As a child I loved Glen Campbell's voice. I always said he had the sun in his voice as if to describe a feeling he gave that I couldn't describe any other way. A fantastic all round performer, guitarist, vocalist. God bless him.
He was first class by the way by what measure do you feel people underated him. .. that's nonsense.. everybody has likes and dislikes in entertainment as in most things
The magical talent of both Glen Campbell and the creator of this beautiful song: David Gates is very under appreciated! Our current World has lost touch with many things, but the one thing that could make life much better is Music. And like the lyrics to the great song by Don McLain American Pie it truly seems the Music has died! But to old schoolers like myself it shall live on!
David Gates under appreciated? Hardly. He had hit after hit in the 1970's. Aubrey, The Goodbye Girl, Everything I Own, The Guitar Man, It Don't Matter to Me, to name just a few.
I consider Glen Campbell to be one of the most underrated musicians of all time! He pours raw emotion into every syllable of every lyric. This rendition is a shining example of that.
he had perfect pitch, started guitar at five, and had an uncle who was a professional guitarist who tutored him. he also disinherited some of his children so he may not have been the world's greatest human. but he was one of the greatest musician/singers on the planet, no doubt.
The man was absolutely LOADED WITH TALENT. especially in singing lyrics and guitar pickin'. he sang some of the truly great ballads of the 20th century.
This is Glen at his very best surely, just his guitar for company, it could not get better than this. Fantastic musician and vocals. Missed by so many. RIP
Glen was the best entertainer of our generation! He was a talented actor too! I bought my first guitar from watching the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. Nobody had the smoothest voice of Glen Campbell!
He had such an outstanding voice really, none of the singers we hear lately can hold a candle against him. I had not heard this version of the song but it is great to hear and enjoy.
There are plenty of singers today who can hold a candle to him, you just aren't taking the time to listen. You are probably an old fart like me except I think it is clear there is a lot of musical talent out there. I'll be 62 shorty.
What a distinctive and unique singing voice. And his guitar playing ability is almost unmatched. As a seasoned session musician he could play any style effortlessly.
I had the extreme joy of meeting Glen Campbell years ago at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe Washington. More significantly, I was assigned the honor of introducing him to the packed audience awaiting his performance sponsored in part by the radio station I was employed with at the time, Young Country (KYCW 96.5 fm) As I was standing on the ramp leading to the stage I looked over my shoulder to see Glen casually walking alone, wearing his electric guitar and playing along with the Star Spangled Banner blaring over the fairground loudspeakers! No one would have ever known either, as he effortlessly joined in without missing a beat! After an awkward handshake negotiating the handrail (Over the rail or Under?) he actually 'introduced' himself and proceeded to converse as if we'd just seen each other yesterday. So genuine and generous.
As a European, Italian to be precise, Glen was never big here so he is not well known, but I'd like to say what a great person he must have been, not only as a singer but as a man. So many nice people deserved to belong to today and not have left so soon.
That Ovation guitar didn't do any justice to the song. They sound like toy guitars, unless they're plugged into an amp. Then they sound like electric guitars.
Its a rare human that can mute a few chords to where they are barely heard and sing a song along with them through a microphone with the beauty and perfection that is heard in this video.
She stole my heart , 4ever , when she sang this to me the night of my H S Prom in 1977. Her voice was that of an Angel, and still is . I will always luv & miss you Shanda.
Glen Campbell will always be a musical treasure. Watching and listening to this video is like looking at a precious item that has been stored in a time capsule.
Glen was a monumental talent. Beautiful version of a beautiful ballad. He did a lovely duet with David Gates in 1975 on a BBC TV special that's worth seeing.
Another beautiful song I'd never heard Glen sing. This is a simple song yet poignantly beautiful!! Like every note he played, every word he sung, Glen made it look so easy and totally effortless. Such a natural talent! RIP you beautiful man!
Glen Campbell, thank you God for Glen. 1st class, always a cut above, he was the American Beatle, at least. But what Glen did in the end, the Beatles nor Elvis fulfiled, and that was to turn to Jesus and be a good example of one forgivin and grateful, to the whole world. The calling he didnt miss.
It's amazing how we miss them like crazy when they've gone? But think they're here forever and never ever really appreciate them when they're here! But this gentleman will always be remembered because of his huge talent that he shared with us and we was so lucky here in England 🇬🇧 to have had him grace our stages whilst he toured Britain 🇬🇧 so thank you mr Glen Campbell and may you RIP ALWAYS AND FOREVER YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN 🎤🎸
My sister loved this song growing up. She always played this on her stereo. Listening to this brings back some great memories because my sister past away in 2012 and this song was one she wanted for her wedding when she got married.
I am sorry for your loss. One of my favorite songs too. First time I heard it was watching The Hardy Boys Mysteries in 78 or 79 when I was 13-14. Glen does a good version but David Gates is the master. Thanks for posting this.
I've grown to know Glen Campbell as a wonderful guitar player, singer and over-all great entertainer. I wish he was still able to be on stage and bringing us such joy.
A truly gifted artist not only in his guitar playing but in his vocals as well. I never followed Glen Campbell very closely growing up but am now finding out what I was missing. A true hidden treasure.
I am grateful that I've followed, appreciated and loved Glen through all his years, even the music I'd never known was his backing. Sadly, time flies so fast that it still feels like too many years were taken for granted. Wish I'd had a dose of Glen Campbell every day of my life.
I love his soulful voice, but I really like his guitar playing it’s always so spot on, he was a genius I look forward to seeing him again in the new world.
Damn! We just lost one of the purest and most sincere voices...one of the most magically and mind blowing guitarist...and one of the warmest and inspiriting entertainers we will ever know. Hiding among the credits, as a session player, he contributed brilliantly to so many one of a kind recordings. As a solo artist, tv host and movie star he shined so incredibly bright as millions welcomed Glen into their hearts and families. Glen Campbell, Thank you! Your light has inspired so many and will continue to do so for so long. "I know I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time..." Adios!
David Gates wrote some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and no one, including Glen Campbell, could sing them as well as he. I'm a great Glen Campbell fan but David Gates was one of a kind just like Glen was one of a kind.
My mom loved Glen Campbell when I was little and I always had a crush on him. I've also always loved his voice. He was one of my favorites growing up. This is such a great song and he does a beautiful version of it!
Bread was the only concert I ever went to. I got a backstage pass too and invited to meet David Gates, and his, band but I was only 14 in '77 and a young Christian and thought it wasn't appropriate for me to go but I sure did enjoy their concert...quality music you don't hear these days.
So glad I learned how truly gifted Glenn was, even if it took me way into my 40's. What a fabulous overall performer. Wow is all I can really say to sum it up.
I have always Loved Glen Since the first time I Ever heard his Beautiful Voice!! I have a huge amount of Glen's Music and will always listen to the best Talent Ever!! Love and Miss Glen Campbell!!🎵💖🎼💖🎶💖🎵💖
This made me cry. I've always loved Bread songs. But to hear the song sung by Glen Campbell...well, it's just so beautiful. His voice was so smooth and sultry. Thinking of my darling husband, gone 13 years. Missing him while listening to this.
I've always LOVED this song by David Gates,,, Glen singing it.. puts it OVER the top! I've loved his singing since I was 5, he just keeps pulling at those heart strings.....Don't stop
There are times when an artist gets so deeply into a song that they take a moment to recompose themselves. And there are times when the entire audience needs the same moment. This is one of those times.
Glenn is not underrated. Every top guitar player in the world, whether country, pop, rock, jazz or even metal will acknowledge Glenn as one of the best players that ever lived. Ratings among fellow professional musicians are the most valuable recognition.
Viva the memory and music of Glen Campbell. Another great musician gone that will not be forgotten nor replaced. Back when the Tonight Show had talent and was entertaining to watch; the good ole days of the 1970’s.
