Glen Campbell - Gentle on My Mind

[viniziin1]

Olha eu Gostei Muito do Video traduza para vocês entenderem oque eu Falo um Agradecimento do Brasil ♥

[Shyblues]

Its the late 60's, early morning, getting ready for school at Lytle Creek Elementary in San Bernardino, California, southern california,, my mom played this album almost every morning, and she would be happy. I loved to see her happy. She's 91 now and when I hear it, it takes me back to those simpler times.

[69ssrszl1]

Just love the strings vocals and lyrics,awesome.

[badlegend1]

He has a corduroy jacket on,havent seen that since I was a kid,I had a couple pair of corduroy pants...lol The seventys were good times.

[wef3247]

@badlegend1

I had the burgundy and then the grey Levi cords. That was stylish in the seventies when I was in school

[garyqsurf]

Few songs transport like Gentle on my mind, Wichita lineman and Galveston. Thnks Glenn for al the decades...

[kd5hms63]

Great to see the legend, Glen Campbell get the credit he richly deserved on the 2012 Grammy's! This super talented musician, singer, and songwriter has left a legacy of music that will transcend to one generation to another generation because it simply is that ...good!

[TheManFromAcme]

...I remember I was 10 years old leaving and moving from southern California in '76 to my parents beloved Texas and hearing my Pops, my Uncle Bob who helped us with the U-haul singing this tune and telling myself how much I was going to hate leaving the Pacific for the plains of Texas and facing the realization I would have to listen to country music. Well, 36 years displaced and I find myself humming this tune and loving Texas. Thanks Glen for a short walk down memory lane..time sure flies. : [

[ramses1948]

In my humble opinion, his best song. Love his guitar playing.

[jocodabest]

Great song, Glen Campbell has an amazingly sharp voice

[lewis12121]

I love this song, no chorus but really addictive

[619acacia]

I'm not a big country western fan, but this song brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. It was great to see him on the Grammy Awards.

[samscott54]

Another great John Hartford tune----- very special

[801liveable]

A great classic..The great Glen Campbell

[Nickie0016]

[missycake1]

Just a fabulous song - beautiful - timeless.

[speedsville]

Smooth song, great entertainer, and singer!

[DYNODRUM]

This ,Tune is the One; [if back then there was a walkman or Ipod,]- I,Would Ride off on my Horse .This, song keeps company with all encompassing emotion from any age , and still Holds a Profound place in and of The American Songbook...

[hockeycardboy84]

amazing song , hasnt this been covered by other famous singers??

[mortishia99]

knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk. no shackles. i traded the wichita lineman all my life for the pirate .. sigh..

[beanfromex11]

One of the nicest lyrics ever wriitten and performed perfectly

[wideout3989]

Maybe the best lyrics ever written performed magnificently by a special talent in Glenn Campbell.

[TheMustangsally75]

I don't give a RATS ASS who wrote it, I just LOVE that Glenn sang it!!! My dad, in his 80's now, rates this as one of his all time favs. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!! LOVE YOU DAD!!!

[flatswing]

Dad's favorite...RIP on first Christmas without you.

[LAWoman323213]

My mom used to play this song when I was a kid. I had forgotten all about it, until I recently heard Dean Martin's version.

[angelo062367]

who care's which one wrote the song, it is a great old country song that i grew up and to this day i still listen to great songs like this that help me get through my days, when i can sit back and rember when there was a time when things were a lot easyer and a lot cheaper.

[TheTerryreed]

you have to give it to him great song

[science01010]

Rivers of my memories.

All the best Mr. Campbell.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

I think that Mr. Campbell greatly transcends country music as a genre. His art has moved into that rare atmosphere; it is universal.

[pirolozzi1stson1]

One Of My Favorite Glen Campbell Songs Ever. I Would Love To Listen To His New Album Ghost On The Canvas. I Felt Scared That Glen Campbell Has Alzheimer's Disease. But His Music Lives On Permanently. This Will Be My Permanent Favorite Song.

[vm24seven365]

What can I say...Excellent!!! Thank you Glen Campbell for this music!!! Peace.

[winsome1235]

Glen Campbell was my introduction to country music. Great memories.

[spank863]

allways makes my foot tap...brilliant song.

[onkelmichael27]

Eins der Besten Lieder aller Zeiten

[PriestSat78]

song written by Jimmy Webb

[60otaku3]

No, this song was written by John Hartford, not Jimmy Webb.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[PriestSat78]

@60otaku3 oh, i'm sorry :)

[ronfowlermusic]

@60otaku3 THAT'S RIGHT!

[bluskytrvlr]

@PriestSat78 No I don't think so, I met John Hartford personally in 1978 and he mentioned he had written it...................

[marklanger2007]

@PriestSat78 You "ninny" It was JOHN HARTFORD all the way....Jimmy Webb did "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" among many others. Get it right!

[AngelicMia6969]

@marklanger2007 Ha ha ha ha ha ninny LOL

[69ssrszl1]

Have always hated country music but Glen is the exception, great guitar player sings with volume, emotion and soul, unlike the bland monotone sounds the same country.

[cohs1968]

I've never been a big Glen Campbell fan, but I love this song!

[knuffy101]

!!! One of the best songs ever !!! Greetings fom Cologne in Germany - Michael !!!

I love this song! My Dad would play it in the car on our way back from school and he'd belt it out and stumble over the lyrics. Haha. :)

[Lv2Wn2]

He was a great performer - saw him in Lake Tahoe - he came out on stage singing this song and came to our table to shake hands with a man who couldn't see well. Wonderful performance!!!

[silvertime18]

This is a jimmy Webb song. One of the finest songs ever crafted. Just try to follow the words. Nothing short of magnificent!

[YZippy]

@silvertime18 I think this one is by someone else other than Webb.

[bellier20]

@silvertime18 John Hartford.

[centralparocker]

Poignant yet very enlightening....words only a genius could put down on paper....

[ESmithStringSlinger]

I'm here because my belts on my B&O turntable needs belts.Otherwise,I'd listen to the LP.Also listening to Glen because I can't make it to his show tomorrow night at Black Bear Casino.LONG LIVE GLEN CAMPBELL!!!

[bulldawgbob]

Thanks for posting this great old Glen Campbell song written by John Hartford. It's the 1st adult song my 1 year old grandson (who is 6 now) ever requested I replay and replay and replay. ha ha

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, bulldawgbob-san!!

Otaku3 (*^_^)b

[towerful1]

This could possibly be the greatest lyrics ever.

[theJetta1995]

Wow! Memories that are truly gentle on my mind. Great times back then.

[NeilYoungAdmirer]

John Hartford RIP? They're going fast....

[TheMrELO]

So wonderful!

[boogieboy612]

God Bless you Glenn!

[229jop888]

fantastic music, excellent

[trumanwiz]

@greatwhitebufffalo

Amen

[TacomaPaul]

Glen is going to TRY to tour..... great article in Sep. 1st issue of Rolling Stone (#1138) with Glen knowing that he knows yet doesn't know what's happening.

Sad, but inspiring. And his NEW cd is quite awesome. Really.

And I'm a Zeppelin and Alice Cooper and Pink Floyd fan.

[vanbock]

Compare and contrast with "Rap". 

[bellier20]

@vanbock You mean "compare and retch" don't you?

[angelo062367]

this song always reminds me of when my grandmother always use to tell me, always rember where you come from. to this day i still rember her telling me that like it was yesterday.

[MrRonnieG]

Took the love of my life (Kathy) to see Glen at the old Melodyland (a venue "in the round") in Anaheim, California during the summertime of 1968 ~ a great concert. It's heartbreaking to know what Glen and his family are going thru these days. Here's to you Glen, for all you & your music have meant to so many people for so many years.

[puff000100]

Back in the 80's I use to travel around the country '' via'' THUMB, So I can totaly relate to this song, It is a masterpiece in my book !

[brookeperk93]

through cupped hands round a tin i pretend to hold you to my breast and find .................a song that imposes scent, touch, color, albeit black and white,and a conviction of guilt in our failed relationships.....brilliant glen,,,brilliant

[Naotoshi100]

この曲もちゃんとアップされてたんですね！ありがとうございます­。

男の人生の物語そのものですよね～こういう曲はホント大好きです­。ディーンマーティン、フランクシナトラのこの曲のカバーも本当­によく出来てると思いますし、キャンベルのものと共にいつも聴い­てます。　この曲は誰が歌ってもシックリくる数少ない曲ですよね。

[60otaku3]

Naotoshi100さん、コメントをありがとうございます！

グレンキャンベルを一躍有名にしたジョンハートフォードの名曲で­すね。

歌詞の内容が分からないこともあって昔はそれほどこの歌が好きで­はなかったのですが、ある時ディーンマーティンのカバーバージョ­ンをラジオで聴いて見直すキッカケとなりました。 

[tadroid]

What an awesome voice. The lyrics actually tell a story with an appreciation of the English language!

[goodfriends5573]

lol msmtngrrl,we both are. tom

[dkstryker]

Man I love Glen's version just as much as Elvis's version!!

[Beejjjjjj]

@dkstryker , I never knew Elvis sang this song. This Glen Campbell version is the only one I've heard, and I've heard it many, many, many times over the course of many, many years.

[SuperLes1950]

great song



[goodfriends5573]

remember his show?

[MsMtnGrrl]

@goodfriends5573 All too well. I'm dating myself here.

[TheMustytube]

I was born in 1967 and I love this song. Glenn Campbell is a great singer conveying emotions very easily.

[gladUcameAgain]

I like smokin' a little weed and listen to Glen.

Glen use to smoke weed at the height of his career, according to a source who knows him personally..

[15bluethings]

what a voice. One of the best.

[A4est]

thanks for the memories

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, A4est-san!!

[bravotangotango]

Glen Campbell started out as a songwriter/guitar player. After he wrote this song, he went to pitch it to another singer. He didn't know he was being recorded while he was singing it to them. They ended up releasing Glen's recording which was done in one take.

[theghostofbonscott]

@bravotangotango

Bollocks, I'm afraid. John Hartford wrote this song, not Glen Campbell.

[fab42]

@bravotangotango This song was written by John Hartford......not Glen Campbell.

[rustyhopp]

Thank you for giving us this lovely version Glen ... Thank you Mr. Hartford for writing this anthem to my youth

[glimmer2158]

Bob Dylan should have recorded this song.

[cunard61]

Nobody writes songs of this caliber anymore. The lyrics and the tune are true masterpieces. Clearly, Glen Campbell was the perfect choice to sing this remarkable song. It remains a personal favorite for my father. Thank you so much for posting it.

[60otaku3]

You're very welcome, cunard61-san!!

A truly great song...perfectly rendered by Glen Canpbell

[ishredu]

"artists who emote the most are the best"~ Buddy Rich Thank you Glenn

[basemassey]

This album got me singing when i was young,very pleasant.

[buck62sugar]

Wow, this song paints such a picture. It's like a 3 minute movie. Great songs will do that.

[TheLuddie]

My Dad had it on a 8 track tape. We went on long family trips in the great american invention, the station wagon. Great memories..thanks DAD

[blockcl]

Genuine American poetry,beautifully performed.

[Pruner15]

@blockcl AMEN !

[cynthiacher]

John Hartford wrote this amazing song. What a talented, gifted musician he was.

[avengerspeel]

Even if you hate R&B, "Strawberry Letter 23" from the early 70's has lyrics comparable to this amazing masterpeice. In both songs, someone was reaching for something approaching the heights and power of poetry, not just a gimmicky hit. I know I'm black, but "Honky Tonk Heroes" gives me goosebumps too. I was raised to hate country but I found George Strait's "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" album and it cured me of a lot of things. You country folks kick ass!! Your really do.

[littlelambkins12]

I like rhinestone cowboy and this song there my favourites i`m glad my mum has his cd! For people out there i`m not a grown up i`m 10.

[rodaspen]

glen dont let anything get in your way, you done it great job young man, you are Arkansas guitar legend. hang in there keep playing that old guitar ,rod says also John Denver would also agree with me.You went and proved that you did it your way Glen and it great. you have influenced alot of people, so you love playingthat old guitar,you have always been damn good at whaed to do entertain the people you will always have that . so just keep on picking and grinning glen

[MrWoodsWalker]

That guitar rhythm is awesome.

[MyAfterall]

Masterpiece!

[cebrownf]

You will always be Gentle on our minds Glen, no matter what. You won't be forgotten by your fans. Keep your chin up and those fingers pickin'

[blovejoy2011]

It's funny how we all think that these talented people will be around forever, and today hearing that Glen has been diagnosed with Alzheimers...makes me so sad, I had the opportunity to see him in concert and met him in the early 80's...God did I have a crush on him..

[kat3dev]

This is one of my favorites. Just heard that Glen Campbell has alzheimer's... so sad! His talent will go on....

[efrem1]

Hope to see you in Phoenix one last time Mr. Campbell. Somewhere my brother has those old LPs of yours that my Mom bought years ago.

[kiaoraguy]

another light from our past begins to dim

[sapphireangels7]

I'm an R&B girl, but I do love good country music with a good story & meaning. : )

[savantleo]

this song has always been running gently on my mind.

[ricmarc]

the perfect combination of singer and song.

[MrAvamarz43]

avamarz43: cantantes con el estilo de este señor ya casi no existen mucho por el

[Bumptiously]

John Hartford wrote it. Glenn Campbell sings the heck out of it. But go check out Aretha Franklin's version....yes, she does a really different version on her album "Soul 69". A great song stands up to many interpretations. Now if someone would just convince Aretha to tap dance while singing and playing the banjo the way John Hartford did.....

[MissTeenPregnancy]

one of the few songs that gives me a sense of journey and freedom

[annielouism]

I was 10 and it effects me more now then it ever did.. great song Glenn

[wdeatonjr]

I was 5 when this was recorded and at 49 I love this song

[hibiscusfreak]

@wdeatonjr Me too. I loved it at age 5 and still do today.

[samuel63867]

Não é á toa que John Hartford processou Roberto e Erasmo Carlos por plagiarem esta sua composição em "Caminhoneiro" (1984). A melodia da versão de Roberto Carlos é praticamente idêntica, e só o estribilho é diferente. Hartford certamente ganhou a causa, pois hoje "Caminhoneiro" é considerada versão da dupla Roberto & Erasmo Carlos para este hit de Glen Campbell em 1967. Ouça as duas versões e compare!

[txncgirl1]

what a sweet thought...."gentle on my mind"...my, my, my:=):=) we luv you jimmy & glenn!

[aknowneemus]

jimmy webb and john hartford knew how to write to glen's strenths!

[imogenallison]

Lovely song. XX :-D

[PHJimY]

Better yet, listen to John & Glen do it together.

[khammas2011]

both this version and elvis's are good// sp beautiful song, it is gentle on my ears :)

[Taurosnake]

It's so good, it reminds me of that long lost love...It hurts my heart. In a good way.

[avengerspeel]

Noone writes like this anymore. The lyrics are astounding! Mr. Campbell was perfect for this masterpeice. Hearing him sing this song is a gift I'm forever thankful for. Thankyou.

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, avengerspeel-san!!

Otaku3 d(^_^)b

[402maypo]

@avengerspeel This was written by John Hartford. the combination of John and Glenn produced several great songs.

[TGS556]

@avengerspeel

There are some nice versions of Glen doing it with John Hartford, who wrote it.

[theprofessor1955]

@avengerspeel Written by the late great John Hartman.......

[detective166]

@avengerspeel John Hartford wrote this song.

[Telelikeitis]

@avengerspeel Words and Music is by John Hartford and your right, noone writes like this anymore.

[1927Norma]

Magic, talent is no longer in music..this reminds me it once use to exist...great marriage of lyrics and a tune....(was never a fan of country; now I am ) wish we had more song writers...songs we will want to hear years after they were hits....anything recently anyone really wants to hear 20 years later???

[tunesmith09]

Mr. Glen,in a previous life,in my rear-view mirror,when I played in bars, lounges, and restaurants...sang this one while my buddy played banjo and I played his Martin steel string. Felt so blessed when the prime time band praised us for performing "Today Is Mine" (written by Jerry Reed...aka Jerry Hubbard). Glen fans...please check out "I Remember You" and "Mull of Kintyre" (by Glen but written and also recorded by Paul McCartney)...Tunesmith09

[frizzlefrap]

what a talented guy ..... i don't even like country that much, but always like glen ..... he just had that certain thing that i can't explain .... lyrics great too ..... and i don't even care for them very much in most songs. too bad the hooch affected his future talent!

[47tooter]

Benny Hill does this ! Its halarious  !

[frizzlefrap]

@47tooter ........ i miss old benny ..... slappin that bald guy on the head all the time ....... especially like when they played "bonnie and clyde" ..... or ..... spoof of "charlie's angels" ...... hillarious!

[kaja66]

a great song - lyrics, guitar and vocal  --- a-1

[meseniusful]

I had no idea this gem of a song even existed until I ran into it on a for-promotion-only disc by Brian Setzer, performing it in a very blue-grassy style on a German radio station back in 2001.

[rfef5]

It reminds me of Walt Whitman poetry.

[grapevinelane]

What a great singer, entertainer and musician he is. Legendary.
