There have been a lot of 50th anniversary celebrations for famous records lately. 50 years since The White Album. 50 years since Astral Weeks. 50 years since Electric Ladyland and The Village Green Preservation Society. These momentous anniversaries will only become more commonplace - and harder to believe / accept - as we creep towards the 2020s... but I couldn't let this one pass without comment.
50 years ago today - 4 years before I was born - the song below was at the top of the American country charts. I've written about it many times before because it is my all-time favourite piece of music. Everything about it is perfect, from Jimmy Webb's achingly romantic and yet strangely ambiguous lyrics to Glen Campbell's peerless vocal performance to the breathtaking instrumentation provided by the Wrecking Crew.
Happy New Year. We could all do with a good one...
Yep, a top tune and no mistake.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice to kick off 2019. Happy New Year to you and yours, Rol.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Rol! You've posted my absolute favourite Glen Campbell tune.
ReplyDeleteBlimey - talk about setting the bar high! What a song to start 2019 with.
ReplyDeleteIt's all downhill from here!
DeleteThe song is perfection, as you say. A great start to the year.
ReplyDeleteYes, a great start to the year - They certainly knew how to make records 50 years ago. I for one however am starting the new year with a positive attitude - Last year was a bit of a difficult one for me, but despite all the extraneous nonsense going on around us, I'm going to grab 2019 by the proverbials and run with it. Onward and upward.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Rol.
