The Rockford Files meets Glen Campbell

One of my favourite tv shows Rockford Files with stills augmented by a great song from one of my favourite singers, Glen Cambell, a Jimmy Webb composition from the 1974 album 'Reunion'. It shows some stills from show plus great scenery from Paradise Cove in Malibu where Jim had his trailer.
I think it would have made a great episode to have had Glen in a cameo role back in the 70's episodes. Stephen Cannell, a driving force behind the show and the likes of the A Team passed away recently, this is a small tribute to him too.

@tulllguy Don't know who owns it, it's similar to one Rocky used in an episode, if not the same

Sorry I missed that. What song was it? I'd imagine it would be "If you could read my mind". That would make a good basis for a video. Scott

@francophile50 Thanks again, I did put a Rockford Files meets Gordon Lightfoot on youtube, but it was taken down due to Warner Music objecting.

Simon, Thank you so much for your creation of such a beautiful video. It complements the series well. I hope you make more if you are so inclined. I'll watch them and appreciate them. Scott
