Glen Campbell
is an American pop-country singer, best known for a series of 1960s and 1970s hits, including "Galveston", "Rhinestone
Cowboy", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", and "Southern Nights".
Campbell is a native of Delight, Arkansas and began playing
the guitar as a youth without ever learning to read music. By the time he was eighteen, Campbell was touring the south as part of
the Western Wranglers.
In 1958, Campbell moved to Los Angeles to become a session musician.
Campbell's period as a session musician was successful, and he played with Bobby Darin, Rick Nelson, the Beach Boys , Merle Haggard, the Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,
the Association, and the Mamas & the Papas, among others. His debut single was the moderate success "Turn Around,
Look at Me". "Too Late to Worry - Too Blue to Cry" and "Kentucky Means Paradise" were similarly popular within only a small
section of the country audience. By 1967, Campbell was ready to break through to the
mainstream with "Gentle on My Mind" and "I
Wanna Live" in 1968 see 1968 in
music.
Campbell's biggest hits in 1968-1969 came on
evocative songs written by Jimmy Webb: "By the Time I Get to Phoenix",
"Wichita Lineman", and "Galveston". Campbell's voice and phrasing
conveyed the songs' emotional content perfectly.
After he hosted a 1968 summer replacement for the Smothers
Brothers television show, Campbell had his own weekly variety show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, from January 1969 through June 1972. At the height of his
popularity, a 1970 biography by Freda Kramer, The Glen Campbell Story, was published.
During the early 1970s, Campbell released a long series of singles and appeared in the
movies True Grit with John
Wayne and Kim Darby and Norwood with Kim Darby and Joe Namath. In the mid-1970s he had more big hits with "Rhinestone
Cowboy", "Southern Nights", and "Sunflower".
Subsequently, Campbell began having trouble reaching the charts, and began to abuse drugs. By 1989, however, he had quit drugs and was regularly reaching the country Top Ten; songs like "She's
Gone, Gone, Gone" were extremely popular. In the 1990s, Campbell mostly retired from
recording, though he has not quit entirely. In 1994, his autobiography, Rhinestone
Cowboy, was published.
