"Grammys 2015 Best Country Song Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Glen Campbell's Last Song vs. Miranda Lambert, Eric Church"
Written by: By Carolyn Menyes, Music Times

WHO SHOULD WIN: "I'm Not Gonna Miss You"
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You" has all of the components that make for a stunning song in general, not just a country tune. In the midst of his battle with Alzheimer's disease, "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" touches on what will be gone from Campbell's life at the end of the day, giving a crushing insight to this terrible disease. "You're the last person I will love / You're the last face I will recall / And best of all / I'm not gonna miss you," he sings in the chorus.
If that doesn't pack an emotional punch to the gut, I don't know what does.
WHO WILL WIN: "I'm Not Gonna Miss You"
Glen Campbell and Julian Raymond's "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" not only deserves to win the Grammy, it seems like the most likely to take home the award this Sunday.
Country music, at its roots, is a genre that likes to pay tribute to its elders, and there are few country legends alive that are bigger and better than Glen Campbell. Add in his heartbreaking battle with Alzheimer's, and even if "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" wasn't spectacular, it still seems like the song would be able to take home the Grammy on those factors alone. It is his last song, after all.
But, this song is a winner and the best the genre had to offer in 2015, so it has the aforementioned merits as well.
Though Campbell seems most likely to win the Grammy this year, that doesn't mean we should totally rule out the other nominees.....

I'm with you Dee,,
Not bragging on the content and meaning of "I'm not gonna miss you", I consider a slight.,
The song is more than worthy to take on all comers!!!!

Ten (not-so) burning questions before the Grammys
From Bucks County Courier Times
February 3, 2015
"Is there a more sentimental favorite than Glen Campbell?"
IMO, a shallow and uninformed answer, I thought. Glen's wins would have tremendous meaning, lasting meaning, than "great TV". --Dee
