This man beat booze and made his peace with God, and is now surrounded by a loving wife & kids on his last tour. No matter what happens with the Alzhiemers, this man is a WINNER!
This song brings me to tears...not sure if it's the message, the performance (awesome) or the fact that time is robbing us on one of the all-time greats. He's had a terrific career. And I've loved this song since Day 1. Thanks so much for posting it!!!
When I was a little girl, I used to listen to his songs usually 45's on my old record player. Life was so simple....I miss those days. God Bless Glenn.
Thank you so much for this video.When i was kid,i used too listen too this song and sing out loud when my family was away.Still love Glenn and so sorry too hear is ill.God bless you Glenn
Sadly it seems we may never get to see Glenn in concert again (it seems) over here in the UK we love Glenn. I have always loved his music, singing and without question he is a fearsome guitar player. A genuine musical legend who will live on. Thanks for posting this any idea where we can get this in the UK? doesn't seem to show up anywhere.
@bushidobonce check out his fansite , u can buy a dvd of this very show or a cd copy of which i bought both a few weeks ago . its sent to u from the states obviously lol but i cant stop playing it !!
Our band covers this song. It's a lot of fun to play, but being the bass player my bass line has to be solid. When it comes time for our guitar player to play a solo, all he has to do is listen to my bass line, which is the same as the line I play on the verse and the chorus, and I'll lead him home every time.
Such an awesome song !!!!!!!!!!! Good ole' country folk singing something as glorious as this. The radio is polluted with so much crap nowadays that not many people can see the beauty in a song like this. They don't put out many songs like this any more....what a shame.
My dad died on Sept. 14, 2010. I wanted to have this song played at his funeral service but it didn't happen. But the word "kindness" described my dad in no uncertain ways. There was no arguing the point from any quarter.
I was a little kid when Glen and John Wayne came to Dallas for the premier of "True Grit". We got the autographed pictures and all that. We still have the memories.
Glen sure enjoys and loves this, Almost as much as we have for over 50 years....
thanks Glen and thank you SD symphony..
While watching Glen, I can't help to think about Elvis Presley. they both loved music.
The Col would never have let Elvis have a show like Glen Had. Col Parker played Elvis just right by not over playing him.. If you have a chance look up Jimmy Webb. He sure had a lot to do with this and Rock and Roll...
At one point the Beach Boys were looking for a new singer. They dismissed one loser new singer named.....Glen Campbell!! I loved South Dakota and this song too.
@Phil0267 This fact re-affirms my belief in that everything happens for the best! Had Glen been with Beach Boys, he would have probably never turned out to be the legend we has come to be and denied us with his classic songs!
Awesome to see Glen Campbell is still performing. Iathought he was awesome years ago then but he is even better now seasoned with a warm quality to both voice and music. Go for it, Glen Campbell.
Great video; I like this version but my favorite of "Try a Little Kindness" - was on a Single record of his ---many, many years ago; not sure which Year; around 1970? Glen Campbell is a Wonderful Entertainer and Singer!
I think it's just the shoulder pads in the jacket...
Seriously, I believe since he's cleaned himself up from all the booze and drugs he works out alot to keep him in shape. Looks pretty good for his age...73.
Sorry I forgot the rest of the lyrics here you go Don't walk around the down and out Lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day Will help someone along their way You got to try a little kindness Yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
live or studio version = AWESOME

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
