Glen Campbell -RIP

Never much of a country fan but love Phoenix and Linesman. Reminds me of a trip to Crete when I was a student! Little cafe on beach with a jukebox in Mallia. Tiny village in those days. What a talented man and what a sad end of life.

KatyK I have memories of car journeys, going on holiday, it was probably our favourite of the few tapes we had in those days - played on a loop with the DC joining in with Rhinestone Cowboy from the back seat.
In fact, I think we must have worn the tape out.

A great musician and singer, also did a few acting roles.
Always thought he was much better than John Denver.

ah but john Denvers lyrics were wonderful,have you listened to Poems Prayers and Promises ,not just that one track but the whole album is full of beautiful words

Thank You BBC 4 a fitting tribute to a brilliant entertainer and musician. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just watched it on IPlayer - thinks for heads up gilly

It was very enjoyable and well worth a late night.

Having watched Oklahama at the Proms earlier on, Glen Campbell's rendition of 'My Boy Bill' from Carousel was a lovely end to the evening.
