Rob can you add "In film he appeared in True Grit, Norwood, The Cool Ones, Uphill All the Way and Any Which Way You Can." From what I can recall Frank Col he looked between 3 and 4 inches shorter than the Duke, looks accurate. He could have done more films, he had a face and look perfectly suited for westerns. Wichita Lineman has to be up there with the greatest songs of all time. I do a good cover, both guitar and piano!

He was definitely 6'0" at his peak. Look at photos of him next to Elvis who was 6'0" (5'11 3/4 I know, but there is 0 difference)
Glen, In his older age, was probably about 5'11" 1/2.

How awful - I didn’t know Glen had passed on. I recall his 70s songs Rhinestone Cowboy and Galveston and will play them shortly in his memory. 🥲
6ft. 🕯

He didn't look 6ft in True Grit next to an ageing John Wayne. In his high heeled cowboy boots he only looked 5ft 10ish in scenes on relatively flat surfaces. I certainly wouldn't put him over 5ft 11 peak.

Glen was 5'10", the same height as Elvis Presley.

I remember 'Rhinestone Cowboy' very well indeed! 🎼🎧
I never knew Glen was 6ft.
RIP Glen xxx

I'd say this says more about Elvis and less about Campbell.
To me, its obvious Campbell was no more than 5'11, yet he looks an inch taller than Elvis.

He could have been 5'10" as others suggest here but that's not the impression watching in long shots on TV shows, he looked taller like 6' ish

The average guess seems a little low to me, although I do think it's likely he was a bit shy of 6ft. Also Rob, could you add the country music singers tag?

A least 5'11 very well built

He might have looked six foot with cowboys boots, but his real height was 5'10".

Glen Campbell may or may not have been a genuine 6 footer but he could really sing.
James said on 25/Jan/17
His peak height was 5'11".

Six foot was likely an exaggeration.
Tom said on 28/Mar/16
I agree with Mr. R. I saw Campbell in person around twenty years ago and in cowboy boots he didn't look over six feet. More like 5-10 or at most 5-10.5.
Brad said on 5/Feb/16
Looked it with The Duke on location both in cowboy boots.
Mr. R said on 5/Feb/16
I met Glenn a few years ago. At his tallest, he was 5-10.

Always thought he was tall seeing him in shows in the 60's and 70's, poor bloke in the late stages of Dementia
