BROOKE BENTON- FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY

[dorodog]

Another great song written by the uber-talented Willie Nelson.

I don't need to say anything because Brooke Benton is saying it ALL.

Why would anyone dislike this song?

[jerryarlene01]

no one does this song better then jimmy elledge,willie has even agreed that jimmy is the king of this song.jerry.

[cmulwee001]

@jerryarlene01 Jimmy Elledge made it famous but it was first done by Billy Walker.

Not disappointed by this song at all, the smoothness, but the noise in the background messes up a great voice, Brook's interpretation is great.

With the possible exception of Johnny Hartman, the most vocally relaxed singer I have ever heard.

I love Benton, but he's all wrong for this tune, and if it's sung the way Willie wrote it, the melody spans two octaves and a third, making it more difficult to sing than "The Star-Spangled Banner."  Check out Elledge's, Felts' and Hinton's versions to hear this vocal challenge properly met.

I think this would be a LOT better if whoever posted this wasn't makin' a bunch

of extraneous noise in the background. Also coulda done without the schmaltzy

arrangement.. the female singers sorta ruin it. Pretty typical of the time- lots

of tunes sounded like this in the 50 's & 60's .. BB probably didn't have a lot to say

about it.

I am a Brook Benton Fan, but his interpretation of this song deeply disappoints me, I guess that after hearing Al Green's version, all other versions sound dull.
