    First crossover artist / Kansas town + electrical worker = [artist/song]

    More clues.

    He was a country artist and regarded as a top guitar player. He died in 2017 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

    The Kansas town starts with a "W". The song was written by Jimmy Webb.

    This is a little cryptic. If no one tumbles what it is, I can give some clues.

    You are both correct, so far. Life, in this case.

    3-way mash-up     (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs.
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    1. Exposė
    2. Phil Collins
    3. the BeeGees

    Poke poke....

    Clues needed?

    These might be about the biggest songs each of the artists had. Pop songs anyway. Not sure how big some of Glen Campbell's country hits were. His was a big hit on both country and pop charts.
