Next week’s #1 country hit also made the rock Top 5 for Glen Campbell. Its writer, Jimmy Webb, said this wasn’t necessarily about Vietnam but it fit the era and was definitely anti-war. Don Ho (!) recorded the tune first, but gave it to Campbell after appearing on his TV show. Glen borrowed Wrecking Crew member Carol Kaye’s six-string Danelectro bass to play the guitar solo, as he did on “Wichita Lineman.”
