OT: Glen Campbell, hit singer and guitarist, dead at 81

[Ozimoto]

One superb performer and musical talent, RIP Mr. Campbell.

Glen singing the title song to "True Grit":

As part of the Wrecking Crew (a group of studio musicians from the 60's) he was part of many recordings by the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and others.

" and i need you more than want you and i want you for all time".doesn't get much better than that ....RIP

IIRC, I believe "Wichita Lineman" was one of Rolling Stones Top 500 songs of all time. I'll have to re check on that.

Jimmy Webb finally said his goodbye to Glen on his Facebook page. Sad.

I checked, they have it ranked at #195 on their top 500.

I remember watching his show with my family when I was a kid. He seemed like such a nice guy. Nice music. He was sort of a forerunner for John Denver, a similar kind of performer, who I later came to enjoy a lot.
