God what a beautiful song. The opening line... "Its knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk." For anyone who has ever loved another person, you will know what those words mean. Bless you Glen Campbell.
Again...and unexpectedly...I am moved by Davids words on Glens work.
davidhertzberg Beautiful.
Beautiful song. He sings it so perfectly. And yes, those lyrics are amazing. I really love the version where Tom Hartman And Glen sing together on his show. Prob my fav one.
Bless John Hartford who wrote this song.
This song makes me think of my dad he plays and sings this song it means alot to me
What I love is that you can understand every word he's singing.
I love that too.
Glen was a master of wordy songs his diction was amazing and he always had the feeling of the emotion of the lyrics in his voice and his pickin' of the guitar. He was a 9 level singer and a 10 level guitar player. Rare most singers play as a novelty or a image.Elvis great voice only maybe a simple three chord route player on guitar.
Amen!!!!!You don’t have to listen to it 100 times to figure out what they’re saying. Right on
Think that is why people love some of his songs, he can sing pretty, which is hard to do.
not to be underrated in the last half-century of musical and song development, that's for sure!
One of the greatest guitarist of all time
A lot of greatest guitarists lists forget to mention him.
Actually, the Greatest, at least in my mind.
When Eddie Van Halen asks for a lesson you know how great he was
Alice cooper who was his golf buddy once said that Eddie Van Halen asked Alice if he could get him some lessons from Glenn. True story
Songs like "Gentle On My Mind" remind me of great times when my hair was jet black and my heart was hitting on all eight cylinders. My hair has turned white, five heart attacks but thank God, I am still around to enjoy music like this. Oct 26/2014.
God bless you Oscar!
God bless you
Beautiful . Hope you’re still listening ❤️❤️
Oscar, I hope you are still enjoying some good ole Glen songs.
I am moved by what you said. God gives us music and Glen Campbell through the good and rough passage of life. God bless you with peace and good health. 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
I'm 66 now, and think, they just don't make artists, music, and people like this anymore. Feel sorry for today's young people, they will never experience clean and beautiful performers such as Glen, it just makes me soooooooooooooo sad, anyone has a time machine to take me back to the 50's and 60's ???????????
No pyrotechnics. No snorkel shots. No twerking backup dancers. Just pure talent. Beautiful. RIP buddy.
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
I agree...it is one of the most beautiful. Did you know that John Hartford, the songwriter, wrote this song in about 15 minutes? Incredible! Thanks for your comment.
BringBackMyYesterday There is a video of Glen and John playing on a front porch of a home down in Mississippi. A masterpiece of a video. Thanks for posting this one.
botifigus I believe I have seen the video you are referring to, but I have never been able to locate a copy of the entire show on VHS or DVD. Such a shame because, as you posted, it is a masterpiece of a video filmed on location!
For others who may like to see this video of Glen and John playing in Mississippi, here is the original video link on CZcams: czcams.com/video/m_heX9IawYE/video.html Others have bootlegged it, but the quality remains the same. Such a shame!
I'm a feminist and I LOVE the lyrics...always have...This song reminds me of my late father....and alot of myself...:)
Glen Campbell was one of a kind. He captured everybody’s attention by his unique talent. May he Rest In Peace. His music will be everlasting!
In 1984 I Saw him and his young wife and baby at the Nashville airport. I stood back and gave them the space/respect they deserved. One of my prouder moments.
Man, It doesn't get better than this. Real talent.
You're young and healthy again now, Glen, and I know you're sweetly singing with the angels. Thank you for your music; through it you'll live on forever. RIP, and prayers for your loved ones.
Who needs a recording studio when you sound this good.
Today, Glen Campbell passed away a year ago- August 8, 2017. God bless him and his family.
In a more peaceful time... in America, we would watch his T.V. show on Sunday nite. I still like his music 50 years later. Thanks Glenn.
" realville resident" late 60’s peaceful?
I love glenn cambell
Peaceful Song? Most certainly. Peaceful time? Not so much
@@radar0412 Yeah. 1967-68 were very tumultuous times in the US.
When did Glen pass away ? I thought he was still alive, he had a great 👍 Show my Mom and Dad liked his show also.
RIP Glen. Today the entertainment world lost a true legend! Glen Campbell did it all. He sang, played guitar, had a hit tv show, acted in Hollywood movies, just a great personality and star.
Yes. The one and only Glen Campbell. What a song! RIP Mr. Campbell.
Hello dear how are you doing over there ?
Man, we had some great music back then . Sad to see what passes for music today .
Elvis had the height of respect for Glen. They both were good friends.
Too date, this is his best live version I have listened to. It's fast 'up' tempo as he always said it should be but he sings across the music bars with ease and added space. Such poignant lyrics sung with pure Country Soul
In the 70s I was with my mom and dad in the front few rows at a concert at a horse race track (Arlington Park in IL) seeing Mr. Campbell singing this song when I was about 7 years old. I remember it vividly.I am 52 now and play and sing this song every day and will until my last day on this planet
Thank You Glen, your music will always be in the back-roads by the rivers of my memory forever gentle on my mind.
+"Billion Dollar" Hearn God Bless Glen and his family...
Yes!
copy that
The best country musician in the world ever. Love you Glen!!!
THE GREAtest
We played this song at my Grandads funeral, several years ago and it still cracks me up every time I hear it. No other rendition comes close to Glens.
How could anyone dislike this classic!
Who can play guitar that well and sing that well? None other than Glen Campbell!
+Richard Hecht Hear! Hear!
+Richard Hecht Look up his rendition of the William Tell Overture. It is awesome.
Amen !
Richard Hecht
me!
I was 8 years old in 69 and will always remember this song. Thank You Glen. Rest In Peace.
I’m 55, one of my favorite songs without question. Talent that is timeless. Thanks Glen!!
Always a perfect musical combination, Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb. This a great song penned by John Hartford. RIP Glen.
The pure beauty of American country music. God bless Glenn Campbell!
I love Glen Campbell. It breaks my heart to know that he's can't remember himself any longer, but thanks to people like you -- we can keep him forever in our "minds." :)
I remember listening to the car radio when this song came on. My heart leaped w/joy & I turned up the volume. Way up. Love Glen's rendition of this classic. TY for the musical legacy you left us, Glen. We loved you then, we love you now & you're sorely missed.
☘💚🌱
Glen Campbell was GENUINE and AMAZINGLY TALENTED artist. May he rest in peace.
This song is just beautiful...it's got that rare magic to it and I think it absolutely lives up to the title. It has this odd soothing power to it--no matter how frazzled or upset or angry I am, this song seems to calm me down and give me a bit of peace.
This song was dedicated to me by an old love and it has a special place in my heart.
Oh this gave me the chills! I love this song.
Exactly what Glen would want. Nice angle. Love it.
Boo bear x Im 44 and no one has ever dedicated a song to me.
Boo bear x yup
Every time listening to this beautiful song will give me goosebumps.
Glen Campbell was a true gift from God in every way possible
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
Another classic Glen Campbell song. On August 8 2017 Glen Travis Campbell died due to the effects of Alzheimer's Disease. He will be greatly missed. RIP
I have performed for 35 years. I have been asked to perform on the Red Carpet of the World Premier of "Ill be me". I do a couple of his songs on a regular basis, In preparing for this special night, I have studied Mr. Campbell and his life with every resource I have. Gotta say, I am blown away by the way this man can deliver lyrics. Jimmy Webb is an amazing song writer. Mr. Haggard was absolutely correct when he said, "if ever too much talent was put into one body, it would be Glen Campbell." I am honored to do this. God Bless you Mr. Campbell.
Congrats, Mike! What an honor for you!
Great quote from Merle! Thanks for sharing!
Glen Campbell was one of the all time great guitar players...a studio guitarist and one of the legendary Wrecking Crew!
I've always loved listening to Glen. Just pure simple music, nothing fancy.
Still remember watching his show as a 10 year old kid.
Good memories.
Glen Campbell's signature song. Beautiful tune. Thank you Glen - you will be missed!
Who in their right mind would dislike this song , when music actually meant something , rip glen!!
You did it, fans! Over 900,000 views as of September 16th, 2016! Thank you for honoring Glen Campbell by watching this special performance and sharing it with your friends!
BringBackMyYesterday He's the best isn't He... so talented as all U fans are... stay that way & pray 4 America.
RIP glen campbell. thank you for so many great songs. god bless!!!!!

@BringBackMyYesterday. 2022 and counting.
Older music like this always hits my soft spot and brings me to tears, southern nights and this song are just pure bliss
lord mercy..could this be more perfect? His voice is silky smooth. His guitar playing is brilliant. I remember very distinctively planting myself on our shag carpet with my nose practically to the screen watching Mr. Glen and The Goodtime hour. I didn't move a muscle as I would watch and listen to him sing these beautiful songs written by the Brilliant Jimmy Webb. It just could not get any better!
Glenn Campbell is singing to each of us...and all of us...what an artist...what a performer....thank you, Mr. Campbell...I grew up listening to your music and even now, I still listen....
This song was made for glen...no one else could ever sing this..am sure he is up in heaven singing this...rip glen
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
GLENN IN THE PRIME OF HIS LIFE. ABSOLUTELY HANDSOME!!
The hours spent playing Glen Campbell songs can't be counted.....first my Aunties, then me, then my daughters. Tonight, sometimes tears, sometimes smiles. Glen Campbell, incomparable! Thanks for the memories!
I had to watch Glen sing today after hearing of his passing. What a treasure he was!
Love Glen Campbell. Talented ain't the word.
Always loved this guy. I remember in his later years, he had some public displays that were not so pleasant. It came from a place of great pain. No matter I still loved him. There was always a sense of joy that he wanted to impart through his art. For that I will always be thankful…
You're not shackled by forgotten words and bonds anymore Glen. Fly high, thank you for everything you gave us. We will love you forever.
I always liked ever gentle on my mind by Glen Campbell
RIP Glen .... loved your music as I was growing up..... (sheds a tear)
Thank you Glen for many years of pleasure also your daughter a great legacy to be so proud of RIP
I hope Glen's family knows how much he is really missed. I've been a fan since 1971.
I knew it was coming, however, I've been dreading this day.
The only comforting thing is he is now free of that awful illness,
I've got a signed photograph of Glen on my wall and around 8 of his albums so I certainly am a fan and today I can see me playing his wonderful songs that always make me long to revisit America!
Now Rest In Peace Glen and thank you for the songs and memories.
I am jealous lol. Glen was a big part of my childhood. This song ranks high because you simply feel better after hearing it play.
Love this song, and especially love John Hartford who wrote it who has always been one of my top five favorites
+Barb Chumbler I got to see John Hartford play here outside of Philadelphia, what a great entertainer he was. Love
Glenn's version too.
+Barb Chumbler John was a very dear friend. Missing him tonight.
my kids grew up listening to glen we all love him and its so sad about his awful illness god bless you buddy
😞😞😞another good one gone! RIP Glen! I will forever be a fan of yours❤
Gentle On My Mind makes me think of a special friend that is far away. I love this song.
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
Man,, Glen Campbell so own this song. I've heard a few rendition of it, and even by the originator John Hartford ( tho he does it great ) , it's STILL Glen's version I'd preferred . RIP Mr. Campbell..
ponchai allen this is the version that i go to first.
R.I.P. Glen Campbell. Great guitarist with a great voice!
Glenn Campbell was a one of a kind musician. And a sweetheart of a man. Never be another.
How I adored him then! How I adore and pray for him now. We met before he went to CA on his own. He is a very nice guy. God's speed, Glen.
Thank you for sharing your connection with Glen, Carol!
☺
Hi, Carol, thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind
comment. I help to run the Glen Campbell Forums and we would really love to hear more about Glen's early years--where he performed, what songs he sang at that time, who he performed with, etc.... I am assuming you knew him when he was living and working in Albuquerque? If you would like to read (and hopefully post) about these years on Glen's forums, here is the URL: www.GlenCampbellForums.com. Hope you'll visit us on the web. All the best to you, Dee
BringBackMyYesterday i think what you are doing is great.Glenn has so much talent and history,there's just a whole lot to forum about i guess.
I met Glen when he made a stop in Pasadena, TX. His brother (s) were working in construction in Houston. He was on his way to CA to sign on with a recording label. I could see why CA wanted him. Nice guy. Beautiful voice.
Man, this has always been on the short, short list of 'songs I wish I wrote'
Good lord what a pearl of a song!
Agree..
Growing up my dad used to belt out Glen and I used to think, bloody hell dad what's that racket. But as I grew older I came to realize that my old dad was right. Glen Campbell is was and will for ever be one of the great American singer song writers. Came up the hard way and learnt how to be the best by playing with the best. RIP big man.
My friends , my army buds, my family, and those beautiful girls I have known. I love you alll thank you Glen .
Rest In Peace Mr Campbell. YOU will always be gentle on my mind.
Hello dear how are you doing over there ?
Glen long after you have departed this earth your music will live on.You were I beleive put on this earth to be an entertainer you did your job well in particular this song Gentle on my mind, My favorite listened to it 6 times today quite sentimental to me.Thank you Glen
This is how we love to remember the late great Glen Campbell.
glen songs helped me keep my sanity when serving in VN for 19months I concentrated on his stories in each song, it helped me look Foward to coming home and I am home
Congratulations to Glen Campbell and Julian Raymond on their 2015 GRAMMY AWARD and Academy Award Nomination. Glen remains gentle on our minds as he continues to break ground. His documentary will be released by CNN in June and November 2015!
His songs remind me so much of someone who goes through life from one relationship to another, always searching for some Godly answer to his spiritual curiosity, never settling down in one place. I guess some people are meant to go through life with transient relationships, so that when God calls on them for a special favor they are available to oblige him in whatever he needs...
You are right but I believe that when that occurs that's mans doing and, it is far from divine intervention because it is better to remain single than to wound others due to constantly and easily growing restless.
To my dear companion through many years, so many journeys, rivers of my memory and those roads less travelled.. to the ones I loved and who loved me.. always gentle on my mind ~~ Glen Campbell ever smiling!
Miss you so much, Glen Campbell!! 🙏🌹🎵
2018 and still listening... The best wind in your hair and sun upon your face song EVER! Rest in Peace Glen
Inadequate words to convey my love and appreciation of this marvelous musical talent.
Rest in Peace, Glenn. How many moments of pleasure you have given me cannot be measured!
I saw Glenn Campbell live. What a privilege! And I saw John Denver and merle haggard live. I saw oak Ridge boys live. All gave great performances at different times. I saw a few others.
You have seen some of the best of the best! Great memories to cherish!
A country legend. And even though he was not the greatest actor, one of my top 5 favorite movies is still today - True Grit. The original one of course, the one with Bridges just sucked.
Gung Ho Vids I agree...the original True Grit is the best! After acting in True Grit, Glen Campbell said this line many times on stage and in interviews: "I made John Wayne look so good in a movie that he won his only Oscar!" :)
BringBackMyYesterday Yea, I could watch that movie over and over - John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Kim Darby, and Robert Duvall. Lot of great character actors in that movie also. But Glen Campbell made it special. He was a bit stiff but still did a ok job. The saddest part IMHO is when Rooster says... "Damn Texican,saved my life twice and the second time he was dead!" Thanks for posting this video. I gave it a thumbs up of course.
Gung Ho Vids Thanks for sharing the saddest part for you. As a kid seeing this film for the first time, I was devastated that Glen Campbell's character had died! Thanks so much for the thumbs up on this video. The fan support for it has been tremendous!
BringBackMyYesterday I subscribed, and I don't do that very often. Keep uploading.
Gung Ho Vids Will do! Thanks so much for subscribing, I am honored! BTW, you may like a channel by the name of "Glen Campbell Forums" here on CZcams. Friends of mine have uploaded RARE Glen Campbell videos to this channel and will continue to do so over time. Also, if you haven't seen this channel, it's another FANtastic one for Glen fans: "breautube". Enjoy!
Beautiful song from brilliant artist.
I was 5 when this song was tops! Glen is a great song writer and musician!
Glen will forever be one of the all-time greats.
This song brings back some of my happiest memories. He was such a talented man, great voice and a real guitar virtuoso.
What a great song and what a fantastic singer.
My grandfather introduced me to glen campbell and im so glad he did. Legend
One of the most forgotten guitar GENIUS of all our time. GENIUS I say. Give a listen!!!
May 17, 1967 - Glen Campbell records "Gentle On My Mind," written by John Hartford and arranged by Leon Russell, at the Capitol Recording Studio in Hollywood, CA. :)
I grew up watchin' variety shows starring Glen Campbell, Sonny and Cher, Flip Wilson, Johnny Cash, and Carol Burnett. I feel sorry for the kids today and their stupid fckn reality shows.
me too
Me three..
Good memories...
Mac Davis and Barbara Mandrel too!
Reality shows appeal to those with limited intellect.
A great artist that I do not listento enough.His music,voice and work are terrific.Way thumbs up and all the best to his family.For-ever Glenn Campbell.
The bittersweet beautiful poetry in this song is the very best.
You can tell what a great artist he is the way he is able to capture the melody of a lyrically full song and not miss a note or get off track or out of synch. What a great song. Just heard it today and to watch it on CZcams. Surprised this one passed me by before.
One of the all time greats. My favorite song by him.
One of the best songwriters and guitarists of all time. RIP!
One of my all time favorites, that guitar should be in a museum.
Thanks for your comment. That guitar is sadly no longer in the same state you see in this video. It changed hands long ago, was abused, all the red paint flaked off, and then the owner (?) tried to sell it on an online US auction site in 2017 or so. A travesty!
❤️Glen Campbell & all his songs!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
Glorious voice of an angel, Glen. xx
This is one of the songs I wish I had written. What makes it memorable is the lyrics. Not too many acoustic tunes possess such poetic storytelling.
God bless you Glen. Thank you for your music gifts. You'll never be forgotten.
