days. I was born at the right time. The generation now they have nothing. There's nothing to remember and kids being born. Today are born into nothing but problems.
Dewi, there are also a lot of kids with great resilience and skills who are seriously kicking goals and contributing to the world. ty 4 ur gr8 music Glen
A while ago I was playing golf at Arizona Country Club. We had a foursome and there was this twosome waiting behind us. It was Glen Campbell and the local pro. Glen was a total gentleman.
Otherwordly music written by Jimmy Webb and sang by Glen. This song meant much to me when it first came out. I cried every time I heard it, it was so relatable to me. My boyfriend left me, and I was devastated..............but in time he came back. And married me. I love happy endings.
I know I was an exception. When I was in the Marines, when everyone else kept pictures of family and current pictures of early '70's rock and roll stars in their rooms, I had a picture of Glen Campbell. I used to dream of being like the "Rhinestone Cowboy". Unfortunately, reality set in and the dreams were all that were left. Thank you, Glen, for my dreams. RIP.
I was fortunate to attend a tribute concert by Jimmy Webb, before Glen passed away. Jimmy told stories of how he first met Glen, and how they became such close friends afterwards. Jimmy is a very talented singer-songwriter.
June 2024 and still checking out this performance, sounds superb from Glen Campbell and this fine orchestra .Glen was the real deal and sadly missed 🎶🎙️🎸🕺🏻🌟🎧
My favorite song by Glenn Campbell is "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". He makes my skin crawl when I hear him sing it. He has a certain cry in his voice that sends chills to every fiber of your body. You're the best Mr. Campbell, I love you...❤
Growing up in the Philippines, I first heard of Glen from his hit song Rhinestone Cowboy. From there I found out more about his other songs and great guitar talent. So sad watching the documentary about his life fighting the disease that took his life. Rest easy, Mr. Campbell!🙏
I love listening to Glen. I always smile when I hear him sing but there is always a little sadness because he is gone now. Such a bad end for a great talent. I MISS HIM.
The only thing wrong with this song is that it ends
Right u are .
Amen
Exactly!

I’m nearing the end of my life and every time I listen to this song I’m reminded of my youth. Mom and dad were alive and my brothers and sister were living at home. I feel like I was born at the right time. To the future I say this. “ Enjoy the music my generation left you”.
Right on. I am the same and I am. Cheers.
God Bless you
Amen. This music is timeless... forever etched in our hearts.🌷

I think we had the best of it, but I dare say the current generations will feel the same.
Those of us who grew up with this man...are forever enriched...yes we are. Thanks, Glen.
So true!!!!

You can only say one thing about Glen Campbell. The Best.
A Sad Song beautifully sung by the Master. 😢😅
Timeless music. The world is missing a classic vocalist. His music takes me back to my childhood days. RIP Glen.
Such sadness and loneliness in a few lines. Jimmy Webb is an amazing storyteller
agree, spot on
mr. webb was a genius
I love that Jimmy Webb wrote the first two verses of "Wichita Lineman," and Glen and his band just went into the studio and recorded the incomplete song as-is. Jimmy was stunned when Glen told him, "oh, yeah, we finished that recording" while Jimmy was still working on a bridge and third verse.

I found an old friend tonight. How I’ve missed Glen Campbell’s music. Haven’t listened to these songs in maybe thirty-forty years. ❤️❤️❤️
This is the only kind of music I listen to anymore.
The Orchestra is Absolutely Magical
I saw Glen in concert at a casino showroom, maybe late 70’s or early 80’s and he was tossing out a few signed frisbees; I didn’t catch one but wanted it so badly, I offered $100 to someone who caught one . To this day, my husband mocks me for it but I still have the frisbee!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I'd be thrilled with that frisbee!
King of melancholy. Takes me back to my childhood hearing his songs on a car AM radio. Always remembered every lyric so I could sing it to myself.
His songs were Amazing. Watched him the other day in true grit with John Wayn. RIP Glenn ❤

June 2024 and still checking out this performance, sounds superb from Glen Campbell and this fine orchestra .Glen was the real deal and sadly missed 🎶🎙️🎸🕺🏻🌟🎧
This man was genius
I will quote, once again, the great Waylon Jennings.
"Glen Campbell has more talent than any one man outa have."
My favorite song by Glenn Campbell is "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". He makes my skin crawl when I hear him sing it. He has a certain cry in his voice that sends chills to every fiber of your body. You're the best Mr. Campbell, I love you...❤
That’s a beautiful song. Wichita lineman is a favorite of mine
I love Glen Cambell's By the Time I get to Phoenix. It makes me teary-eyed!
You are missed Glenn. Your music touches my heart and soul...
Growing up in the Philippines, I first heard of Glen from his hit song Rhinestone Cowboy. From there I found out more about his other songs and great guitar talent. So sad watching the documentary about his life fighting the disease that took his life. Rest easy, Mr. Campbell!🙏
🙏
he was one of a kind. RIP
He was so honnest and maybe one of the best guitar players ever !
This song brings us closer to our parents -who loved this.The World misses the incredible Glen Campbell! Superb Singer & Guitarist.
This is probably the best love song ever written.
ONE OF THEE MOST GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS THAT AMERICA WAS ABLE TO WITNESS AND ENJOY AND LOVE
I love listening to Glen. I always smile when I hear him sing but there is always a little sadness because he is gone now. Such a bad end for a great talent. I MISS HIM.
simply one of the best records of all time - glen nails it
RIP Glen Campbell....such a great performer🎸🎶🌟
Grew up listening to Glen's fab music and it is still brilliant today. RIP Glen.
I saw him so many times on TV when I was a kid. He was on almost every week on one show or another. Truly one of the greatest ever!
Never get old
I remember laying on the living room floor of my grandmas house listening to this on the record player
Thank you Glen and Jimmy Webb for writing these timeless gems 👏👏
Glen could have been a ROCK STAR.....LOL... MISS THIS DUDE
