@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
@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.
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.

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

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

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