i was a drummer for several country bands on the texas gulf coast in matagorda and surrounding counties back in the 60's and 70's, and i can't tell you how many times i played this song, people would request it everytime we played, i got very emotional playing it and i was just a kid of 14 years old....ah the good times..domingo perales
It is a beautiful song written by Kris Kristoffersen but this cover here is not by Jim Reeve at all and although this a good one my favorite version of it ,is by Elvis Presley who did a very good rendition of the song be it in studio or live in concert.
Thanks for posting this old favorite. I remember punching this one in on the juke boxes when I was just a young kid. It was a nice melody back then and still is now.
@OMGARGH ..."the Maori in New Zealand have a saying "when an old man passes away.. a library is lost "".. there is also a great native tree called the KAURI.. and the Maori say "A great kauri has fallen"
You COULD always flag it as having a misleading description. This is a nice copy of the Ray Price recording of a Kris Kristofferson song, but Jim Reeves was long dead before Kristofferson ever wrote his first song.
This song would have been ideal for Jim but sadly he died before it was written. This is not Jim Reeves (no-one could mistake his voice for anyone else) and yet it is still on youtube as him. Why isn't this sorted out by now?
ill be here if you find you should ever need me....................a true promise of love...thank you for posting this great song!!!!

The title of the song is actually For The Good Times. It was written by Kris Kristofferson and first recorded by him.
