Glen Campbell: Sings For The King (CD)

(Capitol US) 18 tracks (41:58) featuring a duet with Elvis Presley

The CD features 18 recently unearthed and unreleased tracks from the recordings that Campbell made between 1964 and 1968 for Elvis Presley. The pair's friendship stretched across three decades, from their first meeting during Elvis' rise to fame to the days when both were adored worldwide.

Initially intended for Elvis' ears only, these recordings were fully fleshed out studio versions of songs written by the team of Ben Weisman and Sid Wayne; Weisman is noted as the composer with more songs recorded by Elvis Presley than any other, with a total of 57. They also included notable sides such as 'Got A Lot Of Livin' To Do' and 'Rock-A-Hula Baby'.

Glen Campbell was asked to bring his perfect pitch and ability to match Presley's vocal pitch and style, so that the songs could be presented to 'The King' for his recording consideration. Glen also brings his unrivalled guitar virtuosity to the material.

Twelve of the 18 tracks on the album were indeed subsequently recorded by Elvis, including the title songs from his movie vehicles such as 'Spinout', 'Clambake' and 'Easy Come, Easy Go'.

"Glen Campbell"

Glen Campbell

Amerikanischer Sänger, der durch Filmmusiken berühmt wurde. Geboren am 22.4.1939 in Delight (Arkansas) als siebter Sohn einer Farmerfamilie. Schon in seinem Elternhaus wurde ständig musiziert. Das erste Geld verdiente sich Glen Campbell als Baumwollpflücker.

1962 ging Glen Campbell nach Hollywood und suchte sich einen Job als Studiomusiker, wo er Frank Sinatra oder Dean Martin begleitete. 1967 hatte er mit „By the Time I get to Phoenix' und „Gentle on my mind' seine ersten großen Erfolge. Für diese Welthits im Country-Sound bekam er auch die höchste Auszeichnung des amerikanischen Musikgeschäfts, den Grammy. Durch die Musik zu den Filmen „True Grit' und „Norwood' untermauerte er seinen Ruf als einer der besten jungen Komponisten und Musiker Amerikas. „Galveston', „Wichita Lineman' und „Where's the Playground Susie' waren die Songs, die ihn 1969 auch in Deutschland bekannt machten. Dann zog er sich in seine Villa im Laurel Canyon zurück und es wurde stiller um ihn. 1975 gelang ihm jedoch mit „Rhinestone Cowboy' ein mehr als glänzendes Comeback.
