The musical genius and talent of Glen Campbell is unparalleled. As one who grew up watching his rise to stardom, I was humbled by this biography written by the late Glen Campbell's wife of thirty plus years, Kim Campbell. Glen Campbell's story is one of triumph and tragedy. He rose from abject poverty in a hard scrabble upbringing in rural Arkansas to an be internationally loved superstar. He played the seedy bars and nightclubs, was a studio musician to some of the greatest, earned his place with unforgettable number one records, opened the door to stardom to little know country musicians, made several movies, and recorded unforgettable songs like: "Galveston", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", Rhinestone Cowboy", and "Gentle On My Mind". Glen Campbell also ran a marathon race thru three marriages, five children, and drug and alcohol addiction. Luckily his marriage to Kim, his fourth wife and this book's author, was one that lasted until his death and produced children that inherited some of his musical talent. Thru hard work and the love and support of his family Glen Campbell overcame addiction and spent many years sharing his talent with the world. If you are a fan of Glen Campbell read this book. It will make you laugh and make you cry much like his music did.
