Rolling Stone Country also posted the same video last year and with a more in-depth review of Glen and Johnny's performance on the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour:
One of the show's most electrifying moments was Campbell's duet with Cash on the Man in Black's enormously popular "Folsom Prison Blues." Strumming acoustic guitars and harmonizing beautifully on the classic railroad-prison tune, the two superstars are flanked by a casual-looking crowd, giving the whole thing a very laid-back vibe. But Campbell's lightning-quick guitar and Cash's cry of "soo-ey" inject their performance with spine-tingling energy. Campbell, who routinely reacted with high-pitched exclamations (as he does at the end of the above clip), even manages to also hit the song's low note at the end of the line, "and that's what tortures me."
Randy, your words "required viewing" had given me an for a new topic....I will set it up soon....don't let me forget.
(A topic for perhaps the 10 or more required viewings for Glen Campbell fans as well as those music listeners who wish to Meet Glen Campbell.)
I appreciate your thank you for both "the lyrics and the words," but really, it's the songwriter, Clive Gregson, who deserves kudos for allowing us to share the lyrics here with his kind permission, and I will touch base with him again to share our posts and gratitude and congratulations for the official video's win of a Remi. (I read up on those Remi Awards and they are a big deal across the entertainment industry!)
He was deeply touched by our interest and is a genuine Glen Campbell fan. Glen is blessed by those artists in the industry (and there are many!) who have always looked up to him and want to express their gratitude to Glen in the best way that they can...artistically, musically.

Back when I was on the fire dept. we use to get some video material that was "required viewing". The song "Glen Campbell" by the group Any Trouble should be required viewing for any GC fan. It's that good! And it's not just the second verse where he sings about Glen and Witchita Lineman but it's the whole song. Even though I almost have the song memorized , I really appreciate you sending me the lyrics Dee and of course "the words too"

The tribute song "Glen Campbell " by Any Trouble and directed by Nigel Dick won a platinum Remi Award at Houstonfest this year!
Thanks for putting up this clip, Randy. Not all fans may be aware that Glen appears on this Johnny Cash album.
Perhaps Glen's new manager at TKO will find other such album appearances (unreleased).

Yes I have it on the list of guest appearances on Glen's discography wikipedia page. But thanks nonetheless Randy, I appreciate it very much that you keep tracks of these things!

Hi, All!
Regarding the third party video that I had shared below from YouTube--"Malibu Sunset - The Boys unreleased recorded in 1963 with Glen Campbell on lead"--, arlw contacted me to share that Glen Campbell is not on this recording, it is not Glen singing the lead vocal.
