Find out what Glen Campbell played when asked to perform a few "solos" on guitar during a live TV broadcast in 1981! Fan Hendrik Sibma helpfully identified these pieces: "At the beginning of this clip Glen is playing a bit of Chet Atkins' 'Hybrid Corn'. Chet recorded this song in 1951 as a B-side, with 'Crazy Rhythm' on the A-side. 'Hybrid Corn' is based on Johannes Brahms' 'Hungarian Dance No. 5'. Next...
Glen fans will recognise the riff around 00:19 from 'Southern Nights'. Glen learned this riff from Jerry Reed, who used it on several songs (most prominently on the great instrumental 'Stump Water' which appeared on the 1970 collaboration album 'Me and Jerry' with Chet Atkins.")
Thanks again Hendrik!

![Glen Campbell ~ Plays Love is Blue on Guitar
A MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE ON YOUTUBE: Glen Campbell performs the instrumental version of Love is Blue on guitar. The song with lyrics describes the components of lost love with references to colors as emotions: blue, gray, red, green, and black. (Reminds me of Lorrie Morgans hit song Something in Red, 1991.) Music composed by André Popp. Lyrics (French) written by Pierre Cour in 1967. English-language lyrics written by Bryan Blackburn. The version you most likely remember is French orchestra leader Paul Mauriats, recorded in late 1967. Mauriats Love is Blue was also an instrumental production and, at least at that time, became the only number-one hit by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. ~continued~
Getting back to Glens cover, this track can only be found on a yet-to-be digitized album, The Artistry of Glen Campbell (Limited Collectors Edition, Double LP 1972). Heres to all the colors of love, yes, even blue. ~Dee, BringBackMyYesterday Channel on YouTube.
