Winner of ten Grammy Awards, ten Academy of Country Music awards, and a host of other music honours, Glen Campbell is a music industry legend.

Entirely self-taught, his fascination with music continued, and in his teenage years he worked a number of different unskilled casual jobs while playing as often as he could.
