However Rolling Stone ranks 250 greatest guitar players of all time and unfortunately, Glen was not listed. Jerry Reed ranked #198 & James Burton #24:

Sounds a little strange with a different name. But, Im not sure there was a choice. Otherwise, well, uh...it was the 60s. Good find...had no idea.

Of Glen's Where's Playground Susie, interesting that Bobbie Gentry did it, replacing with the name Johnny. And Lynn Anderson did the song with the name Bobby. Curious why the artists switched to different names and not keeping the same:

Rolling Stone just posted best 200 singers of all time. Can't believe Glen wasn't on that list. Tom Jones didn't make the cut either & Elvis ranked 17th. To see where you're favorite singer ranked (or didn't), here's the link:
