  • @analyzingfunny I think Roy Hamilton did "Unchained Melody" first, from the movie "Unchained", about that Chino prison without walls. -and Al Hibbler covered it. But they were neck in neck at about the same time, so I might be wrong.

  • It should be obvious that Glenn didn't hear the question right, because his answer was "Unchained Melody, which of course was an old pop standard, which Bobby Hatfield got a hold of." So, he didn't hear the guy right asking if there was a Jim webb song he wish he'd recorded. He thought the guy was asking the usual "Is there a song you wish you had recorded". A hearing problem, nothing more

  • @chucksummer No problem. Great song, great singer (Campbell) and Jimmy Webb is a genius.

  • @Loejyrrab I think you need to go back and watch the video again. He never claims that Webb wrote "Unchained Melody." He stated that he wished he would have recorded it.

  • I think there's a mistake here. Glen claims that Webb wrote Unchained Melody. Alex North and Hy Zaret, however, were the composers. Just setting the record straight.

  • Great talent and a good guy, Glenn Campbell.:-)

  • Glen Campbell knew a good thing when he heard it! It was like the "Perfect Musical Storm"!

  • A few years back, when my buddy was running Malibu Country Club, I played a round of golf with him and his buddy Cisco. Those two were were total crack ups; reeling off jokes left and right, They could have gonna on the road as a comedy team. Even with all the great work that he has done, that's how I know and will know Glen Campbell. If he is ill, I wish he gets better. I'd like to hit another 18 with those guys

  • Golden, that is very sad. I hope that somehow his illness will improve. I always liked GC. He played bass for one of my favorite bands, the Beach Boys, and sang the songs of my favorite songwriter, Jimmy Webb.

  • I agree with gejopari. I think Glen just misunderstood the question.
