#170
GLEN CAMPBELL
During the 1970s, Glen Campbell became one of the leading figures in the country / pop genre. The American was born in 1936 and learned to play the guitar from the age of 4. He started performing in bands during his teens. As a young adult, he developed a reputation as a competent session musician, playing for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and The Beach Boys.
His solo aspirations began bearing fruit first on the country chart in the late 1960s. "Wichita Lineman" was his 2nd #1 on that listing and became his 1st major pop crossover hit. Campbell was soon a regular on the Top 40, with singles such as "Galveston", "Try A LIttle Kindness", "Bonaparte's Retreat" and his 2 US #1 Pop singles "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights". 
Over recent decades, the recordings grew rarer. In 2011, the 75 year old Campbell revealed that he had Alzheimer's Disease. A farewell tour followed. The documentary 'Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me' was released in 2014. Its soundtrack included the moving song "I'm Not Gonna Miss You". A final album entitled 'Adios' was issued in 2017.
