My favorite Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb song...and his 6-string bass solo is instantly recognizable.

Fun facts....

Glen borrowed the 6-string bass from the Wrecking Crew’s Carol Kaye who was also in the studio at the time.

Before becoming a star in his own right, Glen was a VERY highly sought after studio musician who was in the famous Hal Blaine led “Wrecking Crew”. Google them and see the all stars that played in thar studio group.

Glen also played on most if not all of the Beach Boys (and Jan & Dean) hits traveled with the BB’s when Brian Wilson could no longer tour.

If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend the documentary about the Wrecking Crew:

The Wrecking Crew

I believe Netflix has it.
