I 4/4. REM bassist Mike Mills concludes a profile of singer, songwriter and guitarist
Glen Campbell , whose country-pop classics of the 1960s arguably remain the genre's definitive recordings. This final edition recalls the 1975 monster number-one hit
Rhinestone Cowboy - Campbell's first genuine pop hit since 1971 and a song whose lyrics struck a chord with a singer whose personal life had hit an all-time low. The single paved the way for further successes - including the 1977 US chart-topper Southern Nights - though unfavourable comparisons with the golden era of Wichita
Lineman and By the Time / Get to Phoenix were inevitable.
Featuring input from Jimmy Webb and journalist Keith Cameron. See Queens of Country on Monday BBC1
