Remembering #GlenCampbell (playlist in bio link)
When you have a great voice, all you need is a great song. From the mid-'60s on, Glen Campbell found several stellar tunes, and a few of them, such as “Wichita Lineman” and “Galveston,” have become American classics. Deftly blending elements of country and pop, wisely deploying an agile vocal style that could teem with bravado or offer a fetching wistfulness, Campbell’s best work, which often meant his biggest hits, had a charm that was built on sage artistic designs. He died in Nashville on August 8 at the age of 81 after a public battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Entertainment-wise, the Arkansas native was a jack of all trades. As a kid he had a knack for the guitar, and by his teen years he’d left home to gig out West. When he hit LA in 1962, his skills were strong enough to earn him a spot in the famed “Wrecking Crew,” the studio ensemble responsible for backing a variety of artists that included the Byrds, the Righteous Brothers and Frank Sinatra. When Brian Wilson stopped touring with the Beach Boys, the band picked Campbell as his short-term replacement. By mid-decade, his talent was recognized by the mainstream. “Gentle On My Mind” kicked off a parade of hits that clocked classics such as “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Southern Nights.” Along the way he hosted a network variety show with a deep musical slant; it provided a stage to then-underheralded artists such as Willie Nelson.
In 2011 Campbell shared his Alzheimer’s diagnosis - he wanted audiences to know why things might occasionally go awry during his “Goodbye Tour” performances. His most dedicated fans didn’t care about momentary lapses; they were there for the bittersweet sparkle of “Wichita Lineman” and the other hits, a chance to offer a final thank you for the many sublime moments the singer gifted them with during the last half-century. - Jim Macnie
