Appearing on the scene in 69

Glen Campbell won our hearts,

when he gave us ‘Wichita Lineman’,

which made No. 7 in the charts.

 

In the same year 2 hits followed:

‘Galveston’ – much loved by he.

And assisted by Bobbie Gentry –

‘All I have to do is Dream’ reached No.3

 

‘Try a little Tenderness’ came in 70

then ‘Honey come back’ making No.4

‘Everything a man could ever need’ came next,

and ‘It’s only make believe’ a No.4, once more.

 

‘Dream Baby’ made the Top 40,

(his only hit of 71)

until in 75 with ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’

at No.4 – he once again shone.

 

‘Southern Nights came in 77,

from this home grown US boy.

Thank You Glen Campbell – vocalist and guitarist,

for bringing us so much joy.

 

RIP  1936 – 2017
