'''Glen Travis Campbell''' (April 22, 1936 – August 8, 2017) was an American country singer, guitarist, songwriter, and actor. He was best known for a series of hit songs in the 1960s and 1970s, and for hosting ''[[The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour]]'' on [[CBS]] television from 1969 until 1972.<ref name=NYT-obit>{{cite news |last1=Pollak |first1=Michael |title=Glen Campbell, Whose Hit Songs Bridged Country and Pop, Dies at 81 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/08/arts/music/glen-campbell-dead.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=August 9, 2017 |date=August 8, 2017}}</ref> He released 64 albums in a career that spanned five decades, selling over 45 million records worldwide, including twelve gold albums, four platinum albums, and one double-platinum album.

Born in [[Billstown, Arkansas]], Campbell began his professional career as a [[session musician|studio musician]] in Los Angeles, spending several years playing with the group of instrumentalists later known as "[[The Wrecking Crew (music)|The Wrecking Crew]]". After becoming a solo artist, he placed a total of 80 different songs on either the [[Hot Country Songs|''Billboard'' Country Chart]], [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], or [[Adult Contemporary (chart)|Adult Contemporary Chart]], of which 29 made the top 10 and of which nine reached number one on at least one of those charts. Among Campbell's hits are "[[Universal Soldier (song)|Universal Soldier]]", his first hit from 1965, along with "[[Gentle on My Mind (song)|Gentle on My Mind]]" (1967), "[[By the Time I Get to Phoenix]]" (1967), "[[Dreams of the Everyday Housewife]]" (1968), "[[Wichita Lineman]]" (1968), "[[Galveston (song)|Galveston]]" (1969), "[[Rhinestone Cowboy]]" (1975), and "[[Southern Nights (song)|Southern Nights]]" (1977).<ref>[https://ew.com/music/2017/08/08/glen-campbell-best-musical-moments/ "Glen Campbell's 10 best musical moments"], ''Entertainment Weekly'', August 8, 2017</ref>

In 1967, Campbell won four Grammys in the country and pop categories. For "Gentle on My Mind", he received two awards in [[country and western]]; "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" did the same in pop. Three of his early hits later won [[Grammy Hall of Fame Award]]s (2000, 2004, 2008), while Campbell himself won the [[Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award]] in 2012. He owned trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the [[Country Music Association]] (CMA) and the [[Academy of Country Music]] (ACM), and took the CMA's top award as 1968 Entertainer of the Year. Campbell played a supporting role in the film ''[[True Grit (1969 film)|True Grit]]'' (1969), which earned him a [[Golden Globe]] nomination for Most Promising Newcomer. He also sang the [[True Grit (song)|title song]], which was nominated for an [[Academy Award]]. Campbell announced he was diagnosed with [[Alzheimer's disease]] in 2011 and retired in 2013 after recording his final song, "[[I'm Not Gonna Miss You]]".

"We had no electricity," he said, and money was scarce. "A dollar in those days looked as big as a [[saddle blanket]]."<ref name=Tampa>"Glen Campbell-The Hottest Hick in Show Business," ''Parade'' magazine, February 8, 1970</ref> To supplement income the family picked cotton for other farmers.

"If you worked your tail off, you could pick 80 or 90 pounds a day."<ref name=Newsweek>"Interview with Glen Campbell", ''Newsweek'', April 15, 1968</ref>

Campbell started playing guitar at age 4 after his father gave him a [[Sears]]-bought five-dollar guitar as a gift, with his uncle Boo teaching him the basics of how to play.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6J99mWFqMU;t=4m15s "CBS News Sunday Morning"], CBS News, February 12, 2012</ref> Most of his family was musical, he said.

Campbell continued playing guitar in his youth, with no formal training, and practiced when he was not working in the cotton fields. He developed his talent by listening to radio and records and considered [[Django Reinhardt]] among his most admired guitarists, later calling him "the most awesome player I ever heard."<ref name=Chicago>[https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-glen-campbell-dead-20170808-story.html "Glen Campbell, 'Rhinestone Cowboy' singer, dead at 81"], ''Chicago Tribune'', August 8, 2017</ref><ref name=bransonsreview>{{cite web|last=Antus|first=Paul L.|title='Turn Around, Look at Me' A Glen Campbell Invitation |url=http://www.bransonsreview.com/story_June02.html|website=Branson's Review|access-date=June 10, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326191430/http://www.bransonsreview.com/story_June02.html|archive-date=March 26, 2012}}</ref> He dropped out of school in the 10th grade<ref name="auto3"/> at 14 to work in [[Houston]] alongside his brothers, installing insulation and later working at a gas station.<ref name=Dispatch>"Took More Than Grit to make Campbell a Star", ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'', August 25, 1981</ref>

Not satisfied with that kind of work, Campbell started playing music at fairs and church picnics and singing gospel hymns in the church choir. He was able to find spots performing on local radio stations, and after his parents moved to Houston, he made some appearances at a local nightclub.<ref name=Dispatch />

In 1954, at age 17, Campbell moved to [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]], to join his uncle's band, known as Dick Bills and the Sandia Mountain Boys.<ref name=cmt_bio>{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/campbell_glen/bio.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031223010401/http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/campbell_glen/bio.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 23, 2003|title=CMT Artists - Discover Music Artists and Bands|website=Cmt.com|access-date=May 2, 2017}}</ref> He also appeared there on his uncle's radio show<ref name=bransonsreview /> and on ''K Circle B Time'', the local children's program on [[KOB|KOB television]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Hollis|first=Tim|title=Hi There, Boys and Girls!: America's Local Children's TV Shows|year=2001|publisher=University Press of Mississippi|isbn=1-57806-395-7|page=180|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h3nCJAlg5qUC&q=k+circle+b+time+dick+bills&pg=PA180}}</ref> It was there that he met his first wife, whom he married when he was 18 and she was 16.<ref name=Dispatch />

Campbell played on recordings by [[the Beach Boys]], [[Bobby Darin]], [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Ricky Nelson]], [[Dean Martin]], [[Nat King Cole]], [[the Monkees]], [[Nancy Sinatra]], [[Merle Haggard]], [[Jan and Dean]],<ref name="laurel_canyon" /> [[Bing Crosby]], [[Phil Spector]], [[Sammy Davis Jr.]], [[Doris Day]], [[Bobby Vee]], [[The Everly Brothers]], [[Shelley Fabares]], [[The Cascades (band)|The Cascades]], [[Paul Revere & the Raiders]], [[Wayne Newton]], [[Kenny Rogers and The First Edition|The First Edition]], [[The Kingston Trio]], [[Roger Miller]], [[Gene Clark]], [[Lou Rawls]], [[Claude King]], [[Lorne Greene]], [[Ronnie Dove]], and  [[Elvis Presley]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Flynn|first=Keith|title=Keith Flynn's Elvis Presley pages |url=http://www.keithflynn.com/recording-sessions/630830.html|website=KeithFlynn.com|access-date=June 10, 2012}}</ref><ref name = hartman-wrecking-crew /> He befriended Presley when he helped record the soundtrack for ''[[Viva Las Vegas]]'' in 1964. He later said, "Elvis and I were brought up the same humble way – picking cotton and looking at the south end of a north-bound mule."<ref name=Chicago />

In May 1961, he left the Champs<ref name=champs /> and was subsequently signed by [[Crest Records]], a subsidiary of [[American Music Records|American Music]].  His first solo release, "[[Turn Around, Look at Me]]", a moderate success, peaked at number 62 on the [[Hot 100]] in 1961<ref>{{cite web|title=Allmusic – Glen Campbell – Awards|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/glen-campbell-mn0000664378/awards|website=AllMusic.com|publisher=Rovi Corp.|access-date=June 17, 2012}}</ref> but reached number 7 on the Hot 100 in a 1968 [[The Vogues|Vogues]] cover.

In 1962, Campbell signed with [[Capitol Records]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Graff|first=Gary|title=Like a rhinestone cowboy: Glen Campbell soldiers on through Alzheimer's disease|url=http://www.thenewsherald.com/articles/2012/05/06/news/doc4fa4438fdb4f9336419989.txt?viewmode=fullstory|work=The News Herald|access-date=June 17, 2012|archive-date=May 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160508154310/http://www.thenewsherald.com/articles/2012/05/06/news/doc4fa4438fdb4f9336419989.txt?viewmode=fullstory|url-status=dead}}</ref> After minor initial success with "Too Late to Worry, Too Blue to Cry", his first single for the label, and "Kentucky Means Paradise", released by the Green River Boys featuring Glen Campbell, a string of unsuccessful singles and albums followed.

Occasionally  we'd play with 50- or 60-piece orchestras.

From 1964 on, Campbell began to appear on television as a regular on ''Star Route'', a [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] series hosted by [[Rod Cameron (actor)|Rod Cameron]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Glenn Campbell Gets Role in New TV Show|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/albuquerque-tribune/1964-01-27/page-19?tag=cameron+star+route&rtserp=tags/cameron?pci=7&pd=01&pe=31&pem=12&py=1964&pm=01&pey=1964&pep=star-route&psb=dateasc|access-date=June 17, 2012|newspaper=Albuquerque Tribune|date=January 27, 1964}}</ref> ABC's ''[[Shindig!]]'' and  ''Hollywood Jamboree''.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Color C&W seg for tv in january|journal=Billboard Magazine|date=December 26, 1964|volume=76|issue=52|page=32|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LiAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA32|access-date=June 17, 2012}}</ref>

From December 1964 to early March 1965, Campbell was a touring member of [[the Beach Boys]], filling in for [[Brian Wilson]],<ref name=laurel_canyon /> playing bass guitar and singing [[falsetto]] harmonies. He was then replaced on the Beach Boys' tours by new member [[Bruce Johnston]]. Brian Wilson produced and co-wrote a single for Campbell, "[[Guess I'm Dumb]]", which failed to chart despite what writer David Howard called "a surging, elegant [[Burt Bacharach]]-inspired string and horn arrangement and Campbell's forlorn [[Roy Orbison]]-like vocal.".<ref>{{cite book|last=Howard|first=David N.|year=2004|title=Sonic Alchemy: Visionary Music Producers and Their Maverick Recordings|publisher=Hal Leonard|isbn=9780634055607|page=58}}</ref>

In 1965, he had his biggest solo hit yet, reaching number 45 on the Hot 100 with a version of [[Buffy Sainte-Marie]]'s "[[Universal Soldier (song)|Universal Soldier]]". Asked about the pacifist message of the song, he said that "people who are advocating burning draft cards should be hung".<ref>{{cite news|last=Walker|first=Rose Marie|title=Singer thinks Draft Card Burners Should Be Hung|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/albuquerque-tribune/1965-10-22/page-13?tag=glen+campbell&rtserp=tags/?pci=7&py=1960&pey=1966&pep=glen-campbell&pw=pennsylvania|access-date=June 17, 2012|newspaper=Albuquerque Tribune|date=January 27, 1965|page=13|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Campbell continued as a session musician, playing guitar on the Beach Boys' 1966 album ''[[Pet Sounds]]'', among other recordings.  In April of that year, he joined [[Rick Nelson]] on a tour through the Far East, again playing bass.<ref name=rick_nelson_tour>{{cite book|last1=Homer|first1=Sheree|title=Rick Nelson Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer|date=2012|publisher=McFarland & Company Inc.|location=Jefferson, North Carolina |isbn=978-0-7864-6060-1|page=68|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DBiPOnnsslwC&q=%22glen+campbell%22+%22rick+nelson%22+tokyo&pg=PA85|access-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref>
