    Asia & BJ, you’ll love his "Gentle on My Mind", "Galveston" and “Rhinestone Cowboy”!!!
    He was a great guitar player who played with the legendary Wrecking Crew.
    He had a long running TV variety show called 'The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour'

    The original version by Richard Harris is the best, to me. I remember when it came out, and I really liked it even as a rock 'n roll teenager in the 60's! This cover isn't bad, and the one by Donna Summer is good, too. Powerful voice! I'm just a traditional kinda guy...age, I guess! Thanks for your interest in this song!

    • @bestintuba
      @bestintuba Před 3 měsíci

      You should watch the July 1977 Live Version with Jimmy Webb and Arthur Fiedler with the Boston Pops orchestra. That by far, beats this version and any other versions for that matter.

    Glen Campbell played guitar and/or sang backup vocals on over 500 albums in 1963 alone. He was one of the greatest guitarist and singers of our time.

  • @TheHighestGood

    Jimmy Webb wrote this. He and Glen Campbell collaborated on over 100 songs together.

    @victorcowboywest Před rokem +6

    Written by Jimmy Webb, originally sung by Richard Harris in 1968,reaching number two on the Billboard charts. Also ,the Four Tops, Donna Sumner,Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr. and instrumental Maynard Ferguson .

    • @htim8997
      @htim8997 Před rokem +2

      Also Andy Williams, Waylon Jennings, and The Assembled Multitude; and that's just in my playlist. Another great version available on CZcams is from Late Night with David Letterman, with house band member Will Lee taking vocals, and Jimmy Webb himself sitting in on piano.

  • @lazaruslong8092
    @lazaruslong8092 Před rokem +4

    As noted, this has been covered by several artists. Strongly recommend listening to it by Donna Summer, emotional and really shows off her vocal abilities. Best version in my humble opinion.

  • @quixote6942
    @quixote6942 Před rokem +4

    It was First recorded by Richard Harris (the Original DUMBLEDOR in the Harry Potter Movies). Richard used a much heavier Instrumentation in His version, with a much more "60's" feel to it!

  • @wesleygalvin9983
    @wesleygalvin9983 Před rokem +2

    My favorite version is Glen performing live with Jimmy Webb, probably recorded in the 70's. Glen does a fantastic guitar solo, very inspiring version. On the other hand, I also love Donna Summer's disco take on the song.

  • @kellyjohnson3617

    Donna Summer also covered this song, but the best version I remember was sung by Richard Harris. His vocals were so crisp and emotional. Lol, you said it reminded you of a 70's soap opera. I was thinking it reminded me of a 70's film like "Love Story"

  • @bobblethreadgill4463
    @bobblethreadgill4463 Před rokem +2

    This song has been recorded by many people. It was written by Jimmy Webb & was first recorded by Irish actor & singer Richard Harris in 1968. Waylon Jennings did a version in 1969 & Donna Summer covered it in 1978.
    Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. He had a lot of hits such as "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Gentle On My Mind", "Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife", "Galveston", "Try A Little Kindness", "Rhinestone Cowboy", etc. Sadly he got Alzheimer's later in life.

    Wow… I don’t think I’ve seen so many comments like this before… it looks like I missed the mark on this one big time. It was one of my favorites of his, and I hoped others would like it too. And Glen is a phenomenal artist that many people love.
    Yes, it’s a cover… covers can be nice in their own right.
    Yes, Glen Campbell has other better-known songs. But they’ve already played a lot of them.
    Yes, the live version is better. But they are unable to play live videos during the live streams.
    The live streams are usually based on a theme and songs are chosen based on that theme. Join in on the live streams with us and you will hear some amazing music! And, you can contribute your own song choices for them to hear!

    This song was covered by Donna Summers but, I have to say that I actually like this version best. Glen Campbell is very missed, a great guitarist and talent. Glen put out some really great tunes in his time like, "Galveston", "Wichita Lineman", "Gentle On My Mind", "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and what I think is my most favorite of all, "Where's The Playground Susie". This was a bit of a surprise, I didn't know he actually did this song, glad I got to hear it and realize that I like it better than Summer's version. Thanks for this reaction, it was awesome!

    If you two want to see a really cool ass Glen Campbell performance. Check out Glen Campbell performs the William Tell Overture (acoustic). it will blow you away and you should recognize the song. Was used as the theme for The Lone Ranger back in the day. There is an electric version but I think the acoustic is better and more impressive. Andy Williams also has a nice version of this song.

    A lot of covers of this song. An instrumental by Maynard Ferguson has an awesome trombone solo and cool mix of saxophones in the upbeat section. I don't recommend it for you because his is more than nine minutes long.
    Do the 1968 Richard Harris original, and dive into the lyrics.

  • @donaldcoffey800

    This song was originally recorded by richard harris, if you listen to his recording, you will find that he didn't have the vocal range to do it justice, and niether do I. Not dissing him, just making a point that glen had more than enough vocal range for any song.

    If you're going to do a classic song, why wouldn't you do the original version, especially if that song has been covered by dozens of people over the years. Jimmy Webb's beautiful song was first recorded in 1968 by Richard Harris, an actor who was famous for Lawrence of Arabia, Camelot and Harry Potter (Dumbledore) among dozens of others. I love Glen Campbell and many others who have covered it but Harris' is the version that inspired them all. Originals people, originals. Let's go.

    Glen's live versions of this really are better....The orchestra is drowning him out, his voice should be front and center. On the live version he shreds the guitar proving he can crush the competition. really background singers are annoying in this, they were NOT needed and only elevated this to...elevator music status...really a corny version, and I'm an old man from that era....but a trained musician. they skipped the entire instrumental section.
