  • Glen Campbell gets my vote as the most underrated artist of his era. Great talent.

  • Glen writes a good song.

  • Anyone know who the banjo player is? He doesn't look like John Hartford and I thought it might be Mike Seeger, but he looks like a fill-in and probably is just another nobody. Bob

  • @bobhedstrom That's Larry McNeely. He followed-up John Hartford, and believe me, when it was his turn to play, he was unbelievable.

  • I love how Ms. Jackie rocks back and forth when Mr. Campbell starts playing the 12' string. What a fantastic song!  The two are in history! May God Bless this!

  • Back before the devil came and took it all away

  • This is much better than the album version. Jackie D and the 12-string -- and the echoes of "Blowin' in the Wind" in the guitar riff -- make this not just a fine song but a thrill to hear.

  • GLen is a fantastic songwriter

  • They should have recorded more together, their voices are amazing together!

  • i love any vid w/ Jackie !

  • This socially conscious, good Samaritan rock: a brief and unique moment in Amer. history. Could such a time ever return? Or were they just empty dreams to begin with, without effective actions to match them? Inequity has only deepened. Perhaps they were both far-fetched and realistic. Either way, to see such messages hit the mass market was a rare and special phenomenon.

  • If I'm not mistaken it looks like Larry McNeely playing with Glen and Jackie. He's one heck of a musician on banjo and guitar and who knows what else.

  • I wish we still heard music like this on TV today

  • Good performance which would have been great if Jackie wasn't undermiked.

  • John Hartford, Jackie DeShannon and Glen Campbell. That's some serious singing, songwriting and instrumental talent there on that one bench.

  • nice song

  • What a great message in this song! I wish we could all take it to heart. None of us are any better than the other.

  • A song we all need

  • One of Glen Campbell's best. Jackie DeShannon is great in this one. Thanks for posting this.

  • hmmm, seems to be along the vain of,try a little kindness.

  • very nice!

  • genius. pure, completely genius

  • Thank you so much for putting this song here. I learnt this song when I was in school, and every time after that whenever worry overtakes me, I sing this song to myself and it gives me so much strength. Now I have taught this song to my children as well.

  • I'd forgotten all about this song. My grade 4 teacher made us sing it EVERY DAY. I guess she thought the message would sink in eventually.

  • Great song!!! Glen is a GENIUS!!!!

  • glenn never made out he was a great song writer just listen to his great vocals and guitar work AFTER ALL HOW MANY SONGS DID THE KING OR SINATRA WRITE

  • Sinatra the most over rated singer of the 20th century and not a nice person by all accounts. Jackie , Glenn amd the King actually had talent and could all sing much better. imho.

  • jackie is such a treasure to us of the "60's". what a time to have experienced.

  • f'in GREAT ... check out bonnie prince billy

  • great song !

  • A very well written song! I love the harmony and lyrics!

  • of course jackie has written more than 600 songs

  • ONe of the very few songs Glen actually wrote.Teriffic song!!

  • Fantastic version of a great song! Thanks for posting this.

  • Oh man... she is such a sweetie...

  • She used to be Jimmy Page's girlfriend.

  • tell me more

  • glen is truly a fine musician..

  • If only todays musicians could write or sing a song that dosen't keep repeating the word "I" over and over.

  • what a lovely, mendacious fox she is.

  • A liar... you must be lascivious in your intellectual contemplation of the realative cerebral synapse of the sweet little thing!

  • er..whatever

  • lyrics to change your life. beautiful

  • I believe this is one of the best country songs ever written!

  • Phenomenal to say the least!

  • This is a really nice Clip of Glen and Jackie singing together,also @ YouTube Marc Jones Vocalist he sings well check him out!!

  • Good song with a very good arrangement that borrowed heavily from Glen Campbell's own recorded duet with singer Bobbie Gentry. Campbell's vocal on this version was overmixed way up front, almost to the point that the multitalented pop-rock legend extraordinaire Jackie DeShannon was reduced to contributing a backing vocal.

  • Classy song sung by a couple of classy performers.Thanks for putting this on.

  • Nice done, but I prever The Everly's as the best in this song.

  • I've never heard this song done like this before. It's different. But I like it old way to.

  • Jackie DeShannon, ooh boy! Wish they'd come out with a video of just the musical performances from his show. Excellent!

  • Great Song - Wonderful Lyrics - the kind of song you'd expect Glen to write :D :D - BRAVO !! - :)

  • let me be fit and trimmed

  • Jackie I Love UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

  • nice little tune

  • Everly Bros. did a great version of this on their "Roots" album - with James Burton on Guitar.

  • Since Glen is not known as a composer, I was surprised to hear him say that he wrote this one. Very catchy, sung happily, effortlessly with perfect pitch and masterful 12-string guitar. What a natural, major talent. I really enjoyed this one.

  • beautiful!!!!

  • I went to Catholic grade school and my 5th grade class sang this for our annual music fest. It's a nice little ditty.
