“Gentle on My Mind” is a song written by John Hartford, which won two 1968 Grammy Awards. Hartford himself won the award for Best Folk Performance. The other award, Best Country & Western Solo Vocal Performance, Male, went to Glen Campbell for his version of Hartford’s song. Glen Campbell’s version has received over 5 million plays on the radio. Hartford reported that he was inspired to write the song after seeing the film Doctor Zhivago when his own memories took over, and that it took about fifteen minutes to write down. Campbell used “Gentle on My Mind” as the theme to his television variety show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour (January 1969 — June 1972). Read on...
