Rhinestone Cowboy, Glen Campbell dead at 81

Sir Robin Of Camelot

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

He got hit in the head with a rock...but he still shot Lucky Ned Pepper just before he was going to kill The Duke.

I loved GC as LeBeauf in True Grit...............RIP

RIP to the ex Wrecking Crew session guitarist, & ex *Beach Boy member.
He toured with them for a few months in the early 60's, & played guitar on perhaps their best album...*Pet Sounds.
Also played bass in Ricky Nelson's band in the mid 60's.

:rip:


He was a decent guitarist. His version of, "The William Tell Overture" was sublime on guitar.

another fun fact:

When he was with the Wrecking Crew, Glen Campbell played guitar on the Monkees 1st 2 studio albums.

I think Howard Roberts might have contributed a bit to the Monkees, too. Honestly, I'm not that big of a Glen Campbell fan, but there's no denying that he made some significant contributions, as a guitarist, singer and writer.

One of my favorites.
Saw him in concert in the early 70's when I was a kid. Not sure of the exact year.
