Glen Campbell
Legendary Country Music Musician
1936-2017
Summer is almost here in the United States, which conjures up images of beach fun, barbecue and some good old-fashioned country music, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at Glen Campbell who passed away a seven years ago in 2017.
Legendary Country musician and former Beach Boy, Glenn Campbell passed away at age 81 in Nashville, Tennessee. Glenn had an amazing career that lasted more than a half century, and he wore a Rolex Day-Date to keep the time of his life. Glenn Campbell unfortunately developed Alzheimers toward the end of his life...
Glen Campbell is pictured below in 1969 wearing a watch that looks like Rolex Big Crown Submariner, but I have not been able to see enough detail to make a positive ID.
Glen Campbell is pictured below on the cover of his 1984 album titled, "Letter To Home".
On the album cover below for Glen Campbell's album titled Arkansas, which was released in 1975, we see him proudly sporting his Rolex Day-Date with a champagne dial.
Glenn Campbell's daughter, Ashley Campbell posted the photo below on her Facebook page just after her father passed away and said:
"Heartbroken. I owe him everything I am, and everything I ever will be. He will be remembered so well and with so much love." —Ashley Campbell
It appears in the photo above that Glenn Campbell's daughter, Ashley Campbell is wearing his yellow gold Rolex Day-Date. Below we see a video of Ashley Campbell and her father Glen Campbell in 2012 playing Dueling Banjos, with Glen on guitar.
