In 1968, one of his biggest years, he outsold the Beatles.

Let that sink in. It's only one year, but it's one year when the Beatles were still the biggest thing ever.

Sorry he is gone. Wife and I were talking about buying a greatest hits album for sentimental reasons.

Like the outselling the Beatles stat, but this one blew me away...

Quote:
He soon moved to Los Angeles and by 1962 had solidified a spot in the Wrecking Crew, a group of session pros. In 1963 alone, he appeared on 586 cuts and countless more throughout the decade, including the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man," Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas,” Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling."

The first song I ever claimed was my favorite was his "Sunflower." I was six, don't judge.

In 1967, in which the Beatles were still the biggest thing ever, were outsold by The Monkees.

RIP.

Watching the Glen Campbell special on HLN right now.

Good to see he was singing even close to the end and he had family & friends supporting him.
