TODAY.. will mark the passing of one of my all time favorite musicians,
RIP ~ Mr. Glen Campbell ~
Glen was born April 22 1936 in Billstown Arkansas.
He passed away today, August 8, 2017 at the age of 81.
He'd been long suffering with Alzheimer's Disease.
In 2014 Glen wrote and recorded a real tear-jerker (and haunting) song to wife about the fact
that he knew he would forget her,
appropriately titled...
~ "I'm Not Going To Miss You" ~ (TIP: Get out your hanky!)
** [This song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 87th Academy Awards and won a Grammy for Best Country Song for 2015]
Glen was an amazing Personality and Talent. He impressed this world with the bulk of his work as a Singer, Musician, Songwriter, TV Host, Actor, Family Man, and more.
The warm tones of his pleasant, gentle and flexible voice contributed to the flavor of so many beautiful and popular songs in both Country and Rock music.
Glen's vocals were so pure, natural and perfectly matched to his awesome and undeniable
'good looks'.
Even into his many years, Glen never lacked in masculine charm..
No, he was certainly a handsome gent in his manner, profile and stature.
If you are too young to be familiar with the huge bulk of Glen Campbell's recordings and work,
simply search his name - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Samples here:
Mr. Glen Campbell, You will be sorely missed and your memory and music, treasured.
And "Yes, Glen.. You blessed and enriched out lives.. and
"Thank You For Staying.. 'Until It Was Time For You To Go'."
Gone ~ but 'never forgotten' <3
