      Yes!!!!! Exactly!!!!! I've been watching Glen Campbell videos steadilly now for over a month (it's Sept 14 2017) and time and time again I find myself just sitting back and absolutely in awe........of all of it, but especially how pure and natural........whether he is singing, playing or talking in an interview.(check out the videos of Glen Campbell talks with John Tesh, Glen Campbell talks with Dan Miller and Glen Campbell, Then and Now).......such an honest, humble, gifted, pure and natural man. No nonsense, no pretense, I would imagine that even the best of them rather envy that about him.....not in a negative way but sit in quiet awe like the rest of us with a lump in their throat, keenly aware that this is one of a kind, never to pass this way again, and more grateful than ever to have lived during his time. I'm SO thankful to have his music that lives on and all of these videos, to keep the memories of this legend with us for all time. I know he lives eternally in heaven now, but it is a sad goodbye and somehow he will remain here in our hearts forever.

    Age and illness does not discriminate. All that Glen Campbell was able to accomplish vocally and instrumentality was amazing. A immensely talented and gifted musician who like most of us here were able to see and hear this master musician because the technical advances in multimedia. As Glen's final days play out we must Thank God that we have been blessed beyond measure by this musical master!

I’m about 10, the sun seemed to always be shining, my mom, in her polyester outfit and headscarf, is smoking a butt and talking on the rotary phone while these songs play in the background. My house is sprinkled in browns, orange and puke yellow colors. Everyone has bad clothes and shag haircuts... but my God, the music was amazing! Thank you, Mr. Campbell for the soundtrack of our lives. RIP.

    Watching Glen age is both sublime and heartbreaking ... odd and wonderful how his fans came out again and again to hear him play, even when he was forgetting the words to his songs. He was so loved for his heart and his songs that he could share his music and himself throughout his entire life, until the very end. Bless him and his fans. One of the great guitar players of all time.
    All my best to his wife and his family.
    Thank You, Glen ...
    You'll never be forgotten.

      Well said! He's Top 5 of all~time in my opinion, because he could play ANYTHING! All his classic studio work in the late 60's from Sinatra to Elvis to anybody who was big, Mr. Campbell backed them up on his " Ax!" His show ran for 5 seasons I believe?? I am now 54 and remember those good times as a little boy!! God bless' Glen.

      @@depaola63 He nor you none of us Walked a Mile in Elvis Shoes like Elvis says in one of his Songs. Nobody had the World on their World on there shoulder's like Elvis Presley. Gen was good but he was not on Elvis's Level in No way shape or form. even in Elvis last Concert Tour he should of been in the Hospital less than 6 Weeks from Death. And he Hit Notes in Hurt, How Great Tho Art, and many more Gospel Songs and others that were in Opera Range. Dude you have No idea as his Voice was at it's peak power but they worked him to Death. Nobody worked the Schedule Elvis Presley worked and that's Facts. Rather go out in a blaze of Glory than go out as an old Man who don't remember anything or anyone around him. That's a F-ed up disease that has taken many Friends and Family of mine. The person dies and you say Good-Bye 10 Year's or so before they Die. I would never want to see The King Elvis live and go out like that. He still went out on top selling out every Concert. It sucks he was so young as I wish I got to meet him. It was unreal going to Graceland in October 2016 WOW.
