About this listen
This audiobook edition features eleven songs, including Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable”, Ashley Campbell’s “Remembering”, and Glen Campbell’s "Gentle on My Mind”.
The pause-resisting, never-before-told story of Kim Campbell's rollercoaster 34-year marriage to music legend Glen Campbell, including how Kim helped Glen finally conquer his addictions only to face their greatest challenge when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Kim Campbell was a fresh-faced 22-year-old dancer at Radio City Music Hall when a friend introduced her to Glen Campbell, the chart-topping, Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated entertainer. The two performers from small Southern towns quickly fell in love, a bond that produced a 34-year marriage and three children.
In Gentle on My Mind, Kim tells the complete, no-holds-barred story of their relationship, recounting the highest of highs - award shows, acclaimed performances, the birth of their children, encounters with Mick Fleetwood, Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Alice Cooper, Jane Seymour, and others - and the lowest of lows, including battles with alcohol and drug addiction and, finally, Glen’s diagnosis, decline, and death from Alzeheimer's.
With extraordinary candor, astonishing bravery, and a lively sense of humor, Kim Campbell reveals the whole truth of life with an entertainment giant and of caring for and loving him amid the extraordinary challenge of Alzheimer's disease. This is a remarkable account of enduring love, quiet strength, and never-faltering faith.
Experience the moments in Glen and Kim's story with photos available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Jimmy Webb's words have been sung to his music by a rich and deep roster of pop artists, including Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Donna Summer, and Linda Ronstadt. He's the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration, and his chart-topping career has, so far, lasted 50 years, most recently with a Kanye West rap hit and a new classical nocturne. Now Webb delivers a snapshot of his life from 1955 to 1970, from the proverbial humble beginnings into a moneyed and manic international world of beautiful women, drugs, cars, and planes.

Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, 14 times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood.

"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned"...So say the publishers about this audiobook I've written. What I say is that this is the story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm that I lived it. It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville to Hawaii, and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song after song, hoping to strike gold.

Faith, Alcoholism and Alzheimer's
This was a good book. I'm glad it wasn't padded out with unnecessary information about Glen Campbell's life but it does include biographies. How to deal with someone with tendencies towards alcoholism, using Faith as a Force for good in one's life during the struggles and Alzheimer's at the varying stages.

Rest In Peace Glen
A great book for me personally, as Glens songs always take me back to a time where all in my life was only good.
The author was a little rough on Tanya Tucker though, as there were not to many men that would not be attracted to her back in the day, or today for that matter. The last part of the book was much easier to digest, as his wife and family were present to shower this imperfect man with love, and no doubt, God had him sing a couple of tunes for Him.

Spiritually, emotionally & eloquently inspiring
As a singer & musician since I was 17 in Spain, hired by an established variety & Top 40 band, all at least 10 years my senior. Still under the ruling of the Dictator Franco, even with a Spanish guy in the band. We were limited to the 3 clubs on base & with our variety, for base celebrations. Still it was the band I was most proud to be a part of. I'd made a vow before age 13, that my wife & children would always be #1in my life. Once I felt I'd done all I could to raise my boys into the great young men they became, I started out to start my music career over. Got as far as opening with a Classic rock, variety band, for the Gatlin brothers, who came out early to compliment the band & my voice. Though I had to be told. since I was lugging my 400 watt stereo amp across the infield grass of the baseball stadium we played ar. Within less than a year I was fighting for my life, against stage 3 Melanoma & 6 self administered Interferon injections a week for a year. Due to several prior health issues, I beat the cancer, but ended up disabled. But not s word about me, I was alive to see my sons graduate & become extremely successful young men. I lost my oldest at 36, & watched in horror as my now ex-wife fell into alcoholism & after 5 years of hell, she chose divorce. Never would've even been thought about by me. The vows I gave to God & my wife, were in sickness & health. But I was powerless once she set her mind. Kim's story brought tears to my eyes, as I dealt with an alcoholic father & wife. She's an eloquent story teller & you can hear the love & devotion she has & had. Glen was a lucky man in so many ways. He also went through hell, many times over. Probably the source of his emotional singing. You always felt Glen's soul in his voice & saw the genuine great man he was sober. I know all to well how alcohol can make your soul mate or father a complete stranger & able to break your heart, spirit & mind
Kim's love & faith helped Glen come from the darkness. into the greatest years of his life. Sadly cut short by a horrific disease. That I presume were harder for Kim. I feel her pain, in far too many ways I've experienced, but there's no way I could've told the story as eloquently as Kim. Worth every dime & second of your time.
