Very sad. The singer of possibly my favourite song ever, 'Wichita Lineman'.

Nothing to add in sadness of the passing of an icon.
It was Glen that brought the spotlight onto Ovation acoustic guitars.
I never saw the demonstrations, but heard the Ovation reps would show how strong the new age aircraft epoxy bodies were by slamming them down on the pavement and they didn't break.
Yeah, Wichita Lineman, Galveston. As hard core good today and classy as back then.

Yes, Wichita Lineman is one of the best songs ever. We also need to give a shout out - or up, I guess - to its composer, Jimmy Webb. I always include him on my list of greatest songwriters. A guy on the Reaper forum referred to the lyrics of Wichita Lineman as "utterly transcendent." I have to agree. And Mr. Campbell's rendition of it was as well. RIP to both of these great men of music.

Really good article over at the BBC on Glen Campbell and the song "Wichita Lineman" ( http://www.bbc.com/news/e...inment-arts-40861326). A couple of things in there I had never heard before was that Jimmy Webb never "finished" the song. He sent it over to the studio before he could write a third verse. Also, he hated the line "I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line." Webb said he initially considered that famous couplet "the biggest, awfulest, dumbest, most obvious false rhyme in history". Over the years, he realized his discomfort over the rhyme had blinded him to the words' raw power. "Had I known what I was doing, I wouldn't have written that line. I would have found a way to make it rhyme," he told NPR in 2010. "It was only years later that I became aware of what a songwriter was even supposed to do. I was really just a kid who was kind of writing from the hip and the heart."

A live performance on British TV (from 1986) really shows to me how great he was as a performer and guitar player. The short rendition of Jerry Reed's "A Thing Called Love" starts around 10:30 in the following segment. Just a real class act.

My wife just mentioned that last week she overheard me (while working) singing "I am a middle-man for the wealthy..."
Unfortunately it just doesn't compete with Wichita Lineman.

I'm still wishing for an Ovation Deacon 12 string electric - almost 40 yrs after watching Glenn Campbell play one on Southern Nights.

For any young folks who might not be aware of just how well-respected Glenn was as a guitar picker...
