(Finished August 9th, 2017) The Best of Glen Campbell According To Billboard And Selected Videos

Hello,

Glen Campbell died yesterday after a brutal battle with Alzheimers, which he acknowledged his battle with in 2011. He released over 70 CDs and sold over 45 million CDs. Although he continued to tour and record until the very end of his life, his biggest success was in the 60s and 70s. Looking at the list below I'm not familiar with the #2, #3, and #7 to # 9 songs. I find that a bit odd as I've been listening to country music, off and on, for the last 40 + years. After a 6 + year battle with Alzheimers, and fighting family members, Campbell died yesterday in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 81. (Thanks to Wikipedia.org)
