Everyone who feels a bit country tries this song.

1. Great.

Way harder song than people think.

2. THAT was gorgeous!

I think it was Glen Campbell's best.

Great picking by Molly Tuttle.

3. John Hartford said he wrote the song after watching Dr. Zhivago

with his first wife.

..."In 1966, John Hartford lived with his wife and son in a trailer on the east side of Nashville, Tennessee. One night, the couple saw the film Doctor Zhivago at the local theater. Inspired by the love story depicted in the movie between Yuri Zhivago and Lara Antipova, Hartford returned home and within 20–30 minutes he composed "Gentle on My Mind". [1] Betty Hartford, who later divorced her husband, remarked him the similarity between the woman in the song and herself. She questioned Hartford about the negative feelings of the man towards his marriage. Hartford replied that he considered her to be as Lara, while he attributed the feelings of the man trapped in a relationship to his "artistic license".[2][3]"...(more)
