[puffbunnyrecordsinc]

Did you know that Susan Taylor of the Pozos has 4 cds out as Taylor Pie?? We're pleased to say that our label is Pie's biggest fan and supporter! Check her videos @ puffbunnyrecordsinc

#47 pop in 1966.when i heard one of their songs on the radio back in the late 1980s on one of those oldies show i was surprised to hear that country singer don williams was a member of this group.he did great with them and on his own.overlooked classic tune.

[Kitandroxandbec]

One of the most beautiful songs of the 60's Loved it then and still do!!!

[mlr48]

There comes a TIME' in everyone's life when we say, 'Time, where did it go?' -  We know we can't go back and we miss those 'good old days' - no matter how bad they were. TIME gives us a selective memory. :0)

[elmerhdga]

I was in the US Navy, headed for VietNam on an aircraft carrier, in 1966, and this Pozo Seco song almost knocked me off the flight deck, with it's......... can't talk right now.

[slkaiser69]

I remember this song in my freshman at college. My older brother had the album and I was blown away. I have never forgotten this group0 and am now re-discovering it.

[roserains]

'Loved this song since I first heard it om

[1947carlton]

One of the songs I can hear over & over......What a simpler time that was, or at least TIME has given it that perspective.

[BeatleJim55]

1966...

[saggiest]

Nowikidy, (3rd try) Sorryto hear about your setbacks, but to hear that you are on the mend. I,too am 64 and that time has slipped by so quickly. The music of the 60's still soothes me. Hope you keep well and fit. Kind regards.

[saggiest]

Nowikidy-Sorry to hear about your setback

[saggiest]

Nowikidy-Sorry to hear about your setbacks and glad to hear that you are still

[50Emerald]

This is a beautiful, folk-style song that has long been underrated -- wish we could have a resurgence of this type of classy, moving music...

[longhornsrock1969]

If I could do over again I would keep in touch with good friends I left behind

[KarenD53]

Time oh Time~~~where did you go?

[thefotoguy2009]

This has to be one of the most beautiful versions of this song I have ever heard. Ilove the Pozo Seco Singers.

[greengreyeyes28]

Heard this today for the first time in over 30 years, remember singing it as a child with my best friend, with whom I lost touch. Makes me sad, and happy.

[mudbusrider]

There was a place I went drinking and dancing where the band played this as the last song of the night. There was a wonderful young woman, she and I were in love. But our love could never be fulfilled. We always danced to this song together holding each other as close and tight as we could and sang it softly to each other. I haven't seen or talked to her in 34 years, but when I hear this song I am still warmed by the memories of our love. (Yes Franie, I still love you from so long ago)

[JSG1951]

A beautiful song beautifully and sung! Such a peaceful song to listen to.

[wolfeshadow1313]

I stumbled on this, haven't heard it in a long time. One of the local radio staions plays this type of music all of the time. That's where I heard it last. Thanks for posting.

[froxtionABLE]

I remember the haunting refrain echoing from my transistor radio.  I love this song so much I could just shit.

[takemeback2]

Love this tune. Such a shame it has been replaced with mostly crap on the airwaves.

[artimesj]

This song came at the 'tail end' of the FOLK ERA in the 60's. Lead male singer,Don Williams went on to become a minor legend in Country Music !

[idgit2442]

@artimesj ----Don is more than a minor legend. He's now in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Susan Taylor has continued to write & sing, in the folk music genre. She now performs as Taylor Pie. You can watch & listen to her on youtube. Worth a visit. She's now old & gray, but STILL has it. I grew up in Corpus Christi Texas, where they got their start. Saw them many times at Del Mar College. Fantastic group, & still great after parting ways.

[scuzzydirtbag]

@idgit2442 Lofton Kline is the other member of the original Pozo Seco Singers in "Time". He's a relative, a nice guy, and a great performer still.

[funfunfuntheautobahn]

Where did all my time go?

[Albacorewing]

Do songs get any better? Methinks not.

[ironrick46]

hell of a place to hear such a beautiful song trey thanks for nyour service. i was there in 69

[RG4242421]

When Don Williams lived in Portland Texas,I lived down the street my mom played the single till it wore out I still love it!

[longhornsrock1969]

I taped this song on a Panosonic mini-recorder when I went off into the service in 1966. Where did that darn recorder go?

[chris11978]

I was only 17 when this song was popular. I was just out of high school and had fled my small midwest town to go to San Francisco to wear flowers in my hair. It touched my heart then and it still does 55 years later when tonight I found it on YouTube.  Where has all that time gone between 17 and 62?

[JohnnyWight]

Thank you for this. Beautiful...

[longhornsrock1969]

Very haunting. Makes you think back to a much different era. Try listening to Ruby Tuesday by Melanie-same thing.

[Anima3333]

Thanks for posting this! The writer of this song, Michael Merchant, recently put up a YT channel. He has written dozens and dozens of songs just as beautiful as this. Like the Deer was just uploaded. watch?v=1en0BpSS3ew

[guadelupe]

I didn't think anyone remembered this. My brother and I had it when it was new and played it often. Thanks for the memories!

[Albacorewing]

It is really sad that such talent is no longer evident in the music scene.

[Albacorewing]

Taylor Pie, the voice of this song, was a very attractive woman.

[OldieJammer]

@Albacorewing

Indeed Taylor Pie "was" a very attractive woman. Look her up on Youtube...

Taylor Pie with The Cumberland Trio to see her now,,,,,, but she still sings good.

[MIKECNW]

We Know that Don Williams became a sucessful country singer but what about the other 2?

[andychen19811]

So much childhood memories comes back when hearing this song. Time just dissapeared and never had I got satisfied.

[3753mail]

A 1966 musical gem that is never played...thanks for posting..wish someone had a video of this..

[BRIKEN1966]

what a beautiful little  song

[Trey2469]

great song have not heard since viet nam 1969 thank you

[Kirkwhisper]

My goodness, I had forgotten this song even existed. Amazing how things like this bring back the memories of an age gone by.

[shocktower70]

@Trey2469 Aye Mate

[bricarr1]

I remember this song from 1966, I was a freshman in college then. This song will always be one of my favorites.

[OldieJammer]

Pozo Seco means 'dry hole" in Spanish.  Them being from Corpus Christi, Texas, they probably got the name from the many dry holes drilled around C.C.

[steve7138]

I remember this GREAT song--1966,

1st grade, played over/over again on Demand Radio 79—KTHT (AM), Houston--later learned the 2nd most listened to station for Houston/south Texas at the time. Knowing theyre from Corpus, that constant airplay from up-the-road Space City obviously helped propel Pozo Seco from Texas to Top 40 national charting.

[alexwritestube]

@steve7138 thanks for providing that info. growing up in Corpus, i couldnt believe when i moved to houston that they were from Corpus. always liked their tune, the lyrics meant something but took me long time to understand them. thought that the standup bass looked so cool. Thanks & the post too!

[blucat1940]

All of their offerings are wonderful - thanks!

[roxidoxi2]

Now that I am in my fifties, my kids are grown, and my parents both gone, i understand this song which came out when I was barely a teenager....

[saggiest]

Time can be a friend and at the same time an enemy. When you were a 17 year old kid in Texas in 1966 and the draft board was beathing down your neck it was your enemy because time, it seemed, was rushing by. I weep as I hear this song. This was my anthem of the times.

[mguffee]

Amen, those times are so long ago but still here

[Oldgustav]

@saggiest + Here we are 40+ years later where did the time go.

[nowlkldy]

@saggiest My sentiments exactly. I was a 19 yr old kid in Kansas, my Dad had recently died, I was facing the draft and time just didn't seem to be on my side. I'm now 64, have fought two catastrophic illnesses and have cancer but somehow, I feel that time is now on my side. Funny how we learn as we age.

[moatdea60]

@saggiest

I was in the Navy_after joining to avoid the draft_when this came over the airwaves. And while I can remember not particularly wanting to be there at the time, I'd give anything to go back to those days and rejoin the shipmates I will remember till the end of my days. Time . . . where DID you go?

[11xzxzxz]

@saggiest This great song only made it to 47 on Billboard. I weep for that too .. such lousy tastes people have though music back then was great.

[Cinders29]

Oh, Memory Lane for a lot of us. Brings tears to the eyes. Where DID you go?

[mysticmrsam]

dont remember hearing this on the radio...only discovered it much later...rose to #47 on the pop charts in April 1966

[moorlock2003]

Great song!

[justmusicandme]

So true..... Thanks for sending, AriesGypsy

[ariesgypsy]

You are so welcome. I can't sing but I can send!! LOL LOL

[shocktower70]

This makes me want to weep, jump and holler, first heard while wasteing my life in the military...

Nobody shot at me, but all that I had was gone when I came home

[jim78250]

But, you made it back and you're still here. Thank you for your service.

[mtloweman]

This song brings back memories of my childhood, when the family went up to the San Bernardino Mountains. Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake are still there but seem so much smaller than they were in those days. Time, where did you go?

[mtloweman]

Ah, I still remember the Rim of The World Highway, the bright glint of Lake Elsinore in the distance, and this song, when I was 11 years old.

[1FrankFan]

Loved this song back in the day...I cannot believe I can't buy this song on ITunes or Amazon--unbelievable!!!!!!!!

[manitowaning]

Time, oh, good, good time,

where did you go......

[hakonos]

この曲を聴くと青春のまっただ中がよみがえります

大好きです

[ThruHiker52]

Thankyou, jgwalla.....this brings back great memories. Thanks again. Take care.

[jlan9312]

Thanks for "Time." I have always loved this song. I'll an older man who can remember them. Sometimes the song can make me cry. Thanks so much.

[2n918]

So listenable. So beautiful. Lyrics with meaning, wow, what a concept . . . Check out Pozo's "Excuse Me Dear Martha" another "B" side that is just incredible.

Thanks for posting.

[okzoia]

Beautiful!! Thank you so much.

[2madaug]

A young Don Williams adds great harmony to this song.

[videoert]

The lead vocal is done by Taylor Pie (aka Susan Taylor) Taylor Pie is still writing, singing and performing. Search Taylor Pie here on YouTube and you'll see some really great performances in the studio and on stage, including TIME with the Cumberland Trio. You can hear more of her music on CDBaby. A truly great folk talent that made the Pozo's so successful and loved.

[imusfan48]

What a great sound! I still have the original album on vinyl, I must have played it a 1000 times. Also have the compilation CD from both of their albums. Pres. Johnson loved this group, they were invited to perform at the White House for him. Also did a great cover of The Beatles, 'Strawberry Fields'.

[Nocaro]

The Pozo Seco Singers performed a special concert for the incoming freshmen at UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall of 1967. I'll never forget this performance or THIS SONG. Probably one of the most UNDERPLAYED great recording of its era. They also recorded what I consider the best version of the Beatles' "If I Fell" which also belongs on YouTube.

[jgwalla]

Hm.. pozo seco had a version of "If I fell"? i need to look that up... since i like the Beatles version

[shocktower70]

[longhornsrock1969]

A lost treasure-this is real music, not the crap they put out today. It does not get any better than this

[lumberjavk]

definently a lost treasure!! were did time go.

[lumberjavk]

pozo seco singers with susan taylor [taylor pie]took this folk classic song on the columbia record label and charted #7 on the u.s.billboard chart in 1966 . great upload!!

[revup67]

They have plenty of great material but perhaps the most quintessential song of the 60s (IMHO) is their track "I Can Make It With You". It's right up their with the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Dylan, etc. Long forgotten by most.

[rugby14fan]

Thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to hear it again for quite a while.

[butchalea]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[lovefeist]

I've been yearning to hear this again since 1965! (when I was 9) but didnt know who the singer was. I found your post by first Googling the chorus; found lyric on Glen Campbell's "Galveston; learned the author was Michael Merchant, which led me to Taylor Pie, and Pozo Seco. So thankful to finally connect with this wonderful artist and song. It was a big hit. Why has it become so forgotten?

[DevoShire]

Three Thumbs Up!

[TheMongoloidal]

Yes, it is. I'm glad I found it here.

[bufb]

a great song
