The Wrecking Crew was a loose collective of “go to” Los Angeles based session musicians who played on literally thousands of studio recordings in the 1960s & early 1970s, including several hundred Top 40 hits by legendary artists as diverse as Jan & Dean, the Grass Roots, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher, Nancy Sinatra, the Partridge Family, David Cassidy, the Carpenters, John Denver, Nat King Cole, and of course, Glen Campbell. They worked with dozens of top producers including Lou Adler, Mike Post, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, who also co-wrote many of their most famous tracks, and used the Wrecking Crew's talents extensively in the mid-1960s on songs such as "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", "Good Vibrations," and several album projects including Pet Sounds (1966), and the original sessions for Smile.

Glen Campbell became a touring member of The Beach Boys from December 1964 to March 1965, filling in for Brian Wilson, playing bass, and singing falsetto harmonies. He played guitar on the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds, among other recordings. In 1968, Campbell released "Wichita Lineman", a song written by the great songwriter Jimmy Webb. It was recorded with backing from members of the Wrecking Crew and appeared on his 1968 album of the same name. It reached No. 3 on the U.S. pop charts and remained in the Top 100 for 15 weeks. The song also topped the American country music chart for 2 weeks and the adult contemporary chart for 6 weeks. In 1975, Glen Campbell released his thirtieth album, Rhinestone Cowboy, and the song by the same name became Campbell's largest-selling single (and one of his best-known recordings). "Rhinestone Cowboy" continues to be used in TV shows & films, including Desperate Housewives, Daddy Day Care, and High School High, and was the inspiration for the 1984 Dolly Parton/Sylvester Stallone movie Rhinestone. Campbell won numerous music awards including Grammys for “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” and “I’m Not Gonna Miss You”, nominations for “Wichita Lineman” and “Rhinestone Cowboy”, American Music Awards, and Country Music Awards. Glen’s musical career was second to none.

In June 2011, Glen Campbell announced the devastating news that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In 2014 Campbell was featured in the documentary I'LL BE ME which examined Alzheimer's and its effect on his musical performances during his final tour across the US with his wife & family. Campbell died on August 8, 2017 at age 81 in Nashville, TN. His legacy lives on through the incredible music he left us.
