In your opinion, who performs the most moving "How Time Slips Away" that brings tears to your eyes? Willie Nelson?

| It's entirely subjective. Willie wrote it, but I've heard it sung better. |

| If you mean vocal cuts, I've always been partial to Narvel Felts' version. I think everybody and his brother has done it from country to pop to R&B. |

The very first cut I ever heard of it was in the early sixties by a young black singer named Jimmy Elledge... He did the best version I've ever heard to date..........JH in Va.

| Favorite version is from "Willie Nelson & Family Live," then the Willie Nelson/Ray Price combination on the "San Antonio Rose" album which featured the Big E. |

 I was just hunting for something in my pile of old vinyl discs and ran across an old Tom Jones LP. His rendition of Funny is pretty soulful.
I'm still staying with Narvel as my favorite vocal cut though. |
