[Dee]

Keep posting your own tributes, fans!
Welcome to all of our new posters!
This topic is now three pages long-- but could be 30! Tonight, I posted a few birthday wishes I received / discovered on the net and various social media platforms; there are so many more greetings that could be posted!
The outpouring of love and admiration for Glen Campbell on his 80th birthday is very, very heartwarming. Glen has made a real difference in so many people's lives.

I just had to join your group today, so that I could post a birthday wish to Glen. I hope you had a big party, Glen! As others have commented, this is a real milestone. So many years of bringing music and joy to your fans, which you are still doing! Your music will be with us forever, and for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Happy Birthday!

Nearly two dozen legends of country, including Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens, Chet Atkins, Kris Kristofferson, Lynn Anderson, Porter Wagoner, Crystal Gayle and more gathered to sing classic songs and swap stories. During the taping, (Glen) Campbell performed a once-in-a-lifetime take on "Crying."
