Rhinestone Cowboy

Sometimes it doesn't matter much what style a song is, When one of these songs hits it big, they call it a crossover.  This was the case in 1975 when Glen Campbell released "Rhinestone Cowboy".  The song went to #1 on both the Hot 100 and the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and made Glen Campbell a superstar.  Amazingly in 1975 six other songs went to #1 on both the country and rock charts.  But Rhinestone Cowboy was the biggest, and today mostly forgotten.
