True Grit by Glen Campbell

ParsonRobert @ www.libertybiblefellowship.com recommends this wonderful song. A great song for a great movie. A story of how justice prevails in the untamed West. John Wayne is at his best, and his costars are wonderful as well. Glen Campbell & Kim Darby. The title song, "True Grit", hit # 35 on the Pop Charts, # 7 on the Country Charts, & #7 on the Adult Contemporary Chart.

I'm an African American male who grew up listening to Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, and the Supremes, but I just love Glen Campbell and he has to be rated as one of the greatest guitarist of all time!

[parsonrobert]

@calvinethompson I grew up listening to all that music too! Those were the days my friend! Thanks!

Love Glen Campbell's voice,shame to hear about his illness.

If he's doing a farewell tour i'd love to go and see him.

Shitty illness, the chap himself obviously has true grit.

[parsonrobert]

@Mrsimonjolly My wife & I went to see him about 4 years ago. He was as talented in voice and on guitar, as ever. Yes, I pray he will find true grit during this time in his life.

Best regards,

ParsonRob

"A story of how justice prevails in the untamed West"

Pardon me for saying, but the film seemed like a typical revenge story to me, hardly about "justice."

@dracosummoner PS. After going to you channel page, I realized what hypocrisy was in your comment! Check out some of those movies and books and games you listed! You my friend, need to get out a little more!

ive always loved this song and movie :)

@voiceofelijah2012 Liked both, myself. Both are close to the book by Portis and thus both have a good story and are well made. My favourite version is the one from the 60s, because I like certain things a little better...the cinematography being one thing (2010 version did have good cinematography too, though). And I have the best memories of this 'True Grit'.

@voiceofelijah2012 I agree, but I found and read the book and the latest version is very true to the story., still doesn,t come close to the original.

I saw True Grit at the movies in 1969. It was terrific. The title song did what movie songs are supposed to do: allow you to relive the movie in your mind. I saw Glen in concert 3 or so years ago at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC. He did this song as well as many of his other hits. He also surprised me by playing the bagpipes. He is a talented and versatile entertainer. Re: True Grit; the one line in the movie I remember is a Glen Campbell line, "I ain't dead yet you bushwacker."
