RIP
He had a pretty diverse career in music and was a great guitarist. I'd say his guitar skills were right up there with someone like Chet Atkins. I read a few months back that he was nearing the end, so this isn't surprising. What a terrible disease.Comment

My folks saw him right after he was diagnosed with Alzheimers.
Doesn't feel like that long ago, but time seems to be picking up speed.Comment

My wife and I saw him when he was in Dallas at the Memorial Auditorium in 1969. I remember he sang every one of his famous songs and at the end, numerous curtain calls! The crowd was wild that night. He was one of the first popular singing acts I had ever seen live!

A solid part of the soundtrack of my youth. He was far more talented than many people realized, in playing, singing, writing, and arranging.
I lifted this from a Variety article about him...
"As a member of Los Angeles’ legendary Wrecking Crew collective of session musicians, he played on hundreds if not thousands of songs, including Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas,” the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer” and one of his favorites, Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night.” Campbell also was a touring member of the Beach Boys, replacing Brian Wilson for a few months during 1964 and 1965. He played on many of the group’s hit records as well, including “Be True to Your School,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Good Vibrations” and the “Pet Sounds” album."
Rest Easy, Sir...and thank you."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment
