Legendary singer, songwriter and guitarist Glen Campbell passed away on this day in 2017 ( August 8 )

Campbell began his professional career as a studio musician in Los Angeles, spending several years playing with the talented group of musicians later known as "The Wrecking Crew".

He released 64 albums in a career that spanned five decades, selling over 45 million records worldwide.

Campbell released a total of 80 different songs on either the Billboard Country Chart, Billboard Hot 100, or Adult Contemporary Chart, of which 29 made the top 10 and of which nine reached #1 on at least one of those charts.

Many became ageless classics such as “By the Time I Get to Phoenix" (1967), "Wichita Lineman" (1968), "Galveston" (1969), "Rhinestone Cowboy" (1975), and "Southern Nights" (1977).

In 1967 Campbell won four Grammys in the country and pop categories.
Three of his early hits later won Grammy Hall of Fame Awards (2000, 2004, 2008), while Campbell himself won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012.

After announcing in 2011 that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Campbell became a patient at a long-term care and treatment facility in 2014, and passed away three years later, aged 81.

On this day in 1976, the Fox single “S-S-S-Single Bed” went to #1 on the Australian charts (August 9)

Speaking in 1976, the UK-based band’s Australian singer Noosha Fox said she considered the song musically the best thing the band had done, describing it as understated.

Written and produced by Fox’s founder Kenny Young, the funky track with the suggestive lyrics sung by Fox, with her unique vocal delivery, was most successful in Australia, where it went to #1 for four weeks in August 1976, knocking Sherbet’s “Howzat!” off the top spot.

The song from the band’s third album “Blue Hotel” also peaked at #4 in Ireland, #10 in the Netherlands, and #12 in Belgium.
