I think what you are all missing, is Mr. Campbell knows what is happening, and before it has it's final say-so, he is. I applaud this, and insurable. He is OK. I commend this, well done. And the line, "and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.". just doesn't get sexier than that. Come to Chicago, come to Minneapolis..I would be honored, tear soaked and thankful to be a part of the audience. Rhinestone Cowboy..the embers are blazing..stay on the line.
What an incredible talent. How wonderful to know that he has lived his life knowing what he was meant to do and having the opportunity to always do it. Even now. And what a blessing for us too. Thank you so much Glen! I could never express in a way that was worthy enough, what your music has meant to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Know all about Alzheimer's. My dear mom has it and it has not been a bowl of cherries let me tell you. God keep Glenn strong and especially his family. Family struggles just as hard if not harder than the sufferer. Good luck and God bless you Glenn
@Thetusnicki My mom died of Alzheimer's. My thoughts are with you. It's such a wretched disease. You lose them twice. It was the most difficult time of my life, and I don't think I'll ever be the same again. I'm sending you lots of love.
I had never appreciated Country music until my French husband introduced me to this song and this man :-) Glen: I pray that this ugly disease will be rebuked from you in JESUS all powerful Holy Name! Be healed and be well.
...realmente una enfermad horrible, espero que al Señor Campbell le vaya excelente y reciba muucho amor y mucha ayuda y pido pasiencia y paz para su gente!!!!...
Glen has always been my favorite singer. Wichita Lineman is one of my favte songs. So sad, but courageous at the same time. He wants to play guitar until he no longer can do it any more. Very brave!
How wonderful he has chosen to go on and still play and tour! This interview made me sad for him though and I wish him the best. Thanks for the great music over the years, Glen!
Love Glen. Wichita Lineman is amazing; Jimmy Webb. Still have my original Rhinestone Cowboy. Seems like pop radio was more open back then; turn on the radio to one station and hear country, soul, rock, pop etc. Those two girls who were texting at the Grammys when he performing should have been thrown out of the building
I love Glen Campbell. I grew up listening to him. Not a record in the house until I bought a great
collection of him doing Hank Williams songs. We watched his show he hd great musical segments and guests. Wichita Lineman is amongst my most favorite songs ever and those
songs (By the Time I get to Phoenix, Gentle on My Mind) transcend their country music label.
And so I sit and remember and will play Wichita Lineman and dig up the lyrics and sing with
awee reminds me of my Daddy, he had Dementia which is a type of Alzheimers he was a great guitarist and performer but his age took him for a run and couldnt play his guitar in the last few years of especially the last few months of his life. i hope that Glen enjoys the rest of his life and does what my Daddy done and made it the best ending :D hope he has fun with his Alzheimers cos my Dad had a few great stories he told us :D :D
I am so sorry for the Campbell family.. My mom loved Glen Campbell even nameing her youngest child Kelli same as Glen's. It is so ironic that he has Alzhiemers. My mom had Alzheimers early and passed away in 2009. Its gonna be a very tough for this family as in other families that deal with this disease.. He is still singing great as always.. God Bless!
Glen Campbell, a true American icon. I grew up listening to his songs on the radio in the 60's;
almost like a soundtrack to my life. It's wonderful to see that he still has the ability to perform
and bring back good memories for the many fans he has, despite the Alzheimer's. I sincerely hope the best for Glen in his golden years, and thanks for all wonderful songs and great performances that warm the heart, and sooth the soul. The Wichita lineman is still on the line.
I think True Grit was the first movie I saw in a theater as a kid. I was just a few days shy of turning 8. When my parents and I left the movie theater I was raving about how much I loved the movie. I even got to buy the LP and I still have it...I also had a crush on Glen after that.hehe. Hearing him brings back good memories.
He's soon to be 76 years old. Just the fact that he's the age he is, doing what he's doing is impressive. I hear some musical mistakes - it makes me sad, but even with that - he's still fantastic. One of the greatest guitar players of our time. A genius player -
seeing this brought back memories...first album I ever tried to claim as mine was a best of album - had true grit, galveston, honey come back, try a little kindness, where's the playground susie and maybe half a dozen other hits. can't find it in the discography but its value as a collectors item was dashed when I was five - I tried to write may name on the waxy LP cover.
i am heartbroken. as a child i loved glen, as an adult i still love glen. i didnt know untill today he is sick. i am shattered...he is still so sexy...
my dad made me a fan, no choice really... but so glad now he did. but what amazes me about this horrible disease for Glen and his family, is that after seeing him perform last week in Killarney, Ireland. is that his has not lost ability to play the GUITAR...your music has a way of reaching out and touching people from all ages. well done Glen, there is not many that will be able to follow in your FOOTSTEPS..
I SHOWED MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER THIS VIDEO CLIP AND HER EYES FILLED WITH TEARS OF JOY AND SHE STOOD UP AND APPLAUDED HIM AS IF HE WAS IN THE ROOM SINGING FOR HER SHE WAS SO HAPPY.
@lgttb1 brilliant. this proves there is a God, or at least a force of divine harmony that has filled this man with unspekable genius. . .I see some dislikes on this comment board; who could dislike this ?
It makes my heart feel a twinge, my Mom loved you Glen and had all your albums. She had Alzheimers too. I have lost her and now knowing you are living with that scary disease make my heart sad. I sit here celebrating what would have been her 78th birthday listening to your recent performance and the tears flow and they are of the joy to hear you belt out this song. Loved it then and now. Prayers be with you as your mind's journey goes to that hiding place deep within. God bless you Glen C.
Ellen, thank you so much for honoring Glen. His Wichita Lineman album was among the very first I'd ever owned as a teen. As a so-called military brat we'd been living in Japan and I was dead broke, so my dad bought it for me at the Navy Exchange at Atsugi Naval Air Station. I'd been hooked on Glen Campbell (and all of his Jimmy Webb-penned classics) ever since.
the C.M.A's blew it with their horrible tribute to Glen.they ones that sang his songs sounded like drunks at a kareoke bar. why didn't they allow Glen to play ?
saw glen with my brother aweek ago in bristol,..he was great , you could see a differance in him,..his daughter was watching out for him every sec,.. but it was still a great performace,.. Made me feel warm of the memories, listening to him in my dads truck,..true grit,..with the duke,...also had tears in my eyes like i have now watching this,...hope you dont suffer glen...and thank you so much,..for being apart of my boy hood to man hood............your songs will stay in my heart for ever,
You sound better than ever and I love hearing this song "live". I've always loved you and you are truly one of our "greats". Please stay around forever.
Wow...Glen, you made a grown man weep! I have always loved this (and several other) song of yours, and even though I mostly listen to classic and hard Rock, your music has always touched and moved me. I remember hearing your songs, as a kid, on our car's AM radio as we traveled...like a soundtrack to our vacations. God be with you brother.
Glen, when I was teenager, I listened to all the classic rock acts, but I also listened to you as well, because talent knows no barriers, and your music is timeless. You provided the soundtrack to many lives who grew up in the sixties. Your new cd is fantastic, and your fans will see you pick-up many an award at the CMA'S.
all the best Glenn - how awesome touring/playing with your kids. Kudos to your strength in facing Alzheimers. The song gave me goosebumps - just love your voice.
I too, like a chap commenting below, went to see Glen in Nottingham, England tonight. To say that his voice has got more beautiful over time is a great under statement. I hope he stays in the same health that he has at the moment, and God-willing, we can welcome Glen back again next year. I couldn't bring myself to buy a "Goodbye" tee shirt, as that's too final. Thank you Glen, for the wonderful memories you still provoke, with all your songs, and especially Wichita Lineman. God bless x
Glen Campbell has always been one of my absolute favorite performers - he is one of the most amazing guitarists in ALL of the music industry!! Listen to Galveston - the guitar will blow you away!!!! God Bless You Glen - I love you so much and have since I was 12 years old!!!
In the interview with Ellen, I think you may hear this line repeated in the movie about Glen's life.
"Music is Healing" It definitely is.
What better way to battle this disease than having a Loving supportive wife and family in your corner. And also the band members from Instant People and T.J.
Thanks to all that love and support the legend of this man comes out here.
Thank you for sharing this! I loved this song as a little girl and I'm so thankful he can still sing it. Amazing how time marches on...Thanks Glenn for the memories and beautiful music. Hugs....
I am ashamed to admit that I used to not like this song, maybe because I heard too many people make fun of that opening line "I am a lineman for the county". Listening to the song without prejudice, I have now fallen in love with it. To quote Ken Tucker on NPR reviewing Glen's farewell album, "I wish Glen Campbell the best life he can possibly have".
damn it Glen ... you made me cry hearing this beautiful song again. i dug out my old cassette tape and drove down the highway last night with it on repeat remembering all of my lost loves . I hope God smile brightly upon you Glen.
He can still play with the best of them. Notice it takes a group of young guns to back him up, they are pretty good themselves or they would not be there. Glen Campbell actually was one of the best guitar players of his time and was a studio session player in LA in the sixties and is on many albums prior to his own solo career by Artists like Frank Sinatra and so on...
I still recall the Glenn Campbell Show when his parents were in the studio audience and he always made the point of telling everyone that he was from "Delight, Arkansas".....and that he was the top guitar "picker" of his time...he and I are about the same age and he can still sing better than me.!!! Thanks for the memories, Mr. Campbell
I am very glad that he can still play the guitar and also sing such a wonderful song..Am very touched and may god bless you always Glen...Keep on singing ..OK Frankie Ong from Brunei Darussalam..
@TheSean021 man i didn't notice the dude with the beard!...well this changes things...she just plays the same 4 chords over and over again ...i wudda rather watched the dude with the beard. lol
@TheSean021 SHE IS GLEN'S DAUGHTER AND IS A VERY TALENTED GUITAR PLAYER. SHE IS PLAYING THE SYNTHESIZER ON THIS SONG IN ORDER TO FILL IN FOR THE MISSING ORCHESTRA PARTS. NOW PULL YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR PANTS AND GO TO BED .
@TheSean021 U SHOULD BE BANNED FROM YAHOO FOR THAT FILTHY MOUTH OF YOURS. IT MAKES U SOUND STUPID AND UNEDUCATED. ALSO, IM SURE U COULDN'T GET A DATE WITH A GOOD WOMAN IF U TRIED. MAY G O D HAVE MERCY ON U.
this is one of the most beautiful sounding songs of all time. i love to hear it late at night while flying down the highway. it makes me smile and my eyes a little wet every time i hear it. thank you Glen
Im not into to country music (much) but this performance blew me away, congrats Mr. Campbell, I wish you well and good health in the future, take care and live outloud.
This is so awesome....my great grandpa had it...just amazes me how awesome he still is. Is it possible you could post "A Better Place" too? That song just makes me cry in a good way.
This is such a wonderful performance by a truly wonderful man and performer! Thank you so much Ellen for having Glen and his wife on your show. I grew up with the Glen Campbell show on TV for many years and he STILL has it!!! God bless you Glen in your battle with Alzheimer's disease. You are truly a gifted performer!
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
I doubt a lot of people will read this but if you happen to, I am a 17 year old singer/songwriter. I would to be on the ellen show! I love singing with a passion and I would love to do it for a career. Please help me make my dreams come true.

Please click the little thumbs up button so she will see this:) i love this show so much!!! Thank you! :)
just terrible. as a youth, these songs were for the ''older'' folk. now that I am one (lol), this song (and many others), bring a tear. Thanks Glenn. I wish all the best to you.
Wichita Lineman is a song written by Jimmy Webb. Glen Campbell is a national treasure. He played with a top notch group of studio musicians in the 50s 60s and 70s called the Wrecking Crew. They played on hundreds of hit records from Sinatra to the Monkees. Glen toured with the Beach boys.His daughter has said when they listen to the radio together about 1 in 4 songs he would say i played on that song. In his day nobody could touch him on guitar. The man is an icon.
Witchita Lineman was also my fav song of Glen Campbell. It was nice also to see his children backing him on this song. I wish they would find a cure for this disease.
Glen is amazing. He really is an inspiration for everyone no matter what your dealt. He's going on with his life. A remarkable talent. And for his age man can he still sing.
I love love love Glen. It's so horrible that he has alzheimers. He is an amazing singer and gutiar player, and eventually, he won't remember any of it. And it kills me. Love you, Glen!
Awesome! Glen Campbell can still sing it and pick it! And he still has a great sense of humor. Best of all, he is blessed with the Love and Support of his wonderful family.
This brings back my childhood. Glen Campbell was one of the voices that so often played in the background of our lives, along with Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton... Good memories. Thank you.
I think what you are all missing, is Mr. Campbell knows what is happening, and before it has it's final say-so, he is. I applaud this, and insurable. He is OK. I commend this, well done. And the line, "and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.". just doesn't get sexier than that. Come to Chicago, come to Minneapolis..I would be honored, tear soaked and thankful to be a part of the audience. Rhinestone Cowboy..the embers are blazing..stay on the line.

I am ashamed to admit that I used to not like this song, maybe because I heard too many people make fun of that opening line "I am a lineman for the county". Listening to the song without prejudice, I have now fallen in love with it. To quote Ken Tucker on NPR reviewing Glen's farewell album, "I wish Glen Campbell the best life he can possibly have".

He can still play with the best of them. Notice it takes a group of young guns to back him up, they are pretty good themselves or they would not be there. Glen Campbell actually was one of the best guitar players of his time and was a studio session player in LA in the sixties and is on many albums prior to his own solo career by Artists like Frank Sinatra and so on...

I still recall the Glenn Campbell Show when his parents were in the studio audience and he always made the point of telling everyone that he was from "Delight, Arkansas".....and that he was the top guitar "picker" of his time...he and I are about the same age and he can still sing better than me.!!! Thanks for the memories, Mr. Campbell

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

Wichita Lineman is a song written by Jimmy Webb. Glen Campbell is a national treasure. He played with a top notch group of studio musicians in the 50s 60s and 70s called the Wrecking Crew. They played on hundreds of hit records from Sinatra to the Monkees. Glen toured with the Beach boys.His daughter has said when they listen to the radio together about 1 in 4 songs he would say i played on that song. In his day nobody could touch him on guitar. The man is an icon.
