The Moons a Harsh Mistress is a blinding song. One of many that really could only be done justice by GC.

I woke up this morning with the sunshine here in Barcelona thinking everything in the world is good, then I checked the news....
How terribly sad, I was lucky enough to meet and see Glen play at my mother in laws private party 15 years ago this month actually, although at the time I was not a fan, he was extremely good and actually very funny on stage, he signed my wife's grans shirt after the show, and because it was the first time I'd meet her gran she got me to sign the shirt as well, so she has the shirt hanging up in a case for all to see in her lounge signed me and Glen which is pretty cool.
R.I.P away from illness and family worries. x

Great singer, musician and writer. As well as being a performer in his own right, he was also a member of the Wrecking Crew, the elite group of West Coast session players behind a gazillion hits including many Beach Boys classics. The recent documentary about his farewell tour, which he undertook despite Alzheimer's, was a tear-jerker.

I have to agree with you, Cheggers. I can't stand Country music bur RIP Glenn and Wichita Lineman was much better than most of the genre. In contrast, Achey Breaky Heart makes me want to pour cement in my ears so I never have o hear it again. Sorry if I'm being disrespectful. I am genuinely sorry that the man has passed on.

Pop music really doesn't get any better than his three collaborations with the composing genius that is Jimmy Webb - Galveston, By The Time I Get To Phoenix and the absolutely sublime Wichita Lineman.
RIP Glen Campbell.
RIP Glen Campbell.

I seem to remember Joe Cocker doing a stonking version of that.
But you know what they say, a good song is a good song.

You must have a tough time every match we sing the Anthony Knockaert song to the tune of Achy Breaky Heart
Thank you for your well timed and intelligent contribution.

Judging by Trumps recent outburst on North Korea, don't think of him as passing away, rather beating the rush.

I never cease to wonder at the arrogant certainty of people like Cheggers. He informs us that Glen Campbell's music is crap.- not hat he thinks that it is crap but that, because he says it's crap it must therefore be crap. No argument. Cheggers is right and anyone who does not go along with his pronouncements is wrong. I'm glad i don't know him
