The Legacy Of Glen Campbell

After 40 years in the music business, Arkansas native Glen Campbell`s mind is packed with lyrics, melodies and show biz trivia. The sharecropper`s son has worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beach Boys, Merle Haggard, Dean Martin, Nat "King" Cole and many others. Now his musical journey is documented in a four-CD box set, "Glen Campbell: The Legacy 1961-2002." It`s and 80-song compilation. Campbell, now 67 years old, remembers something about everyone he worked with. Campbell was playing guitar in his uncle`s western swing band by the time he was a teenager. He moved to the West Coast in his early 20s and for a long time was known more as a session player than a solo artist. His commercial breakthrough was 1967`s "By The Time I Get to Phoenix," a song by Jimmy Webb. Like many of his hits, the song was embraced by country and pop audiences. Posted by Mike Hellgren
