Two in the back room
of my memory and was.
Glen Campbell sorted through his gold and
platinum albums and came up with an
evening of hits.
It's what the audience came to hear.
But would they like a new recording
of an old song?
If you.
I worked on the song, sang it for 10
years before I ever put it on record and
before I ever sang it in a show, because
it is something that it does say a lot
and it's an intricate song, but I enjoy
doing it. It was written in 1914 by God
knows who, and I think it just
spells it out pretty well.
But you never recorded it until now.
Until now. It's on the old hometown album
on Atlantic American.
And Santa Fe
getting
long before Rita Coolidge sang
professionally.
She studied Glen Campbell's records.
What is it about Glen Campbell singing
that impresses you so much?
I used to listen to Glenn because Glenn
used to be able to do a certain thing
with his voice.
You should be able to turn phrases and
phrase and make notes, do runs
with notes that I didn't know anybody
else who could do that, you know, except
maybe George Jones.
But Glenn was a pop singer
and I was totally fascinated
with his instrument, this instrument
and his guitar playing, of course.
But for me as a singer, it was his voice.
ABC is standing
by.
Granny's dinner playhouse is closed
tonight, but Glen Campbell of Rita
Coolidge will do two shows nightly
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
