Tompall, Chuck and Jim "The Glaser Brothers" were the best! Another great singer, songwriter, gone on. The brothers harmony was just the best in the Country Music business.

GOD be with family and friends

Very sad news, I had the great privilege to play with Tompall, Jim and Chuck on a TV show in NZ back in the mid 80's, just amazing harmonies.
Is Chuck still with us ? I remember him having a stroke back then.

sorry to hear.
this would be a great opportunity to rekindle the outlaw spirited free self-expression and to turn things back around to reality in honor of tompall. shut the bubble gum light show extravaganzas down. remember the lesson from the 'pure country' movie that everyone has forgotten.

I never met Tompall, but, he must have been as kind as his little brother Jim who assisted us on some recordings in Okinawa in 1962.
