As music fans remember the brilliance of Glen Campbell following his death at the age of 81, we look back at some of his classic duets. Along with his solo hits, the American music legend also brought the magic out in his fellow performers. And then some.
Let It Be Me with Bobbie Gentry
Campbell's 1968 duets album with the Ode to Billie Joe singer is so good front to back that, really, every song deserves inclusion here. But we've gone for this tearjerker performance of Let It Be Me from Campbell's own TV show, The Goodtime Hour, in 1969. Something in your eye? Us too.
Blowin' in the Wind with Stevie Wonder
Another gem from The Goodtime Hour in 1969 - and another team-up that should have been an album. Genres walk hand in hand as the masters of their respective crafts make a plea for peace on national television. Goosebumps start to finish.
Medley with Val Doonican
There had to be an Irish link. Feelgood Saturday night telly at its chummiest as Campbell braves the 1981 British winter to join the Déise's native son for a run-through of some of Campbell's biggest hits - By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, Gentle on My Mind and Southern Nights. Also on show is Campbell's gift for a one-liner. "It was so cold in Preston and Halifax," he tells Doonican, "that I actually saw a chicken with a cape on."
I Say a Little Prayer/By the Time I Get to Phoenix with Anne Murray
Six years earlier, the BBC paired Campbell with Snowbird singer Murray for a rendition of this medley from their 1971 album. It proved to be as good in the TV studio as it was on record. Murray took on the Burt Bacharach and Hal David torch song, while Campbell sings Jimmy Webb's goodbye anthem. A mash-up before mash-ups, the songs - and singers - dovetail beautifully.
Wichita Lineman with Keith Urban
The great was the special guest when Urban's Escape Together World Tour stopped off in Las Vegas in July 2009. A lesson in chemistry followed as the pair played off each other with Urban proving his class by allowing Campbell to steal the show. What could've happened if their paths had crossed in the studio a decade before?
Duelling Banjos with Ashley Campbell
The best, and saddest, 'til last. On Campbell's farewell tour in 2012 he rolled back the years and banished the darkness of Alzheimer's onstage every night. In July of that year, with daughter Ashley on banjo, he treated the audience at the Ozark Empire Fair in Springfield, Missouri to a life-affirming gallop through the iconic Deliverance track.
