GLEN CAMPBELL AND TANYA TUCKER ROMANCE - Their Stormy Relationship and Inevitable Breakup 

What is your favorite Glen Campbell song?

He gave her cocaine, she was not hooked on it before she met him, get your facts straight. Tanya, you are amazing, even today ❤️

Glen didn’t have a good track record with women. She’s was young & impressionable. She loved him & still does.

I really think they had such an Electricity together in the early 80s. Their performances were Electrifying and you could tell how much they loved each other by the way they looked at each other he was always holding her on stage a lot I really enjoyed them singing together and someone recently has posted a full concert of Glen in Reno in 1980 and Tanya comes out and they do about 5 songs together which were amazing the early 80s were my favorite of Glens. But as time went on it all worked out like the Lord seen fit Glen married Kim they had many years together and 3 kids and Tanya went on to have 3 kids of her own and when Glen Passed Tanya was so thoughtful even dedicated a song to him called Forever Loving You so it all worked out. God Speed Glen and may Tanya continue to have good health too.

I just discovered your channel and love the material you cover. It's nice that a younger person appreciates the great country artists of the past (not that I'm that old, but older than you).

One of my favorite stories involving Glen & Tanya was the time they were playing shows at the Houston Rodeo back in 1982 or '83. They had broken up, but both booked there with many great country artists including George Strait, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Merle Haggard and the Strangers, Bob Wills Original Texas Playboys (under the direction of Leon McAuliffe), Asleep at the Wheel and other acts. I knew various musicians in the Gatlin's band (their fiddle player), Hag's Stranger's (over half the band), and the Texas Playboys (I knew all of the guys in the band who were there) as well as a couple guys with the Wheel. This was an all-weekend event attended by well over 100,000 fans and the bands were all staying at the huge Holiday Inn just down the road from the venue. Somehow Tanya and Glen got together in a hotel room, there was lots of drinking, lots of coke snorted, wild sex and then things got ugly evidently because they destroyed the room and everything in it. They fought in the room, down the stairs, out in the parking lot, punching each other, kicking, yelling and screaming, spitting and cursing and Glen got on his bus and started to leave. Tanya, wild as a minx got in her tour bus and chased after Glen with it trying her best to run him over! In pursuit of Glen's bus, she drove her bus into the big swimming pool there at the Holiday Inn waking up the entire hotel full of guests at 3AM. The cops came and the fire department was called as well as paramedics because she nearly drowned in her own bus because it quickly sank, and it quickly began to fill with water, and she could not get the door opened. Firemen got her out thru the windshield which they had to break in order to rescue her. Glen escaped without injury or incident and was nowhere around when the cops came. She was treated for cuts and bruises she sustained mostly from her violent fighting with Glen. This story made the news briefly, but everyone was bored by Tanya and Glen stories by then.

Glen and Tanya. Yep. When the volcano met the hurricane

Good job!!

Tanya and Glenn relationship is a perfect example of when you’re young and you mistake great sex for love. She was 20 having sex with a 42 year old man. It happens. Moving forward, just remember the good times you had.

For him to blame her is bullshit!!

A very sad story..saw her in a recent interview .she still loves him..even after his death.😢😢

I’m sorry but guilty call me silly but I find Glen Campbell and Tanya Tuckers volatile 15 month relationship exciting to hear about . I heard Glenn Campbell‘s wife saying in an interview, in a very snappy voice, she described them as having a “hot five minutes”. I hardly call 15 months a hot five minutes. That was a relationship regardless. At least Tanya, adult now is not too proud to say Glenn was the love of her life. So sad it didn’t work out because they were a beautiful couple..on the outside at least. Drugs and alcohol will always ruin anything beautiful. I wouldn’t be surprised if not for the substance abuse they might still be together today. Not sure if anyone’s aware of this but even after meeting and dating his current wife, he still snuck away to see Tanya a few more times. They had an amazing chemistry. Eventually Glen called it quits. But the history of their magical and sometimes volatile love affair will always remain history. “Glen & Tanya”

Can't blame either.

U know the song, the words, the ride with u was worth the fall.

She said on Dan Rather interview 2016 that Campbell knocked out her two front teeth and she considered him the great love of her life.

Gentle on my Mind all time favorite had the privilege of seeing him in Nashville on the goodbye tour he will always be the best God Speed Glen.

Great together ❤

If you go away is a amazing song , an many more, he always sang the song from the heart, an it like a story in your own live, legend.

He is the older,44 years old and she was only 22 years old a beautiful young lady, I think I admire her alot more as I never knew he almost overdosed that is awful,well they were kinda addicted in areal toxic way ,damn that's awful oh he didn't trust Tanya well he was not so great and alot damn older,well she did mature and those drugs and drinking is infinity 💔 😔 😢 for anyone ,nothing can live in that,but you put any two people ,addiction to the sex and ohhj my well I listened to Tanya the other day she sang a song dedicated to Glehn Campbell and dedicated to Alzheimers research,so Glehn Campbell passed away and Tanya Tucker is still Beautiful ,never married probably wise and people still adore her,best wishes Tanya and Glenn Campbell's family and friends

I remember!!!!!!

It takes 2 to tango, I know, but in Glen's book he says his relationship w/Tanya was like "poison". That doesn't sound like love on either side in my book. Glen Campbell does admit he struggled w/cocaine & alcohol but wasn't a regular user. & let's not forget that no matter how Kim treated Glen in his later years, in the beginning thay Kim allowed God to use her to help Glen get off alcohol. She enlisted the help of corporate (church) prayer, very biblical! God changed Glen's life & I believe in the end he knew the God of his childhood as his Savior, the God he sought to worship @ a church down the road because his own church didn't allow music. This part is also in Glen's book. As for favorite songs for me: "Gentle On My Mind" & "Rhinestone Cowboy". I got to see Glen Campbell many times in the late '80s/early '90s in Reno, Nevada & Branson, Missouri @ the Grand Palace. This was when the Jeff Dayton Band (great band!) performed w/Glen & his daughter Debby would do duets w/him. This was also before he was diagnosed w/Alzheimer's. .Best performances of Glen during this time period! I still like Debby Campbell's singing & Ashley Campbell's singing also! You go ladies! Prayers are with you! Hope to see you in Massachusetts sometime!

I was a kid when they were a power couple, but I would always here, Rhinestone Cowboy, on the radio. Hearing about them later it looks like it was a coked up SL, with great chemistry. I never really remember her on the radio, but my teenage boyfriend later had a crush on her.

The moon's a harsh mistress one of my favorites from Glen(R.I.P)

Tanya was the best of the two and still is God bless her.

Glen ended up in JAIL in Dubuque Iowa... DRUNK ! He missed his concert and made a LOT of enemies. His popularity was in the trash.

Never knew.

I thought they were a very odd unlikely couple and honestly I never saw the appeal of Tanya at all.

Glen Campbell was twice her age and should not be pitied for having an affair with a girl that could have been his daughter, he knew full well what he was getting into….why its the woman who causes a man to go astray.. from what I understand, he had an affair with Mac Williams, wife, and married her, and then divorced her… I kind of think that this depiction of their life is biased towards feeling bad for Glen Campbell not that that should take away from his talent and abilities as a singer… People make choices and it’s not just one-sided in a relationship.

All history that I did not know......nor much care. But I totally enjoy Ashley's singing........ Was Tanya her mother? I'm way out of the loop, if this is obvious one way or another.

She loved him ! He didn’t her ! He was older more experienced . He should have looked after her! He used her!

You shouldn'd diss Tanya. He was no angel.

Glenn got Tanya on hard drugs..He was always a user ..

Her name is pronounced Ton-ya..not Tan-ya.

Try a little kindness

Not “TANYA” it’s “TONYA”

She aged very roughly.

They keep saying she’s beautiful, she is not.

Tonya is not pronounced Tanya!! Come on bro! 🫤

They say Glen faked his death and is living in Mexico with Tanya Tucker.

Why does everyone who sings HAVE to fix their teeth? Although, it sure does help her image.
