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
