Glen Campbell & Tanya Tucker Talk With Tom Snyder 

She said he was love of her life but she was too young to see it at the what she had

Did the dumb broad show up?

She is a gem..I wish she could have married Glenn instead of Kim

YIPEEEE! Happy for you! I've sung many of her songs thru the years. For 40 years I was a little fish in a big pond. Her and I are the same age and only 3 days apart. I think...my fav to sing..."What'll I Do With Me" and "Down to My Last Teardrop". I've come SOOOO close to seeing her in person but something always got in the way.

Terrible relationship violent with both lotta alcohol & drugs !! She was too young and not healthy for either.

Okay.

He had a voice to match, IMO - every note, every word, perfectly placed.

People thought her two oldest kids were his. She finally admitted he was not the father. And her third child had a different dad than the first two. They were not good together, they were drinking and doing cocaine and fought like two tomcats. If they had been off booze and cocaine they may have made it. Too bad it was a toxic relationship. He asked her dad if he could marry her and got an affirmative answer. They talked about getting married in Scotland. They would have had beautiful children who probably could sing. Tanya and Glen sang wonderful together. Too bad they could not have been like Johnny and June or Waylon and Jessi but it was not to be.

I think he was THE best. In hour long interviews with the same person, he would ask the very questions I wanted asked. I was sometimes mesmerized by the back and forth he had with his guests, as the cameras zoomed in on their faces.

joe doe Yeah ! He had that special quality of being a hard hitting newsman in confrontation when called for, yet also down to earth and able to laugh easily, even at himself..I sure miss him.

I grew up in Philadelphia when Tom was a local news anchor. He was always like that..hard hitting but always ready with that iconic laugh that Dan Akryod did so well on SNL.

Not

@@JoeDoe2 we miss them

What song?

Carol Parker. o

Too late.

I've always listened to Glen Campbell my entire life and didn't know I was related to him until my trip to Ireland.... I knew my mother's side of the family was Campbell's from Scotland/ Ireland - I found a Campbell Clan plaque while in Ireland which said Glen Campbell was a relative of mine .. interesting..

Carol Parker He WAS a great guy!

Thankfully he didn't beat on you like he did Tanya apparently.

Recently was an interview of Tanya! She still loves him!!

Cocaines a helluva drug

@Jimo That doesn't justify domestic violence

@@popland1977 i think it was 50/50 with these two..i remember seeing him with cuts bruises and a black eye !.yes..I'm that old

Michelle Jollie: I liked them together! Don’t you think his current wife had ‘ something ‘ to do with him saying that? She wouldn’t let Tanya see him when he was ill, and she just wanted to see him for a few minutes. I don’t see that as a threat! But, his wife wouldn’t let her. I’ve always ( so far) liked Tanya.

@Kevin K I wouldn't call it "moving on" when he ghosted Kim for 3 months to get back with Tanya, who later dumped him and he's done nothing but talk shit about her ever since. He's clearly bitter.

@@popland1977 wait a minute, who abused who? Im confused?

Glenn's body wasn't too shabby either..😒

Donna Rachiele...we need to keep in mind they were in the grip of substance abuse in the early 80's, both cocaine & booze..That certainly affects people's judgement and behavior.. they both did rehab later

+Kate Quinn GC never went to rehab.

Kate Quinn .

Sure, it ALL Glenn's fault.

It's Trumps fault!

Dawn Anderson Maybe because she was 21 and he was 44!

@@reneamsu28 Glen's last wife Kim is one year younger than Tanya and they were married for 35 years. Age is completely irrelevant here.

Behind closed doors they were like oil and water ,it’s a wonder they both came out of it alive ,it was pretty volatile

Spot on!,I done my ex Wife very wrong I hurt her very bad emotionally,I never laid a finger on her but what I done was probably worse!. Going out w other women,I'm very sorry for it.

I think Tanya was very much in love with Glen. And Glen was also on love with Glen.

@@penny1150 She was, she didn't want to live anymore after Glen broke up with her

And guitarist

They sound fantastic together!!😍

Did they do as much coke as they say?

@@samanthab1923 probably….Tanya was crazy….im thinking she got him hooked!

And he says I like her what a jerk

I'm wondering did he mean that he liked the other wives he was married to but he loved her (Tania) He looked lovingly at Tanya after he said it. I'm open to correction. I thought he really loved Tanya, you could see the spark on stage for sure!

He never loved her

Trev Mac j

Tom was a trip

Very accurate!

zyxmyk u

LOL, Moments like that are so funny and memorable.

Tom Snyder a real gentleman!

They seemed to be in a nice zone at that time.

+vanibat Glad you like it, and thank you for all the great videos you've posted!

breautube (drugs ended this )

For sure!!!

o

They had that ''crazy kind of love'' Not always good in the long run.

@@jobrownsmith116 It might have worked if cocaine wasn’t in the picture

@@Reba24u true.

You're correct...she's never married. Don't think she ever got over Glen. He did her wrong!!!

@@lindapowell2397 I HEARD THAT HE USED TO HIT HER AND ABUSE HER---AND I AM A TANYA FAN ALL THE WAY & I DON ' T LIKE GLENN FOR DOING THAT---HE MIGHT BE A GOOD SINGER AND GUITAR PLAYER--BUT HE DONE TANYA WRONG ===

andrew james I see what u did

Vince Gill used to say that singing and playing music was all there was to do in Oklahoma.

+Michael Quinn Because he was coked out.

Cocaine...that was the trouble.

He's on edge because he was seriously coked up big time. And he couldn't wait to get back stage so he could keep banging out the lines of nose candy

@@valeriegriner5644 exactly and he drank heavily too

@@l.skynyrd2863 Campbell used to sniff the white powder off his guitar lol

TrueGritGirl yes, they were crazy in love. But it would be like putting 2 b u l l s in a pen. he needed arm candy that did all the home things. he was jealous to an absolute fault and also needed someone to do all the daily tasking. she needed to be out there and perform.

Glen's daughter does look like Tanya, strange but true

Christine Starr how right you are. he always needed to be the main attraction. Secondly, this was a scheduled interview for Tanya Tucker and Glen came along and then was asked to come on stage with her.

Christine Starr glen was coked up and couldn't stop talking

I've always wondered how Glen felt about having such a gifted female partner on stage with him. He was extraordinarily gifted and Tanya could hold her own with him and apart from him. His four wives weren't on stage with him, if I understand correctly. Sharing the spotlight can be difficult for two stars. It is interesting that when you Google Glen, it is Tanya Tucker's name beside his and his wives' names come much later.

It seems the women remained married to until his passing, would be the love of his life. She stuck it out through Alzheimer’s… the documentary “I’ll be me” is one of the most interesting and heartbreaking I’ve ever watched.

No, HE was the love of his life! 😋

Glen said that 1980’s was the worst time of his life due to his foolish use of alcohol and drugs. Thankfully he kicked it, but he left quite a trail in his wake, one being Tanya.

He punched out her two front teeth and was wonderful talent but in depths of addiction.

Ok, I’m white and I use to like the Pointer sisters

Yeah, they seem high here

@@samanthab1923 yea, watch Glen on the chords, dude was a maniac studio musician of the likes no one had seen before on guitar and here he plods through the chord progression of the little song he played with her. 14:45

@@dabneyoffermein595 I had no idea till I watched Wrecking Crew. Someone said he was a big influence on Eddie Van Halen too. Crazy good

Christine Starr you are so right. it's also proof positive that her father rejected that idea completely. let's look at this. he had worked so hard and she was the breadwinner in that family. had he signed her over basically to Glen she would have lost all control over her and her money. she grew up being programmed to please her father no matter what. she did just that and to this day she lost the love of her life. also, Glen's personality required a wife at home. He found that. you can't sit Tanya in a corner. But that is what he needed. She needed to go on and shine. love them both

But he was use to proposing. It was in his blood.

Christine Starr why are you yelling?

Little Iodine I love 💕 them both too! Yes, I think she loved him. I didn’t know all their history, I just thought they had one hot love affair!! I know Glen had drinking and drug problems, and I believe she did too! Maybe wasn’t meant to be, if you believe that stuff!

@@billyolden8859 JUST BECAUSE I USE CAP LETTERS IS SO I CAN SEE THEM BETTER---THAT DON ' T MEAN WE ARE YELLING '''' GET A LIFE ''''

Christine Starr my humble opinion is he did ask her father. Her father rejected that idea. What's she is scared of right there is his anger if she says anything wrong. Every time she does answer, she looks to see what Glen's reaction is to see if it's okay. Too bad this was her scheduled interview. Glen just happened to come along with her and then Tom asked him to be on it with her and then Glen did most of the talking as usual. Tanya was meant to take front stage. Glen could not handle that. Tanya can let anybody shine and still know she's a okay. Glen cannot.

Christine Starr Why do you yell so much?

The proof is in the pudding.

@@littleiodine9480 Tanya's story is similar to Tina Turner's in some ways.

I had her 8 track and me and my friend played it over and over!!

And, you know this how?

@@patprewitt8588 this pissys me off about these folks that say nasty things .I think they really did really love each other.remember Glen was 22 years older and WHAT 3 or 4 marriages down but he let her down .she loved him .I tho k he already started to get forgetful but if you look at his his now wife she's a dead ringer for tanya but not as pretty .in end his wife put him in a home and never told his kids ,wouldn't let tanya see him .if you were such a wonderful Christian what was the problem ,????????

On the interview with Dan Rather a few years ago, she said Glenn knocked her front teeth out, so I assumed that is when she had to have her teeth repaired.

I always thought her teeth were one of her attributes. Very cute teeth. I'm a teeth person. 😊

No real man

Like whitney and bobby..most drug addicts behave this way..I no its sad but its a reality.

That went both ways.she beat him also

He did ask her to marry him why did go bak to his wife

So sad 😞 Thanks all is past! Tanya will be always Tanya, the best ever! Glenn RIP

There are different layers to loving something or somebody..💗💋..I'm still learning myself.

@@barbarawilliamson136 amen sista!

​@@barbarawilliamson136exactly! You don't ever shake that kinda of passionate relationship. It may be unhealthy but it's intense and runs deep as hell!

@@ZFern9390 well said.

I know people who have been married for years and years with the same age difference

If that's true, shades of Casey Kasem.

Is that what happened to Kasem? Not surprised, and I guess a lesson to all to try and set up as much of that as you can, in advance.

Jmichael Isbell that is so SAD how can anybody do that to kids?? It's heartbreaking cruel, mean and abuse

Jmichael Isbell It's a shame the current family can be so selfish with him. Those children are his biological children that he probably had a relationship with. This is life and death, permanent. They should have all done the right thing. No court should have had to rule for them to put this man first.

Being an Asian-Indian guy, I understand the need of having someone who shares your ethnic background. It makes it easier to flow along intuitively without fear of hurting someone's feelings. But it can also be volatile because of each other's familiarity which can lead to distrust and paranoia. Then add coke and alcohol to the mix.

@Jack Wells Ok Jack .Paula Carlson (Hiway 101/ Stevie Nicks. Tanya tucker, ground breaking indeed. Thought I would make the "association" with Tanya and Pat. So, what are you ? about?

Mark Grinshpun Lets be fair. Tanya was no innocent even then. Of course Glen played the part of the dirty old man here. He later regretted all he did that was wrong. He turned the corner and had a very happy settled rest of his life. I wish it would happen for Tanya.

He looks pretty ragged at 44...too much self abuse. She looks like an angel.

cdnpont- what kinda look are you implying she has here?.. I think she looks like a blonde-haired Sigourney Weaver in this interview!!😀

Wow

That would be great to hear Johnny again 👍

20 yrs or so age difference
