Talk about longevity in the music business! "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," his first big hit, came out in 1967 and he had a string pop hits, his most famous ones, like "Gentle on My Mind" and "Galveston." By the early '70s, after a couple of poor movies, he'd faded -- then came "Rhinestone Cowboy," and during the late '70s he was hot again, on country stations anyway ("Southern Nights" et al.).
I don't know about the '80s, but in the '90s he dabbled a little with Christian music and released at least one album. And now he's back again.
Comedians used to make fun of him on his TV series, where he'd cry, "Hi, Ah'm Glen Campbell!" But those people are long gone or forgotten, and Glen is still around. . . .
