Ricky Nelson.....Funny How Time Slips Away

[thefabulousthomasj]

The DEFINITIVE version of this song IMHO.

Bless your hide for posting this.

I think everyone and their brother has done this song. Rick's version is by far the best.

[wilcarr1]

Good job with this song. Does Willie proud.

[CATniteOwl]

Maybe the best version of this song. I've always liked his voice and songs but he was just awesome on this!

[barrygioportmorien1]

@CATniteOwl Yes, It's my favourite version of this song also.

[thetimelesswonders]

@CATniteOwl For some reason I seem to agree. I know Willie's version(he wrote it),but this is very special,and extremly well done.

[carolinesoswt]

did he die in a plane crash?

[CATniteOwl]

@carolinesoswt yes, he died in a plane crash. And now all of the Nelsons are gone - Ozzy, Harriet, David and Ricky.

This song this version helped me thru a divorce....Ricks music and his interprtation of great songs like this could take you down to the depths of dispare...then back to the top....the entire song is done in that true country western style...back when it was still called such....

[rockin1953]

sounds a lot like Willie Nelson, wonder if there's a relations?

[sandhorse1]

@rockin1953

Rick and Willie are first cousins. Ozzie's brother is Willie's dad.

Kind of a gem... I hadn't heard this... the maturity in his voice makes me think it was later in his career?

Tragic loss... his records were always good-to-great.

He was a gifted comedic actor, too, and he held his own with Dean Martin and John Wayne in a western, if I'm not mistaken.

Ricky has such an easy relaxed style. Sort of like Perry Como. No caterwauling or overly emotional histrionics. It's a pleasure to listen to him.

Thanks for the post.

[rockxxz]

I like this version and Elvis, too, I love their country songs.

Rick is a perfect singer, flawless. I wish he was alive, he had so much more to do. None of the singers of today could measure to his great talent!!!.

LONG LIVE RICK!!!.

God but he had so much talent. Elvis only barely did as well at this song,Thank so much

[spabrat]

[Wankuz]

One of the best country song ever listen :D

[Thearl]

I'm not a big fan of country, but I like this.

[PaulinaRena]

I love this classic - one that only Willie could write. Ricky sings this so wonderfully - he's so good looking and sexy. Ricky had so many great songs recorded and his style as a singer and musician is unforgettable. I wish he had been with us longer. This song is a popular karaoke song and sounds so good in a duet, too. Thank you for posting this. - Paula

I agree with you so immensely, Ricky was next to Elvis in the Rock n' Roll world and he could sing a Country song ag good as anyone, and I am a big country fan. Ricky was more of a Country singer than any of the so called Country singers of today, he was just never accepted as such, except by his real fans.
