Glen was one of the best studio musicians ever, Glen was a Beach Boy for a while, one of the times Brian Wilson who is a wonderful songwriter and singer in his own right!!! Went Nut Buckett !!! Glen, filled in for him in the studio also Glen played on other peoples recording in the 1960s. Later Glen had a Great Career of his own when I was very younger maybe 3 - 5 ? I was taken to Indianapolis by my Mother and one her long tome friends Wanda to Glen Campbell at an outdoor theater !!! My Mother and I went to the stage and my Mother and Glen talked for awhile !!! It was pretty cool one of my first concerts !!!

God gave this man a great talent, and he loved performing. He passed due to Alzheimer's, but fought (and performed) every step away. I was lucky enough to have seen one of his last performances, and he passed not to long after he "retired". It was truly amazing how his voice endured through the last performance. The world lost a wonderful talent when we lost him. RIP, Mr. Campbell! 😢💔
Master: guitarist, songwriter, singer, until the end. A true Legend. We lost him to Alzheimers...even when he couldn’t remembers words, he was still performing never forgetting the guitar licks.
He certainly was a great singer in so many areas of music..and a damn fine guitarist..sadly missed by so many music lovers..however we have his music to remember him by..Thanks mate for the reaction..Keep Strong Keep Safe My Dear Friend
Glen was involved in alot of recordings Ty! He was part of "The Wrecking Crew", session studio musicians who worked with alot of musical acts popularly known in the 60's into early 70's. The Monkees WERE one of those groups!
and also The Beach Boys, the Righteous Brothers,The Mamas and the Papas,The Carpenters, Frank and Nacy Sinatra and many more They also played on "River deep mountain high" by Ike and Tina Turner, "McArthur Park" by Richard Harris and "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel to name a few
@@StevenQ74 That's right, with the emphasis being on the "many more"! Definitely worthy to be on an "A Team" or "Dream Team" of musical artists! Rock On Steven!
Award winning songwriter Jimmy Webb wrote a trio of songs during the beginning of the Vietnam war for Campbell to sing, huge hits: Wichita Lineman Galveston By the time I get to Phoenix Ty, you would love, love all three!
I think strenghth lies in steadfastness. Parents need to be strong but fair. They are the boss. We got soft in the 80s and 90s. My parents were born in 1930. After greatest generation before baby boomer. Our affluence in general gave us entitlement. Into the 70s and 80s kids had to contribute money to the home or have no roof or food. I remember seeing kids getting a second soda out to eat. I was shocked. We had to work as a unit to survive not entitled isolated babies.
CAN'T hold a candle meaning...... The phrase can't hold a candle to has its roots in the 1600s, when the lowly apprentice to a master of a craft might only be fit to hold a candle in order to provide light for the master while he tends to a problem. An apprentice who was not even skillful enough to hold a candle for his master was worthless, indeed.
Here on UA-cam, there are remastered versions of both By The Time I Get To Phoenix and Witchita Lineman. The are both songs written by Jimmy Webb an awesome writer and Glen Campbell did fantastic jobs with both. They have been part of my life along with the lives of so many others for many years and may well be on my short list of what I'll want to hear from my deathbed. Check both out. It'll be time wonderfully spent. And I'll warn you now. You won't stop at one listen only.
He was a great singer and guitarist. Check out his version of the William Tell Overture. That is not a song someone should be able to play on a guitar. One of my top three favorite guitarist.
This is the same guy that did "Wichita Lineman." Didn't you react to that one? If not, you really should. This guy's guitar playing was astonishing. He was part of the Wrecking Crew and played with a lot of singers and bands.
Thanks for reacting my request, Ty! I debated as to whether or not I should’ve picked the song, but I’m glad I did. I know that this song belongs to Stevie, but this was a great cover 🙂.
@JJ F did it again! Glen Campbell is my sweetheart, and I love almost everything he does. I probably wouldn't have picked this particular song, but it does demonstrate what a consummate yet down-to-earth performer he is. The worst part was when they covered up his pretty face. Sigh. Ty, congratulations on learning how to say "Campbell"! :D
I think I woud contact them about your ads. This morning when I started watching this video, there was two ads at the beginning, my speakers was not working so I had to stop watching and fix the problem and then come back and start from the beginning. This time though, there was not any ads at the beginning. The preformer that people are the most critical about when it comes to others singing his songs is MJ, you always see comments like "There will never be anyone that is as good as him again" When I read that I'm thinking "yea, that's because ya'll are not willing to give anyone else a chance" Oh, I don't know if you have watched or done a video on "Living For the City" were Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder is singing it on stage or not. It a great video, I can watch it over and over again, Ray Charles is having a time of his life, you can tell he's really enjoying it. If you haven't watched it, check it out,
Glen and Stevie: ua-cam.com/video/0oSQn20V0m0/v-deo.html This is a great duet from 1969. What makes it even greater is reading the comments. Glen Campbell was never considered "cool," and many people never followed his career for that reason. Then after his death, people hit UA-cam to hear some of his hits, and found a whole lot more than they expected to find. Like me, they realized that they'd missed a consummate performer. A guitar god. An outstanding singer with an amazing range. An entertainer extraordinaire. And WHAT A HUNK! So, Glen was rediscovered by a whole new generation after his passing. For any of y'all who are curious about his many talents, search YT for his videos.
The origin of holding a candle: Apprentices used to be expected to hold the candle so that more experienced workmen were able to see what they were doing. Someone unable even to do that would be of low status indeed.
The Stevie Wonder song you are thinking of is actually called As ( with a line I'll be loving you always) and check out George Michael's version of As ❤
Most likely it was Glenn Campbell who played on Stevies album -He played guitar on thousands of songs without credit on the album. In 1962 (63?) he played on over 600 hit songs - Its a shame the tv people had to throw in all the fluff.
The first song of his that I remember listening to was Rhinestone Cowboy. He was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. You should watch some of his videos where he shows off on guitar. Between him, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, and others from that era, you’ll understand where some Rock n Roll artists got their ideas. Here he is playing the 1812 Overture on a 12 string electric guitar, played fast and clean (and maybe even something that inspired Stevie Ray years later!). ua-cam.com/video/jjTI4VRX39Y/v-deo.html
You must check out his duet with Stevie Wonder,a cover of Bob Dylans blowin in the wind.Glenn Campbell was a great singer and even better guitar player.
When I was 8 or 9 a drink driver ran my mother's car into a tree. I'm was in the middle of the night so we were all in bed, it never ended woke me up. The next day a man knocked on our door. He looked exactly like him. I started going nuts thinking it was the singer of my favorite song Rhinestone Cowboy. Nope it was just the drunk. I was so disappointed and he was so embarrassed.
This is what I found, old sayings sometimes seem obscure. I love finding the origin, sometimes they make perfect sense but become outdated because times are always a'changin', haha.! 😁😂 Origin: Before electric lights, someone performing a task in the dark needed a helper to hold a candle to provide light while the task was performed. ... Someone who is not even qualified to hold the candle is much less competent than the person performing the actual task.
Not being able to hold a candle to someone just means that whoever you're talking about will always be outshown by whoever you're comparing them to, but I guess you figured that out. In German we say "they could never pass them the water", which makes a lot less sense 😁
Glen Campbell was an awesome sing and he could really make a guitar sing. If you ever get the chance and you haven't already watched him play the William Tell Overture please do It was the tune used in the opening of The Lone Ranger. ua-cam.com/video/GUBhE00h9U0/v-deo.html

RIP to a GREAT PERFORMER with so much talent and I love that song as well so UPBEAT ✌ no matter who sings it
I love his song Galveston, and Wichita Lineman, Rhinestone Cowboy, and a bunch of others.
He had excellent guitar skills and looked like my dad. He was the sweetest man on his last tour.
He certainly was a great singer in so many areas of music..and a damn fine guitarist..sadly missed by so many music lovers..however we have his music to remember him by..Thanks mate for the reaction..Keep Strong Keep Safe My Dear Friend
So many good covers out there which is the hugest of compliment to any singer or songwriter to have someone cover their original. I reckon it’s great
This guy was a session guitarist for years. Beach Boys. Frank Sinatra and rockers. He is an excellent guitarist. It's a matter of preference.
Glen Campbell's instrumental "classical gas" is probably one of the greatest guitar songs of all time.
Glen Campbell was part of the Wrecking Crew session musicians in LA. He was amazing.

He has a unique voice. “Gentle On My Mind” is my favorite song he does.

Wichita Lineman
Galveston
By the time I get to Phoenix
Ty, you would love, love all three!
Saw him live, he played his guitar behind his back and played the hell out of it

You seldom hear Glenn Campbell singing like that, using the upper register.
The man's literally got an endless vocal range 😂
Those days seem like a completely different world, what's happened to today's world?
It was cute. Not my favorite version of this song, nor my favorite song for Glenn Campbell to sing, but it was still cute.
Such fun
Love Glen, never sang a song I didn't like. You should really try By The Time I Get to Phoenix by him.
Maybe the most talented guitarist ever. Could play any style.
So true! And he had a great voice too!
And gorgeous. Can't forget gorgeous. :)
