    I wish younger people would seek out some of his stuff and give it a chance... I think most younger people are like "meh, whatever, whoever". Most have no idea what an influence this guy was on country and pop.

    Some of his biggest, in no particular order:

    Rhinestone Cowboy
    Southern Nights
    Wichita Lineman
    Galveston
    Gentle On My Mind
    By The Time I Get To Phoenix
    Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)
    Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife

    Dude also played guitar on some of the absolute biggest hits of the 60's. He also subbed for Brian Wilson during a Beach Boys tour, the whole tour.

    If you haven't seen it, "I'll Be Me" on Netflix is very much worth watching. It was made just a couple years ago and he wanted the world to see what this disease does to people, didn't want to hide from it. He can't remember his wife or kids, but when he gets on stage he (usually) plays and sings like he was 25 again. Amazing to see.

    Some movies like that are too emotional for her. Especially after her dad died a couple years ago now.

    Nice. You're welcome. Anybody even half-interested in GC or this disease should see it.
