So weird I was thinking about this song yesterday. One of the greatest love songs ever.

I certainly hope you picked up Glen’s most recent album, “Meet Glen Campbell” — it’s excellent.

Glen Campbell may have had ups and downs in his personal life, but as an artist he is an American treasure. His music will stand the test of time, he and Jimmy Webb will go down as one of the top singer/songwriter duos ever.

I don't believe THIS ARTIST is underappreciated, but this song is unquestionably one of the best folk songs ever written.

Excellent! Thanks for posting that. (That’s a Jim Webb song, right?)

Anyway, it’s interesting to see that Glen’s still got it. What was most interesting was his work on the Strat. I had forgotten that he’s also a very good guitar player.

Here’s a link to Glen doing the same song, circa 35 years ago.

What he was really unappreciated for was his guitar picking.

I don’t know that Glen Campbell is underappreciated. He was a HUGE star from ‘68 to ‘70 or so, when he was having the hits and had his TV show. The hits stopped after ‘77. He had a good run.

I can't believe he recorded this Jimmy Webb song seven years before Waylon, Willie, Kris and Johnny.

This is my favorite song by him and a song that has meaning for me, and did when I was living that life.

Agreed this man and this song are amazing. Here’s set with Stone Temple Pilots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDPuK_tqG-Y
“I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time” gives me goosebumps.
