Complications from Alzheimer's Disease.... that would have been difficult for his family and friends.

He was one of the good ones.

I've been listening to his 5 most popular songs (Gentle On My Mind, Witchita Lineman, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Galveston & Try A Little Kindness) from this concert in the truck for months now. The symphony adds a whole new dimension. Most don't know what a great guitarist he was.

Good songs, but you forgot "Gentle On My Mind".

One of his best, I always thought but that's just me.

I always liked his songs, but was very disappointed with him when saw him and Tanya in Hawaii. He was loaded with drugs could hardly stand on the stage. Little Tanya sung her heart out and saved the show.

Unhappy R.I.P. Glen

I always thought Witchita Lineman was one of his best - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egNHPnrtY_8

Thumbs up Glen Campell

Glen was one of the best 'crossover' (Pop/Folk/CW) artists there has ever been!

They don't make them like Glen anymore.

We are the lesser, for his passing.

Not to mention he was an original member of the ''Wreckig Crew'' too.
He could not read music, but he could play it by ear...my Dad played guitar the same way.
could'nt read music, but play it once or twice and he was good to go.
RIP Mr Campbell.
