Best Ever Tribute, Randy!
I can't help but think about the scene in I'll Be Me in which Glen shared, with tears in his eyes, with James Keach why he wanted to do the documentary.
His intention (and his family's) has been exceeded a million times over and still continues to change lives.
Thanks so much for posting the inspirational Choir! video, Randy.

BTW, the Rhinestone Cowboy performance by Choir! that Randy posted below has already caught Jeff Dayton's attention. A tribute like this one means a lot to Glen's friends, too.
Choir!'s performance represents The Legacy of Glen Campbell, our beloved Rhinestone Cowboy.

I hope Kim and family see this one. How Glen, Kim and family inspired tributes like this!

The description reads:

Last week, we lost Glen Campbell, a superstar talent who's enormous contribution to pop culture will be celebrated forever. If you saw I'LL BE ME, a documentary that followed Campbell on this final tour in 2011, you know that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and suffered great memory loss. But the power of music helped him connect to himself, his family, friends and fans until the end.

With this in mind, this week's Choir! was a fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of Toronto's Music Project, in which people suffering from dementia are given FREE ipods filled with music that helps them reconnect and improve their quality of life.

Ever Gentle on My Mind
BY ANNE MARGARET DANIEL

AUGUST 7, 2017

Glen Campbell's voice was gentle...but his playing was full of crystal control and rolling soul. He didn't bash his guitar or showboat; he just knew everything about it and how to make it sound out....

This is a tremendous article with videos written by not just a music critic but also a long-time Glen Campbell fan.

Why has there been such a tremendous outpouring of love and loss for Glen since he passed away?
(We fans know why, but this discussion well sums up the legacy of Glen Campbell.)
