My favorite was always “Gentle on my Mind”.

Galveston came out when I was in the Navy. Made me feel lonely as hell when I heard it.

I was ok with Natalie singing along to her Dad’s vox. That was in the family.
The “new” Beatles tune Free as a Bird was teetering: playing along with a virtual demo tape of John’s was pushing it, but they WERE in a band.
Everything else is a cash grab and borderline disgusting.

The ultimate was Kenny G, playing his terrible sax on Satchmo’s “What A Wonderful World”.

Four and five commas per sentence is a bit much.

Let me edit that.
Four, and, five, commas, per sentence, is a bit much.
Sorry - couldn’t help it.

Yeah that’s one gig he blew.

Seriously? Sinatra was the equivalent of Taylor Swift today.
I can’t think of a single song he sang that makes me stop and listen.
Glen Campbell though, he had it. Like Roy Orbison, or Nat King Cole.

The way he could pick that guitar was amazing to see and to listen to.
There is a documentary produced shortly before his death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Campbell:_I%27ll_Be_Me
It centers on his severe stages of Alzheimers. He didn't know where he was, who his wife and kids were, the lyrics to Galverston and so on. But he never missed a note or a chord on the guitar as he played concerts.
His family took a lot of grief for putting him on stage. But they argued Glen was never happier than when he played and performed; it would be crueler to put him in a home - never to do anything.

Just a sales act. Why mix trash in with the good stuff?
