The lead singer on “My World Fell Down” is a tenor and Glen Campbell sounds like more of a baritone. However, when each sings solo on the refrain, the voice in the middle sounds a lot like Glen’s.
For me, this one hit close to home. In the summer of 1966, the machinists at several major airlines walked off the job. We were in Germany at the time, and when it was time to come home, the strike was still dragging on.
We managed to get to New York City on Trans-Caribbean Airlines, an airline I had never heard of before or since. After a couple days, we found a flight to Dallas on Delta Airlines, then a regional carrier confined mostly to the South. Then after a weekend in Big D, we boarded another Delta flight to Los Angeles. The Raiders' opus hit the playlist on Boss Radio 93 KHJ soon afterwards.
