|  It isn't accurate to call Glen Campbell "pure country," but his smooth    |

|  fusion of country mannerisms and pop melodies and production techniques   |

|  made him one of the most popular country musicians of the late '60s and   |

|  '70s. Campbell was one of the leading figures of country-pop during that  |

|  era, racking up a steady stream of Top Ten singles, highlighted by        |

|  classics like "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "I Wanna Live," "Wichita    |

|  Lineman," "Galveston," "Rhinestone Cowboy," and "Southern Nights."        |

|  Boasting Campbell's smooth vocals and layered arrangements, where steel   |

|  guitars bounced off sweeping strings, those songs not only became         |

|  country hits, they crossed over to the pop charts as well, which was      |

|  appropriate, since that is where he began his musical career.             |

|  Originally, he was a Los Angeles session musician, playing on hits by     |

|  the Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Merle Haggard. By the end  |

|  of the '60s, he had become a successful solo artist, and that success     |

|  would not abate until the late '80s, when he stopped having radio hits    |

|  and began concentrating on live performances at his theater in Branson.   |

|                                                                            |

|  Campbell was born and raised in Delight, AR, where he received his first  |

|  guitar when he was four years old. Learning the instrument from various   |

|  relatives, he played consistently throughout his childhood, eventually    |

|  gravitating toward jazz players like Barney Kessel and Django Reinhardt.  |

|  While he was learning guitar, he also sang in a local church, where he    |

|  developed his vocal skills. By the time he was 14, he had begun           |

|  performing with a number of country bands in the Arkansas, Texas, and     |

|  New Mexico area, including his uncle's group, the Dick Bills Band. When   |

|  he was 18, he formed his own country band, the Western Wranglers, and     |

|  began touring the South with the group. Four years later, Campbell moved  |

|  to Los Angeles, CA, where he became a session musician.                   |

|                                                                            |

|  Shortly after arriving in California, Campbell earned the reputation of   |

|  being an excellent guitarist, playing on records by Bobby Darin and Rick  |

|  Nelson. In 1960, he briefly joined the instrumental rock & roll group     |

|  the Champs, who had the hit single "Tequila" two years earlier. The       |

|  following year, he released his debut single, "Turn Around, Look at Me,"  |

|  on the small Crest label; the single reached number 62 later in the       |

|  year. By the summer of 1962, he had released "Too Late to Worry ù Too     |

|  Blue to Cry" on Capitol Records; the single only spent two weeks on the   |

|  charts, peaking at 76. While he was tentatively pursuing a solo career,   |

|  Campbell continued to play professionally, most notably for Elvis         |

|  Presley and Dean Martin. Also in 1962, he played guitar and sang on       |

|  "Kentucky Means Paradise," a single by the one-off group the Green River  |

|  Boys, who released an album, Big Bluegrass Special. "Kentucky Means       |

|  Paradise" became a hit on the country charts, climbing to number 20.      |

|  Instead of pursuing a full-fledged country career after the single's      |

|  release, Campbell returned to studio work, and over the next two years    |

|  he played on sessions by Frank Sinatra ("Strangers in the Night"), Merle  |

|  Haggard ("The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde"), the Monkees ("I'm a           |

|  Believer"), the Association, and the Mamas & the Papas, among many        |

|  others.                                                                   |

|                                                                            |

|  Following Brian Wilson's breakdown and retirement from the road in 1965,  |

|  Glen Campbell became a touring member of the Beach Boys for several       |

|  months. At the end of his tenure as the group's temporary bassist, the    |

|  Beach Boys offered him a permanent spot in the band, but he turned them   |

|  down when they wouldn't allow him to have an equal cut of the group's     |

|  royalties. A few months after rejecting the band's offer, the Beach       |

|  Boys' record label, Capitol, offered Campbell a full-fledged contract.    |

|  His first release under his new long-term Capitol contract was a version  |

|  of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "The Universal Soldier," which peaked at number   |

|  45. For much of 1966, he continued to pursue studio work, but he          |

|  released "Burning Bridges" toward the end of the year, and it climbed to  |

|  number 18 on the country charts early in 1967.                            |

|                                                                            |

|  During 1967, Capitol pushed Campbell as a country recording artist, and   |

|  their breakthrough arrived in the late summer when his folky country-pop  |

|  rendition of John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind" became a Top 40 hit on   |

|  both the country and pop charts. By the end of the year, he had released  |

|  a cover of Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," which reached     |

|  number two on the country charts, and number 26 on the pop charts. Early  |

|  in 1968, "Gentle on My Mind" won the Grammy Award for Best Country &      |

|  Western Recording of 1967. Campbell's success continued in 1968, as "I    |

|  Wanna Live" became his first number one hit and "Dreams of the Everyday   |

|  Housewife" reached number three. The following year, CBS television       |

|  hired him to host the variety show The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour,      |

|  which became quite popular and helped establish him as not only a         |

|  country star, but a pop music superstar.                                  |

|                                                                            |

|  Throughout the late '60s and early '70s, Campbell continued to rack up    |

|  hit singles, including the number one hits "Wichita Lineman" (1968) and   |

|  "Galveston" (1969), plus the Top Ten singles "Try a Little Kindness"      |

|  (1969), "Honey Come Back" (1970), "Everything a Man Could Ever Need"      |

|  (1970), and "It's Only Make Believe" (1970). In 1968, he began recording  |

|  duets with Bobbie Gentry, and they had hit singles with their versions    |

|  of two Everly Brothers songs: "Let It Be Me," which reached 14 in 1969,   |

|  and "All I Have to Do Is Dream," which peaked at number six in 1970.      |

|  Also in 1969, he began a film career, appearing in the John Wayne movie   |

|  True Grit that year and Norwood the following year.                       |

|                                                                            |

|  By 1972, Campbell's record sales started slipping. After "Manhattan       |

|  Kansas" reached number six that year, he had trouble having Top 40 hits   |

|  for the next two years. Furthermore, his television show was canceled.    |

|  As his career slowed, he began sinking into drug and alcohol addiction,   |

|  which continued even through his mid-'70s revival. In 1975, he returned   |

|  to the Top Ten with "Rhinestone Cowboy," a huge hit that reached number   |

|  one on both the country and pop charts. Over the next two years, he had   |

|  a number of Top Ten country hits, including "Country Boy (You Got Your    |

|  Feet in L.A.)" and "Don't Pull Your Love"/"Then You Can Tell Me           |

|  Goodbye," which also reached the pop charts. In 1977, he had his final    |

|  number one hit with "Southern Nights," which topped both the country and  |

|  pop charts.                                                               |

|                                                                            |

|  Following the success of "Southern Nights" and its follow-up,             |

|  "Sunflower," Campbell stopped reaching the country Top Ten with           |

|  regularity, yet he had a string of lesser hits and was an immensely       |

|  popular performer in concert and television. During the mid-'80s, he      |

|  experienced a brief commercial revival, as the singles "Faithless Love,"  |

|  "A Lady Like You," and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" all reached the   |

|  country Top Ten. By that time, he had begun to clean up his act. Over     |

|  the course of the mid-'80s, he kicked his addictions to drugs and         |

|  alcohol and became a born-again Christian. Appropriately, he began        |

|  recording inspirational albums, yet he didn't abandon country music. As   |

|  late as 1989, Campbell's smooth, synth-laden contemporary country-pop     |

|  was reaching the country Top Ten; his last two Top Ten country hits were  |

|  "I Have You" (1988) and "She's Gone, Gone, Gone" (1989).                  |

|                                                                            |

|  Campbell began recording less frequently in the early '90s, especially    |

|  since he could no longer reach the charts and the radio, since they were  |

|  dominated by new country artists. Over the course of the decade, he       |

|  gradually moved into semi-retirement, concentrating on golf and           |

|  performing at his Goodtime Theater in Branson, MO. In 1994, he published  |

|  his autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy.                                     |

|                                                                            |
