One of the finest technical and musical genius ever. His creative period far exceeds anyone but McCartney.

No fan of Campbell, I did start to appreciate his contributions and talent after watching “I’ll be me” on Netflix. Good stuff.

In the the late 60s early 70s he was appreciated enough. He had a nice string of hit records and his own tv show and appeared in True Grit.

Me too, he gets razzed for his performance...but I actually thought Kim Darby was worse.

How can someone with parkinson’s make an album? Love Glenn Campbell, one one of the most skillful entertainers of all time. Check Powerline’s many posts on him.

“His creative period far exceeds anyone but McCartney.”

Rolling Stones. What’s amazing is that just a few years ago both McCartney and the Stones were up for the same Grammy for new material.

Glen Campbell is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Check this out:

or the Beach Boys hits including “Help Me Rhonda” where Glen played lead guitar.

Maybe under-appreciated recently, but Glen had several huge hits in the heart of his career.
