In October 1968, his fifth chart-topper would also become Gentry’s second, as Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell became the first-ever country album by a duo to top the Billboard chart. Campbell, in fact, had held four of the top five positions on the chart a week earlier, setting yet another astonishing record. Let It Be Me was an intimately romantic tune popularized in the mid-Fifties in France as Je t’appartiens. To date, dozens of artists have recorded the song, and it’s also had additional life as a popular wedding tune.

Unlike Gentry, Glen Campbell could do no wrong. Like Gentry, however, Campbell had come from rural poverty; he had left home as a teen to join his uncle’s band, eventually pitching up in LA to work as a highly versatile session guitarist. He had also toured with The Beach Boys in the mid-60s, subbing for Brian Wilson. Little Green Apples’, ‘Let It Be Me’, ‘Heart To Heart Talk’: all are easy-listening silk, light on the ear and good for the mood. However, the finest cover on the album is the sunshine-pop classic ‘Sunday Mornin’’, originally written by Margo Guryan and made famous by Spanky And Our Gang. On one level, it’s a gently optimistic hum.
