The ACM Honors event served as a testament to his enduring legacy and the profound impact he has had on the country music community."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There is only one song that comes to mind when thinking of paying tribute to the legendary\u00a0Glen Campbell: \u201cRhinestone Cowboy.\u201d It\u00a0quickly became his signature\u00a0song, gave him his nickname, and won him the ACM award for Single of the Year, numerous\u00a0American Music Awards, and a few Grammy nominations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8kAU3B9Pi_U\" data-id=\"8kAU3B9Pi_U\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\">\n<p>Since his solo debut in the 1960s, Campbell has been nominated for ten ACM awards, winning nine between the years 1967-1998. He is considered a country legend because of his 50+ years in show business, more than 70 albums, 45 million records sold, and thanks to his role in\u00a0<em>True Grit<\/em>, he is also award-winning actor.<\/p>\n<p>Because of his decorated career, the Academy of Country Music awarded him with the Career Achievement Award at the 2016 ACM Honors. Paying\u00a0tribute to a legend like Campbell takes a lot of gusto, which is why the ACM needed not one, not two, but four country greats to perform \u201cRhinestone Cowboy.\u201d\u00a0Blake Shelton,\u00a0Toby Keith,\u00a0Dierks Bentley, and\u00a0Keith Urban\u00a0joined forces for a memorable rendition of Campbell\u2019s signature song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>Their performance will have you tapping your toes and singing along.
