Glen Campbell RIP

[Beebo]

Been ill for a while, but still a great loss.
Such a great story teller with song.

I think the first single I ever got was Rhinestone Cowboy.

Vale, Glen.

(What a Scottish name! Never considered that before.)

Edit: At least in 1975, he could only just ride a horse .....

Takes me back to when I was young, sober and liked cheesy pop songs.
Happy days.

RIP Glen.

I do hope Neil Diamond's not next...

Well, he's going to die, but my guess is that there will be a few other people in between...

I have so much to say about Neil Diamond**.

But let's do that in another thread. Glen deserves a wee space for CC to mourn him.

**Edit: ok, so much to say about ND's influence on me. But still, for another thread. And hopefully not an R.I.P. one in the near future.

Rich, I have no doubt that you were a devastating smoocher.

R.I.P.

One of the great story tellers.

Wichata lineman is not a cheesy love song, quite the opposite.

Greg, I like you a lot, but we'll have to agree to differ over Neil Diamond... one of the dullest 'singers' of all time IMO :-/
Glen Campbell is in a different league...

Details, my dear chap, details!
Anyway, I said, 'cheesy pop', not 'cheesy love', love!

You sweetie. But I don't think it cheesy pop either. Maybe it's because I travel far from home often that it has a deeper resonance...,

As well as his own great songs, he is responsible for one of the all-time great cover versions...
