Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson - Funny (How Time Slips Away) (Audio) 

My husband, Carl Jackson, arranged this song, produced the Adios album and asked Willie to accompany Glen...I think that it is just a brilliantly cool song...AND, my hubbs is playing the guitar on this....

I was watching a documentary the other day and country great Merle Haggard said "God gave Glen Campbell more talent than one man ever deserved".Glen Campbell's talent in one sentence.

This is the absolute best version of this song as far as I'm concerned! Willie and Glen made for a great duo. RIP Glen.

Glen's vocals on this are amazing. He was in the throes of a terrible disease when he recorded this just 5-6 years ago, yet he nails some amazing notes. What a beautiful singer he was.

RIP Glen, the most underrated musician that ever lived. What a talent!

I miss Glenn so much. I'm glad he and Willie sang together. I have listened to this more than once.

Wonderful, Glen can never be replaced and together with Willy, something very special

What a beautiful duet !❤ RIP Glen

I never watched Campbell much but when I saw his lovely daughter Ashley on Larry's Country Diner I googled him. I found a concert he did out west somewhere and bought it. I am amazed to see his performance. I finally realized he was a great gentleman with poise, musical talent, and true showmanship. A real treat for this fellah.

When it came out, I was a college student, full of energy. I had just entered 20 and there were so many dreams and aspirations. Now I'm 26, in that span of time, I have gone through so many trials and tribulations, had new experiences, there's been a lot of ups and downs in life but I really am hoping for the best. Been listening to Glenn Campbell for the last 12 years, the only thing that has remained constant in my life. I do miss being young and carefree.

Willie can do anything and Glen could do everything! Beautiful collaboration!!

Met Glen in Albuquerque when he was just a kid... he played at the hitchin post ...a great talent then... his uncle had a radio show " Ridin down the trail to Albuquerque... Saddle bags filled with beans and jerky..." Old Dick Bills... God what a lifetime ago!

The great Merl Haggard once said of Glen that he'd never seen so much talent in one body.

Singer songwriter and singer songwriter. Doing one of the most nostalgic songs ever. Bliss.

I had this played at my brother's funeral a few weeks ago, he was just 61.

Just to communicate with you is an honor. Please thank your husband, Glen, Willie, and anyone connected with producing the most perfect song I've ever heard!

The two voices are magical together, the two guitars are absolutely breathtaking!

So sad to watch such a great talent slip away. Bless you and thank you Glen, for all your wonderful music.

Glen Campbell, well, he may not have been the best, but I can't name anyone better at everything he did so darn well. He even played the bag pipes well, and that is hard to do. They were a part of his singing Amazing Grace at or near the end of his concerts. I am loosing to Agent Orange that caused my Pulmonary Fibrosis. But one of the many great things about dying a Christian is seeing those going ahead of me. I will see my family as well as my wife's and so many people that were part of my life and I will see Billy Graham and Glen Campbell! It was such a victory for the Lord when Glen was free of the drugs and drink he had gotten into.

One of the worlds best guitar player's and a great voice too!A wonderful entertainer...his music and legacy will live on.RIP Glen.

I don't think I've ever, heard it sound better. Thanks to all y'all, who've worked on this...and the legends, performing it.

who clicks the "DISLIKE" thumbs down on this? There should be institutions for people like that!

Fabulous! 2 Legends!

Jesus Christ, Glen Campbell was the best. He is missed.

I see Carl in the scenes with Glen and remember Glen saying "unreal" about Carl's talent on Johnny's Tonight show. What a friend Carl was in introducing Kim to Glen. LOVE

Excellent production. One of the best and catchiest riffs.

RIP Glenn Campbell.Your music will live on forever!

Glen Campbell"s voice got even better on this album A truly great artist

Rest in peace, Glenn. You Are still loved. Shake Johnny Cash's hand, from us all. And, have a ball with Waylon . You all are missed.... But, never forgotten.

A couple of months ago, my dad introduced me to this song and it changed the way I listen to music and the way I make music. It sounds like they've recorded it in one take and left the little sniffs and rustiness in the song. That way the song is at its purest and for me, that's the most beautiful way to make music.

A voice of velvet, fingers that just could do no wrong on the strings, and a rich life of many ups and downs. RIP to one of my favorite voices. Willie is a good contrasting voice for him.

LOVE the sound of Glen Campbell & Willie Nelson's voices......

It's sad when anybody passes, but it's especially sad when their mind leaves before their body does.

Glen's guitar work here is sparkling crystal. They're great together.

Beautiful version from two great stars.

Saw him on his farewell tour. Greeted us with "It's great to be here - wherever here is!" Lovely goodbye.

God bless Glens soul and bless his great family...my oh my, what a great talent, and person, he was. There are truly few in the world as Glen Campbell. His friend Waylon once publicly praised Glen on TV for never forgetting the Nashville C/W men and women when Glen had them on his TV show a lot. He had Waylon on and sang with him...Glen, a terrific entertainer. He sang from the heart, as Waylon Jennings did too, and the sons really got to me.

It's hard to believe Glen is gone from us. Thankfully he has left behind many wonderful musical memories. RIP

Sure loved Glenn, saw him live in the Ozarks with Andy Williams.....what a show a few yrs ago Genn has his daughter with him also !

Glen always could hit those high notes. He was a very gifted artist.

at that age, he still got his legendary voice through these years.

He is one of kind. Glen is a national treasure, never to be forgotten, and even Willie is a man who will never be swept under the rug. This is a beautiful rendition of a major country hit that will last forever.

And not a sad song, Not a breakup song. It is a happy acceptance of life. Time slips away because we are attending to more important things. Once in a while we may get the opportunity to revisit 'stuff'' that occurred 'once upon a time'. Knowing full well that the Ferryman must always be paid!

Beautiful version of this song with Glenn

Loving thoughts, hugs and prayers to the Campbell family. Glen will be so sadly missed. I have loved his music since I was a little kid. Rest in peace, sweet man!

Hats off to Glen, soldiered on to the end..creative man that he was... just wanted to give his music.. and not forgotten.

RIP Glen. We have always loved your music and will keep your fabulous records turning down here in New Zealand.

fantastic song and singers

From one cowboy to another, rest in peace Glen. A true inspiration to me as a guitarist.

This song topped the R&B charts as well as country This song is almost old as me and I got here in July of 1959

Beautiful everything. Willie's iconic song. Glen's crystal, pitch perfect voice and effortless sounding guitar and Willie's soulful singing and country/jazz guitar sound. Big sigh. All is well. RIP Glen...you will be missed every day.

I wasn't a fan of Willie Nelson either but then I came across a BW vid of Willie singing this same song. I was shocked!!! Who is this handsome guy and why does he sound just like Willie Nelson?!! We always hear, "Don't judge a book by it's cover", which is what I did exactly. It brought about a change of heart and I began to see this great legend in a new light from his earlier days! He really is a great artist inspite of the Hippy-rebel looks! Give him a chance!!!!!

Wow, never realized all the hit songs that Willie Nelson has written.

Roy Clark was right! Give Glen anything with a string on it and he can play it! Glen's best friend, Alice Cooper, said Glen was one of the top two or three guitarists in the music industry.

Time slips away, but GLEN CAMPBELL and WILLIE NELSON's music doesn't! Today (Nov. 8, 2017) they were recognized with CMA's 2017 Award for MUSICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR for their recording of "Funny (How Time Slips Away)" released on Glen's final studio album, 'Adios'. ~Dee

He was one of my favorite country performers. He will be truly missed but he left a lifetime of memories for all to enjoy. RIP Glen Campbell your work down here is done!

Who are the 26 "clueless cretins" that gave this a thumbs down? Unbelievable. These are two of the greatest country singers ever and this song written by Willie is pure country gold.

I never realized how great a guitarist he was until I watched some of these videos. Virtuoso ability. That part of his talent never became common knowledge as I think it should have.

Glen Campbell was unbelievably talented. I miss his music so much. I love you, Glen, Vicki RIP

How are you sir mrGlen Campbell? RU-vid pancalas channel sends STANDING OVATIONS to you sir singing my most favorite song-Funny how time slips away, VIVA SIR MR GLEN CAMPBELL through on VIVA RU-vid NOW AND FOREVER!

Two masters!

So very glad to hear Glen. But also so very sad for us all to watch such a great talent slip away. Bless you and thank you Glen, for all your wonderful music! My sweet Mother sure did love you!

What a fantastic artist. I've always loved his singing and guitar playing. Just another great album. Just wish him all the best.

I played this beautiful song at my brother's funeral last week ..... lovely song ....

I feel so bad now that a long time ago when Glen was on TV that all I saw was his shiny hair and did not appreciate what an amazing talent he was. Ain't it funny how time slips away and you can't get it back to make a do-over. We have to make do with recorded memories. Sigh!

I have never heard a bad version of this Willie Nelson classic (his #1 copyright) but my favorite is the Narvel Felts version. Sure gonna miss Glen when that time comes---as a fellow Arkansan he has done us proud.

The Rhinestone Cowboy rides into the sunset. Rest In Peace Glen Campbell. Thanks for the music.

OMG, this is so beautiful. Never heard it before.

His music and talent will never be forgotten..we will always love you glen..I have been a fan for 50 years

R.I.P. Glen Campbell...Thanks for everything...

GLEN WAS A MUCH REQUESTED SESSION PLAYER BACK IN THE DAY,,,STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT,,,TEQUILA,,PLAYED SOME TUNES FOR THE BEACH BOYS,,,SOME 500 SONGS HE PLAYED ON BEFORE HE STRUCK OUT ON HIS OWN,,,,I TOO AM A GREAT FAN GOD BLESS YOU GLEN,,,,RIP

Christmas 2020 remembering the gifts Glen shared with us,,,,,, love you Willie, telling you now......IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE! ✨✨✨

I can't watch or listen to Glenn anymore without tearing up.

Godspeed, Glen Campbell, to that great Opry in the sky. :'(

Great ,I am a 70 year young Viet Nam Vet , spending Thanksgiving alone , It's just too fast how time goes.by.

Glen and Willie.... two of my all time favorite cowboys!🤠🎸♥️

A wonderful Willie song augmented and illuminated by the presence of the extraordinary Glen Campbell . Some duo -- Some song .

Mrs. Jackson, please tell Mr. Carl that I’m just another who has loved his music since I first heard him play and sing. This arrangement is pure brilliance, as are the vocals and playing.

God bless you Glen..Thanks for the memories. ..

RIP Glen. We knew this day would come but it's still hurts to know you are gone. And yes, time has slipped away.

I heard this last week on "Imus in the Morning," and it damn near broke my heart... ...because, even with his encroaching insidious infirmity, Glen still sang and played great! (Although "Crazy" gets a lot of justifiable attention, I have always considered this tune to be Willie's masterpiece.)

My heart swells....2 of my favorite gentlemen! Listen to them both every single day. (smiling ear to ear)

I can't stop listening and loving this song, absolutely magical 💗💗💗

RIP Glen Campbell

Close your eyes and rest, sweet prince. There is a place waiting for you and it is filled with more joy than your heart could ever imagine.

Glen sounds very good ,it's amazing.He was so close to me in song all through my teens, I wanted so much to write him but felt there were probably too many walls,I'm sure Glen had millions of fans and that one more letter would probably just get lost in the shuffle & a reply from one of his secretary's would just be a letdown, so all I can do is wish him all the best always and forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was surprised to find out Glenn was one of the well known session musicians in L.A. in the early days...Great rendition of my favorite ballad..well done Glenn..R.I.P.

love it. I'm praying for him and the family. worst disease to get, hurts my heart

This is a classic...Glen's voice is so rich...and his guitar licks... wow! Just fabulous, thank you so much for this.

Two great talents, and such a fitting song and series of songs on Glen's final album.

Nearly 40 years ago I listened to Glen Campbell play with the San Francisco Symphony at a pops concert. His brother came and sang with him as well. And Glen played the bagpipes for a bit. He wanted to keep on going so he took up a collection from his band to pay the orchestra and keep on going. Great night.

Just bought his new album..."Adios", one word...fabulous! If you ARE a GC fan you must buy it too!!

I memorized the song 'I'll never meet another hunk of woman like Ann' cause that was my mom's name. Such good memories. God speed

Best version ever on that song. Gen Campbell "owned" it.

What a beautiful arch top Eppi. Broken fret marker and all, battle wounds of a true ax. God Bless you Glen. I miss you.

If your husband is the Carl Jackson, then in my opinion he is one of only a handful that could stay with Glen Campbell on anything with strings. I did not know he produced, but I know he could play.

My favourite American artist. Such a huge talent.

This rivals the original. I had the same feeling the day Merle passed. Thanks Glenn and Willie.

Thank you! I was so thrilled and grateful to see him in 2011 in Los Angeles. He was in good form, but needed help from his daughter to keep on track. Glen Campbell, ace guitarist and singer; we won't see his like again.

I've been hearing this same sad refrain my entire life. Gets truer each day.
