NASHVILLE, TN – In response to the three GRAMMY nominations earned December 5 by the music from the new, critically-acclaimed documentary GLEN CAMPBELL...I’LL BE ME, Glen Campbell’s wife, Kim Campbell, has issued the following statement on behalf of the entire Campbell family:
"We
were ecstatic that the Recording Academy honored Glen with the Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2012 while he was still able to comprehend the
love and appreciation of his peers. And now for them to honor him again
with a nomination for a song he recorded while descending into the later
stages of Alzheimer’s, there just aren’t words enough to express how
blessed we feel. This song tells the truth of what it’s like to loose
your memory and yet be at peace with it. It would not have been possible
without Glen’s producer/co-writer Julian Raymond. Julian knew how to
reach the unreachable recesses of Glen’s mind and bring his soul into
this recording. Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Label Group embraced this
song and brought it to the ears of the world while James Keach and
Trevor Albert brought it to the eyes of the world in the documentary
Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. We are very proud of Glen and grateful for
God’s grace. We thank the Recording Academy for their love and for
bringing attention to the plight of those who live with Alzheimer’s by
recognizing this song.
