Glen Campbell - If You Go Away (Rare clip) [HD video]

[mindycrane]

@ SixtiesPopGold1 - I understand it's from the Bob Hope show. Any idea of the year???

[mindycrane]

Absolutely beautiful. He made singing so effortless that he has been under-appreciated for his vocal talents; not even to mention his supreme talent on the guitar.

A great version...

I remember seeing him sing this live on a TV show, around 1968. Not sure what show but he seems to be this one, I remember him being in a jail cell (setting) . I stood and watched/listened to every second of it. The most beautiful song (and voice)- I hadn't heard it by the others who did it (a lot in french).yet. I went right out and found the album it was on Witchita Lineman (that song is on it). I recorded "If You Go Away" on a tape over and over and played it while doing yoga..

After ,I left Asia ,In 74 ,Never heard about Glen,but I listen his song, friend had his old

LP.

For me his songs were like Opium to me,reliving all uncomfortable loneliness.

Thanks for bringing this one on You Tube

Campbell sings Brel! I had never seen this before. I am really glad that I bumped into it. Very nice. Anybody know what show this is taken from?

[SixtiesPopGold1]

@Kedz65 It's from Bob Hope Show.

[69currahe]

@SixtiesPopGold1 Are sure its from the Bob Hope Show? It looks like it was from his TV show. The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour….. on CBS

[SixtiesPopGold1]

@69currahe The DVD that I got said it was from the "Bob Hope Show". Besides, when the "Glen Campbell Good Time Hour" started in 1969 or 1970, Glen had grown some sideburns.

I remember listening to this song on my brother's stereo back in the seventies and I couldn't get over how beautiful it was. Yrs this was original a french and Jimmy Webb translated in English. One of the beautiful love songs ever!!!

@tjmwine Rod McKuen re-interpreted the lyrics of the Jacques Brel song, Ne Me Quitte Pas, as If You Go Away. The original French lyrics are darker but both versions are beautiful.

@Lady0nline

This song is on his 1968 Wichita Lineman album and also on his 1977 Live At The Royal Festival Hall album.

The original was "Ne me quittes pas" (do not leave me) by Jacques Brel who wrote it.
