Description

note: unfortunately there is Chryron printing across the top part of the screen.Into the performance once they go onto the solo shots,I scanned past the chryron printing.

Because Bobbie & Glen were both recording for Capitol Records, the company was ideal with the thought of Bobbie & Glen doing a duets album together.That album,'Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell' was released in 1968.This was one the the classic songs they performed.The TV performance comes from the premiere show 'The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour' on January 29th,1969.Another song from the album 'Let It Be Me' also was performed that night.
"Little Green Apples" is a song written by Bobby Russell that became a hit for three different artists, with their three separate releases, in 1968. Originally written for and released by American recording artist Roger Miller, "Little Green Apples" was also released as a single by American recording artists Patti Page and O. C. Smith that same year. Smith's version became a #2 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles charts, while Miller's version became a Top 40 hit on the Hot 100 as well as the UK Singles Chart (and a #6 hit on the Billboard Country chart). Page's version became her last Hot 100 entry. The song earned Russell a Grammy Award for Song of the Year and for Best Country Song. In 2013, "Little Green Apples" was covered by English recording artist Robbie Williams featuring American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, which became a top 40 hit in Mexico.
Lyrics
Well, I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes
And she says "Hi"
And I hurry to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school, "Goodbye"
And she reaches out and takes my hand
And squeezes it and says "How you feelin' Hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips that warms my heart
And I see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make the little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
There's no such thing as Dr. Suess
Disneyland and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make the little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about your face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call him up knowin' he's busy
And ask if he could get away and meet me
And maybe grab a bite to eat
And he drops what he's doin' and hurry's down to meet me
And I'm always late
He sits waitin' patiently and smiles when he first sees me
'Cause he's made that way
And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make the little green apples
And it don't snow in Indianapolis when the winter come
There's no such thing as make believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves, no B.B. gun
God didn't make the little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about your face aglow and ease my mind
