Looking for a particular cover of Rhinestone Cowboy

August 3, 2013 7:24 AM

I few months ago my kids were enjoying watching Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy on You Tube. The You Tube algorithm at the time then led us to other covers of Rhinestone Cowboy but sometime around April the algorithm changed and now I can't find one particular cover I really loved. Of course I never marked it as a favourite...

The artist wasn't a big name and I think all of the videos were just pictures his album covers. They struck me as albums that were probably made at home or in a very simple studio. The guy has a lovely voice with an effortless cowboy-style warble. He had an ordinary name, not an improbably stage name...and that's all I got!

Its like You Tube has banished this poor guy.

Can you check your watch history? There should be a link at the left under your name if you're logged in. It goes back forever.

Response by poster: @CheeseLouise - that's a great idea but I don't think I was logged in. I had set up an account specifically for my kids for this kind of thing but somehow didn't remember to log in on my phone!

Best answer: Jim Whitman?
Or Slim Whitman?
George Canyon maybe.
