Biography

Delight AR, United States (1962 – present)

Glen Campbell (April 22, 1936 in Delight, Arkansas) is an American pop-country singer and guitarist, best known for a series of hits in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as for hosting a television variety show. Much like George Benson in the jazz world, Campbell’s emerging vocal abilities eventually overshadowed his much-admired musical skills as a guitarist and changed the expected course of his career.

Before starting a solo career in 1962, Campbell was known as an accomplished guitarist with a finely tuned musicality and was in great demand as a session musician in the 1960s, playing on records by artists such as Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, Merle Haggard, The Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Association, and The Mamas & the Papas.

He was a full-fledged member of The Beach Boys, filling in for an ailing Brian Wilson on tour in 1964 and 1965 and playing on the Pet Sounds album.

Campbell’s accolades as a musician and singer are as impressive as his talent. He made history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories in 1967: Gentle On My Mind snatched the country honors, and By The Time I Get To Phoenix won in pop. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the CMA and the ACM, and took the CMA’s top honor as Entertainer of the Year.

During his 40 years in show business, Campbell has released over 70 albums, sold 45 million records, and racked up 12 RIAA Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums, and 1 Double-Platinum album. Of his 75 trips up the charts, 27 landed in the Top 10.

    Can anyone tell me if the Glen Campbell song's here are original recordings or STILL BAD RE RECORDINGS?? I added many months back & they were all terrible remakes. There is no way to know until they actually play. I thought someone would know.

    i like a couple of his songs, but, i think he's a douchebag, on par with Ike Turner and Chris Brown. What he did to tanya tucker is inexcusable. :\

    I just got "wichita lineman" and "gentle on my mind" on vinyl mint condition for a buck each. Blown away by his talent.

    I am so sad that he has Alzheimers. That is so terrible! I love him loads still! :(. My Nan died of the disease and I witnessed her decline, so I know how awful it really is. It's an evil disease, it really is. I feel so terrible for t his family as well. I read he is on his 'final tour' because of the illness...:(. What a shame, he is always one singer I would love to see live. I will never have that chance now. I'm nearly 20 and I have loved him all my life. Hios song "It's only make believe" is one of my favourite songs in the world and also my favourite by him

    Love Glen. Can't believe he's on tour still. Also, only obscure Family Guy joke I've ever gotten. Relevant - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsreNiNMyYU
