Without a doubt, Glen Campbell was one of the greatest vocalists, songwriters and especially guitarists of all time.

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.
