....this version of FUNNY HOW TIMES SLIPS AWAY comes from a terrific album...released @1990 or so...of various country and R+B stars. I have the CD BURIED in my collection. Can anyone recall the album title?
Jeff Healey came to my daughter's school for the blind a school he attended as well. He visited the music class she was in that day and got to strum his guitar.
Totally! I just heard this for the first time today. Live in small town Canada, so I don't get to hear soul and R&B live. Has always been my jam, along with Al's gospel. It does exist up here, but I can't get to Toronto. Hope to find this album on amazon. Bless you Sandy
I love this. Lyle Lovett and Al Green, great singers, so different from each other yet match very well. Billy Preston, nice......only just recognised him. What a song!!
Aww, I love this song..... I love how Lyle is so humble and reserved and how Al Green is so out there and emotional. They just blend so well. Beautiful song.
I shared this on FB, with the following comment : I bought the Al Green CD with this Lyle Lovett duet on it in 1996. Today I listen and the thought is: "How appropos". I suggest Conscious Thoughts to release judgemental opinions and experience the Joy of relationships, be they friend, family, and/or partners. Time to Mature my friends, "Time to enjoy this Moment in Time." 😘
Guy on slide guitar is the fabulous Jeff Healey, a well-know phenom from Toronto. Jeff came to prominence about 1985 here in Toronto, had his own hits, played with a lot of people, started his own club, unfortunately passed about 10 years ago.
On September 13, 2018 Al Green released his first new recording in almost over ten years (says Wiki) . Glad to hear he's still with us, and making music.
This song! These two guys Al and Lyle the video is just outstanding. See what racism and racist want to destroy. Can't let it happen. Funny how time slips away. Yeah!
This film has been edited but it still captures R&B at its best w/brilliant Al and Lyle. I will NEVER tire of seeing & hearing this beloved duo. And I just want to HUG Jeff Healey - what a beautiful spirit ! I wish I had been there to see it happen.
This is an excellent rendition of a timeless song. It shows that this session was a labor of love. All the musicians here are seasoned pros. For another very moving rendition, check out Lucky Peterson's version.
I have this album. So fortunate to find it in an amazon shop. The entire album is amazing. Sam Moore, Patti Labelle, Tanya Tucker, Little Richard, and several more: all duets of a R&B + Country singers. This is my favourite track. Love Jeff on the slide man. Soooooo good.
Love this version. Great arrangement. Also, RIP Billy Preston.

Absolutely love this version and learned to play it in about 5 min for my kids. That chorus says it right. It's a great song and that pedal steel player is a friend of mine from grade school in Arkansas. Doing some work with Stapleton now. Way to go Robbie T!
Well hello there My, it's been a long long time How am I doin' Oh well, I guess I'm doin' fine It's been so long now and it seems that It was only yesterday Ain't it funny how time slips away. How's your new love I hope that he's doin' fine Heard you told him, yes baby That you'd love him till the end of time Well you know, that's the same thing That you told me Well, it seems like just the other day Ain't it funny how time slips away. Instruments. Gotta go now Guess I'll see you hanging round Don't know when though Never know when I'll be back in town But I remember what I told you That in time you're gonna pay. Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away Yeah, ain't it surprisin' how time slips away ...
Sitting upstairs was mulling over about how could this old world done spun out of control. Blacks/whites, politics, hatred, greed, unapologetic actions with no logical reasoning...twisted men portraying women, women portraying men, same sex being validated by law, lying, cheating to gain what's not yours... this song played thru my head..."ain't it funny how time slips away"it was haunting to realize we're gonna get our moment of truth. 0940am 30May2021...just sitting here thinking funny how time slips away
I don't know why people rave about this. They have stripped away all the melancholy and the feeling that was inherent in possibly the best version (Willie Nelson notwithstanding) by Jimmy Elledge.
I agree. I like Lyle Lovett but he is better with his own songs. Where is the pathos in this version? They could be singing Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Hey I'm Papa Joe, this song should be a theme song for life it is the BOM BOM it was smoking hot then and it's smoking hot NOW I could listen to it for 7days a week you heard it here!

Just never get tired of hearing this rendition. This is what music's all about.

@@glennfromthebronx Rhythm, Country and Blues
@@kevinroones2442 thanks KEVIN. I've gone through 3 of about 7 boxes...know your name from the WFUV Fordham radio daily quizzes.
@@glennfromthebronx You have a good memory. I have the CD; it has several winners on it, but this song is my favorite.
@@kevinroones2442 ....as I recall Sam Moore also did a nice track....can't recall which country artist he worked with.
The Late Great Mr. Billy Preston making that Hammond B3 Talk!...God bless you my brother.
My 1st Concert
He was with George Harrison
@@bethbartlett5692 Yes! you're right Beth he was.
Would've loved to see him and Mr. B.B. King jam together.
Fantastic singing and music. Makes me think of how great this life can be. Peace brothers.
It really doesn't get much better than this. A great track from a truly remarkable album. .
Best version of this song ever!
First heard this coming out of the ceiling in a shoe store. I stopped looking at shoes and stood under a speaker.
Green received his ninth Grammy award for his collaboration with Lyle Lovett for their duet of "Funny How Time Slips Away".
If this song doesn’t put a smile on your face, I do not know what will!
Love both of these artists , This is my favorite version of Time slips away , Awesome !!!
Jeff Healey came to my daughter's school for the blind a school he attended as well. He visited the music class she was in that day and got to strum his guitar.
OMG this rendition is off the chain💤💤💤 I love it❣️ and Jeff on the Slide, doesnt get any better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally! I just heard this for the first time today. Live in small town Canada, so I don't get to hear soul and R&B live. Has always been my jam, along with Al's gospel. It does exist up here, but I can't get to Toronto. Hope to find this album on amazon. Bless you Sandy
This is a pure joy by these two, special mention to the musicians Jeff on the slide
and Billy Prestons keyboard which gives it that special sound.
I was just going to look up if it was Billy Preston. Amazing lineup!
Still listening in 2020👏👏👏
The best from the best! Al and Lyle makes you feel good and you have to smile with them. Just very good music and chemistry.
One word: MEMPHIS.
You bet!
I love this. Lyle Lovett and Al Green, great singers, so different from each other yet match very well. Billy Preston, nice......only just recognised him. What a song!!
Al Green is a national treasure. And yes, he was seconds away from a hallelujah.
Chuch!
Love how Country finally met R&B!
I believe *"Heaven listens, when Al sings"* 💫
Al was about to go to church at the end, and Lyle had that look of "please don't". I love this version.
yeah he was
TeeHeehee...
Looks like to me he was already there
Still epic in 2024.
Look at Lyle's eyes, piercing Al's, following/playing off Al's vocals. Legendary seesion.
Can't put in to words how this song makes me feel. Absolutely brilliant.
Ain`t It `Disturbing` How Time Slips Away! Seriously though... this is a great version of a cool song. Both Al and Lyle deliver and shine through. 😎
Brilliant. Always love hearing this version. It’s perfect. Thanks.
Two of my favourite male singers backed by a red hot band performing one of Willie Nelson's finest songs. Oh boy.
I love this version ❤❤
The band is great also, Billy Preston, Don Was...awesome arrangement...pleasure to watch the interplay between Al and Lyle
That Is Billy Preston...WOW!!!
Surely Diggin This Groove!!!
Thanks For Sharing!!!
Amazing, great vocals by al greene and lyle lovett. band is tight especially Billy Preston on organ.
Aww, I love this song..... I love how Lyle is so humble and reserved and how Al Green is so out there and emotional. They just blend so well. Beautiful song.
yeah, Lyle is a bit repressed but I love his voice and it's great to see them so happy. Anything by Al Green is my jam.

....featured (along with the Cruzados/tito larriva.....in the Patrick Swayze/Ben Gazzara /Sam Elliot movie ROAD HOUSE.
Well done, only music enthusiasts would know this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_Turner
@@kevinherd3437 lol there's zero chance that's Jeff Healey. A slight resemblance maybe.
hahahaha too much fun in the studio... love it...
Isn't that the truth -- the unedited version shows more -- I want to hug them all.
Excellent~~~
great studio musicians
organ has that Hammond B3 sound
Just 2 more minutes please.
Still enjoying this awesome collaboration. Thanks again for posting it. Great to see two happy gents.
The best version of this song, done by anyone.
Good musicians with good singers what can I say!
On September 13, 2018 Al Green released his first new recording in almost over ten years (says Wiki) . Glad to hear he's still with us, and making music.
Check raining in my heart, the album and acoustic versions
Don't get no better than this( it's funny how time slips away)🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️👏🏾👏🏾🌞🥳
A great song by Al Greene...Videography shows how they worked together in production of this. When lyrics and harmony work is always a good thing.
Flawless!
One of Al green best songs
Song is written by Willie Nelson
What an inspired tribute album this was!
That bass OMG! send chills up my spine! This is music! Seriously Cool!
That was just freakin' AWESOME!!
This song! These two guys Al and Lyle the video is just outstanding. See what racism and racist want to destroy.
Can't let it happen. Funny how time slips away. Yeah!
Preach, beloved.
Love these two guys!!! Awesome!!
Great!

what's to say? perfect comes to mind! thx for posting. imo God gave the common man music, which is more precious than any material object!
A great song sung by two of music's great singers. Makes me happy!
Country funk. :)
Ok I love this duo..
This is an excellent rendition of a timeless song. It shows that this session was a labor of love. All the musicians here are seasoned pros. For another very moving rendition, check out Lucky Peterson's version.
Rhythm, Country and Blues! One of the three best albums ever made. The other two: The Glory of Gershwin, and Tapestry Revisited. Amen.
Al Green bringing his rhythm & blues sensibility to this song took it to another level! Lyle and everyone else did a great job too!
OMG. Billy Preston is there too. No wonder this track is so great!
LOVE THIS !!!!!!!
Such a warm video. So wonderful to watch. Thanks Lyle and Al!...and Willie
Awesome.

Can Willie Nelson write timeless songs or what? Love these two, great collab, done extremely well.
wow!!! just fantastic!
The best ever!
I got this. This is a bad record. Love it
Again and again and again - always listening to this -- the best ever
Love it ❤
Fantastic
this is why sometimes it's good to ride the RUclips algorithm for awhile.
Great song. Great duet.
This is my happy place.
Love it! Thanks

Sublime.🎶
Well hello there
My, it's been a long long time
How am I doin'
Oh well, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well, it seems like just the other day
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
Instruments.
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay.
Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
Yeah, ain't it surprisin' how time slips away ...
Two of my favorites.
Best version of this song.
2 Giants!
I’ve always enjoyed this song, as well. What a collaboration. Have the CD ‘Rock, Country & Blues.”
just sublime and a great video

I just found this song and it makes me think of my x girlfriend who did the same. Good hurting and healing song. Take care
Meravigliosi❤️

Wow
Lovett is the insecure straight man and Greene is in a world of his own - but the chemistry is brilliant.
Its funny how times slip away
My song
Lyle doesn’t know what to think!
Joe hinton sang it from the writer's perspective with the lonely missing connotation.
Holy dooley
