He started playing guitar as a youth without learning to read music. He credits his Uncle Boo for teaching him the guitar.

At 16, Campbell hocked his guitar and went to live with his Uncle Dick Bills in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Campbell joined his uncle’s band known as Dick Bills and the Sandia Mountain Boys and also appeared on his uncle’s radio show. A few years later, Campbell formed his own band, the Western Wranglers. http://www.bransonsreview.com/story_June02.html Welcome To Branson's Review.com http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/campbell_glen/bio.jhtml CMT.com : Glen Campbell : Biography

In 1958, Campbell moved to Los Angeles to become a session musician . He was part of the 1959 line-up of the group the Champs , famous for their instrumental "Tequila". Campbell was in great demand as a session musician in the 1960s. He was part of the studio musicians clique known as " The Wrecking Crew (music)|the Wrecking Crew ", many of whom went from session to session together as the same group. In addition to Campbell, Hal Blaine on drums, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Leon Russell on piano, Carol Kaye on bass guitar, Al Casey (rock & roll guitarist)|Al Casey on guitar were part of this group of session musicians that defined many pop and rock recordings of the era. They were also heard on Phil Spector 's " Wall of Sound " recordings in the early 1960s.

He was a touring member of the Beach Boys , filling in for Brian Wilson in 1964 and 1965. He played guitar on the group's Pet Sounds album, among other recordings. On tour, he played bass guitar and sang falsetto harmonies.

Late 1960s


As a solo artist, he had moderate success regionally with his first single, " Turn Around, Look at Me ". "Too Late to Worry, Too Blue to Cry" and "Kentucky Means Paradise" (cut with a bluegrass (music)|bluegrass group called the Green River Boys) were similarly popular within only a small section of the country audience.

In 1962, Campbell signed with Capitol Records and released two instrumental albums and a number of vocal albums during his first five years with the label. However, despite releasing singles written by Brian Wilson ("Guess I'm Dumb" in 1965) and Buffy Sainte-Marie the same year ("The Universal Soldier"), Campbell did not achieve major success as a solo artist. It was rumored that Capitol was considering dropping him from the label in 1966 when he was teamed with producer Al DeLory, and together they collaborated on 1967's Bob Dylan|Dylanesque " Gentle on My Mind (song)|Gentle on My Mind ", written by John Hartford .

"Gentle on My Mind" was an overnight success. It was followed by the even bigger triumph of " By the Time I Get to Phoenix " later in 1967, and " I Wanna Live (Glen Campbell song)|I Wanna Live " and " Wichita Lineman " in 1968. The 1969 song “True Grit” by composer Elmer Bernstein and lyricist Don Black, and sung by Campbell, who co-starred in the movie, received nominations for both the Academy Award for Best Song and the Golden Globe.

Campbell won two Grammy Awards for his performances on "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix".

His biggest hits in the late 1960s were the songs written by Jimmy Webb : "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," " Wichita Lineman ", " Galveston (song)|Galveston ", and "Where's the Playground, Susie? " An album of mainly Webb-penned compositions, Reunion: The Songs of Jimmy Webb , was released in 1974, but it produced no hit single records.

"Wichita Lineman" was selected as one of the greatest songs of the 20th century by Mojo (magazine)|Mojo magazine in 1997 and by Blender (magazine)|Blender in 2001.

1970s: The Goodtime Hour, Rhinestone Cowboy and Southern Nights


After he hosted a 1968 summer replacement for television's The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour variety show, Campbell hosted his own weekly variety show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour , from January 1969 through June 1972. At the height of his popularity, a 1970 biography by Freda Kramer, The Glen Campbell Story , was published.
With Campbell's session-work connections, he hosted major names in music on his show including: the Beatles (on film), David Gates and Bread (band)|Bread , the Monkees , Neil Diamond , Linda Ronstadt , Johnny Cash , Merle Haggard , Willie Nelson , Waylon Jennings , Roger Miller and helped launch the careers of Anne Murray , Mel Tillis and Jerry Reed who were regulars on his Goodtime Hour program.

In 1971, Campbell took the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on the road for two nights to The Muny in Forest Park (St. Louis, Missouri)|Forest Park , (the largest and oldest outdoor theatre in America) in St. Louis, Missouri .

He co-hosted the American Music Awards from 1976–78 and headlined the 1979 NBC special, Glen Campbell: Back To Basics with guest-stars Seals and Crofts and Brenda Lee . He was a guest on many network talk and variety shows, including: Donny & Marie (1976 TV series)|Donny & Marie , the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson , Cher , the Redd Foxx Comedy Hour , Merv Griffin , The Midnight Special (TV series)|The Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack , Dinah Shore|DINAH! , Evening at Pops with Arthur Fiedler and the Mike Douglas Show . From 1982–83 he hosted a 30-minute syndicated music show on NBC, the Glen Campbell Music Show .

In the mid-1970s, he had more big hits with " Rhinestone Cowboy (song)|Rhinestone Cowboy ", " Southern Nights (song)|Southern Nights " (both U.S. #1 hits), "Sunflower" (U.S. #39) (written by Neil Diamond ), and " Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.)|Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.)." (U.S. #11).

"Rhinestone Cowboy" was Campbell's largest-selling single, initially with over 2 million copies sold in a matter of months. Campbell had heard the songwriter Larry Weiss' version while on tour of Australia in 1974 and felt it was the perfect song for him to record. It was included in the Jaws (film)|Jaws movie parody song "Mr. Jaws", which also reached the top 10 in 1975. "Rhinestone Cowboy" continues to be used in movie soundtracks and TV shows, including " Desperate Housewives ", Daddy Day Care , and High School High .

Campbell made a techno/pop version of the song in 2002 with UK artists Ricardo Autobahn|Rikki & Daz and went to the top 10 in the UK with the dance version and related music video.

"Southern Nights," by Allen Toussaint , his other #1 pop-rock-country crossover (music)|crossover hit, was generated with the help of Jimmy Webb , who turned Campbell onto the song, and Jerry Reed , who inspired the famous guitar lick introduction to the song, which was the most-played jukebox number of 1977.

From 1971 PGA Tour|1971 to 1983 PGA Tour|1983 , Campbell was the celebrity host of the Northern Trust Open|Los Angeles Open , an annual professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour .
