The Glen Campbell Story

on BBC Radio 2

3/4. REM bassist Mike Mills continues a profile of singer Glen Campbell , who paid his dues as a session guitarist for the likes of Phil Spector and the Beach Boys before forging a career as a rather unhip, Grammy-winning purveyor of country-inspired easy-listening hits that now rank as pop classics. This instalment recalls Campbell's signature solo work, from his 1967 breakthrough single Gentle on My Mind (widely known despite peaking at 26 in the US pop charts) to his monumental collaborations with songwriter Jimmy Webb - By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston and, in particular,
Wichita Lineman. With input from songwriters Jimmy Webb and Jimmy Bowen , producer/arranger Al DeLory , bassist Carol Kaye , journalist Keith Cameron and Glen Campbell.
