Some of Glen Campbellâs happiest moments have happened with a guitar strapped around his neck. One of country musicâs most legendary performers, Campbell broke down barriers and was the true crossover king.
In over 50 years in the music industry, Campbell released over 70 albums including 12 gold, four platinum, and one double platinum, sold 45 million records, and had 80 songs on Billboardâs country, Hot 100, or Adult Contemporary charts. 29 of those songs hit the Top Ten, while nine reached No. 1 on at least one of those charts.
While he is known for his songs including âGentle On My Mind,â âWichita Lineman,” âRhinestone Cowboy,â and âGalveston,â Campbell was also known for his incredible guitar playing skills. He seemed to have passed this down to his youngest daughter, Ashley, who toured with him on his Goodbye Tour in 2012.
Campbell revealed he was diagnosed with Alzheimerâs Disease in 2011 and later embarked on the Goodbye Tour with a closing date of November 30, 2012. During one of their tour stops in Springfield, Missouri on July 27, 2012, the father-daughter duo took on one of the most iconic banjo/guitar songs in history, âDueling Banjos.â
Although he did play a couple wrong notes here and there at the beginning, that didnât stop him from smiling through the rest of it, which is played at a faster pace, therefore more difficult. At times, he and Ashley exchange smiles, and you canât help but grin while watching them perform together.
