Glen Travis Campbell was a songwriter from the United States, as well as a singer, guitarist, and television host. In the 1960s and 1970s, he was popularly known for a number of hit songs. Rhinestone Cowboy was arguably the biggest hit of Glen Campbell's. This original music video helps you to see him performing first hand, offering mass-appealing country music charm.

He was born at Billstown, Arkansas. As a studio musician. However, he started his career as a professional in Los Angeles. Campbell began his great journey as a musician at an early age of only four years. At the age of six, he would even perform at the local radio station.

When he relocated to Los Angeles, Campbell was employed as a session musician at a company that published American music. Due to his excellent work with the recordings and demos, Campbell was on high demand by music groups and recording studios. He later joined the singing group that goes by the name 'Wrecking crew" where they did a lot of songs together.

Campbell began his professional career as a studio musician in Los Angeles. Among his hits are Universal Soldier and By the Time I Get to Phoenix. These are among the songs that made him an icon in the '60s. Campbell sold over 45 million records globally.

Campbell did some recording with the most famous musicians of the time. These musicians may include Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Beach Boys, Shelley Fabares, Merle Haggard, Jan, and Phil Spector and The Casca. Even after featuring the best artists, Campbell's success would not come any sooner.

Turn Around and Look At Me is the first solo he released and that barely brought him any success. He even went ahead to form a band with his former crew members and recorded songs. However, their success was to no avail. He would often appear on a TV show as a regular en route to make a name for himself. After a string of unsuccessful single records could not hit big for Capitol Records, they even considered dropping him and removing him from the label.

Rhinestone Cowboy was the largest-selling single from Campbell, and one of his best-known songs. It is the song that changed everything for Campbell's music career. While on a tour of Australia in 1974, Campbell had heard the version of the songwriter Larry Weiss.

The primary phrase of his recording was included in the Jaws parody song Mr. Jaws by Dickie Goodman. Southern Nights, created with the help of Jerry Reed and Jimmy Webb by Allen Toussaint, his other hit number one. Campbell was the Los Angeles Open's celebrity host from 1971 until 1983.
