Glen Campbell dead at 81

[Ciaphas Cain]

Breaking now.

[Alberta's Child]

That’s the average overall life expectancy for men and women in the U.S., but what is the average life expectancy for men and women who have already reached the age of, say, 60 or 70? It’s probably at least 5-6 years higher than those numbers you posted.

LOL... me too. She had one of the silkiest voices of all time. I'm soon to be 59.

[who knows what evil?]

We can’t even imagine what he is witnessing right now...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Rest in peace. Loved his music growing up.

[SandRat]

Sadness for us all

Bought an Ovation Balladeer guitar back in 1974 after seeing GC play one on TV. Hope he’s picking in Heaven with John Hartford tonight. Adios and Godspeed, GC.

RIP Glen. Thanks for all the songs and especially Galveston. Still gives me chills.

I remember Campbell in True Grit and how John Wayne praised him for his acting in the movie.

...

I read the other day that Elvis was the first pick for that role.

Campbell was an outstanding guitarist. He was in “The Wrecking Crew” and played on a number of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The each Boys and other groups, recordings.
++++
Quite so but I'm betting not widely recognized by his (justifiably) adoring public.

Next time you watch a Glen Campbell video on YouTube take look at Glen's hands. Flying Pick and Flying Fingers. You will be amazed.

[DiogenesLamp]

Loved many of his songs. He will be missed.

[SoFloFreeper]

RIP. Lineman for the County. And who can forget:

Country Boy (You've got your feet in L.A.)"

[SpinnerWebb]

There are some audio posts on YouTube of Karen Carpenter’s isolation tracks (her vocal tracks directly out of the soundbooth, no other vocals or instruments).

They are amazing. She supposedly one-tracked most of her vocals.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

RIP Mr Campbell

Here a song from his daughter;
