BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…
These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.
Rhinestone Cowboy
"Rhinestone Cowboy" became a signature song for Glen Campbell. It was a major pop hit and the title track from his 1975 album. The single topped the American Pop, Country and Adult Contemporary charts. It also reached #1 in Canada and went Top 5 in Britain and Australia.
Larry Weiss wrote the song and recorded the original version. In 1974, it was released as a single but the disc fared poorly. Fortunately, Campbell heard the song and spotted its potential and recorded it.
