After establishing himself as a reputable session guitarist for acts including the Monkees and Elvis Presley in the early 1960s, Glen Campbell came into his own as a country vocalist with a decided pop twist. Delivering pieces by ace songwriters like Jimmy Webb, Camp-bell's hit singles of the mid-1960s—most notably "Witchita Line-man" and "By the Time I Get To Phoenix"—fused the steel guitar sound of country with lilting string arrangements. By the early 1970s, Campbell had placed a number of singles in the upper tiers of both pop and country charts, and was even given the helm of his own popular variety show, The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour, but after "Southern Nights," his final number one hit, Campbell kept a relatively low profile.
