Clarence Carter - "Slip Away"

Performed May 27, 2010 @ BB&T's Party in the Park - Roanoke VA. Powered by EventZone - see www.EventZone.org

[@MrRonnieG]

Clarence Carter was born January 14, 1936 and was 74 years of age when he made this appearance. It's obvious that he's never lost that touch ~ live on, sing on, Clarence Carter!

[@henrygeertman5741]

Yes, very great contribution to music, Yet one question, that don't know the answer to, and definately no diisrespect, Was Clarence Carter blind? Dunno, but he could surely play, and sing.

[@jeanniebrown4925]

Yes sir. I was there in 2010 and what a pleasure to see him again. Last time was Buckroe Beach,Va. 1972💙❤What a great Talented Artist❤

[@pavelusa3423]

It is great to know that my cousin, Clarence Carter, still has so many fans. I never met the man. He is from here in Montgomery, AL. Most of his family from my side has passed on, but God has blessed him to still be here.

29 years old, and I know the music of Mr. Clarence Carter. Glad I had parents born in the mid and late 50's who introduced me to old R&B.

[@cindygrigg7911]

As a teenager I was in awe of his music. Loved it when he growled as he sang the chorus.

This man is incredible. He sings the same as ever and has great sense of humor. My mom grew up with his music and still plays them. AND she bumps it to where people think there's a party going on, but it's just my mom.

[@jackkio5663]

Very rare to have someone who sounds the same way in person as he does on vinyl !!!! Such a beautiful voice!!!

[@5871248]

I'd drive a long way to see CC do a live performance like this. Hire a nurse for my wife at home to keep that oxygen coming etc. and a guy to feed the dog. So good of him to play small venue like this and let people who maybe never would get the chance to see him. ripple red

[@MrRonnieG]

I was 21 years old when Clarence Carter's "Slip Away" first hit the radio in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. Radio stations KRLA/AM and KHJ/AM were belting out this sound and the AM radio in my 1957 Chevrolet was picking it up and laying it down. I only wish that I could have been there, at this performance, to enjoy a sound that is always remembered but is slipping away. This music is the vehicle I ride back into my cherished past with. I cannot tell you how special this music is to me.

At 0:20, check out the couple coming down off the hill (black dress & red shirt on the guy). They knew that this was the "real deal." I remember this song from 1968, I turned 21 that year and it was the very best year of my life and the magical music from Clearance Carter just made it all so much more memorable. I had the love of my life (Kathy), the best friends & family in the universe and my '57 Chevy. Sadly, I was drafted the next year (2/5/69) and nothing was ever the same again.

I remember many moons ago listening to this song over and over with my best friend Cleo Lewis from Pima, Arizona. Cleo loved this song so much and this was the only song she would play all day long. This brings back so much memories of Cleo and her boyfriend Adam. Adam was stationed at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California and Leo and I lived in downtown Los Angeles. Good ole days.

[@Chastonicity]

I remember this song as a child but I did not understand the meaning until I was in college. I love the beat, melody, instrumentation and Clarence Carter's voice for this Northern Soul music genre. I would listen to my Zenith shortwave multiband radio as a child and would pick up BBC radio late at night and learn about the music they called Northern Soul. I looked it up on Wikipaedia and got the following: Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged in Northern England in the late 1960s from the British mod scene as a particular style of black American soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamla Motown sound. I learned more about Northern Soul from Miss Sarah Collins and her Northern Soul Band and the release of her Keep The Faith album release. She sings cover music of most of the great Northern Soul singers who came from across The Pond in the U.S.A. I could listen to Clarence Carter all day without getting tired of him. Obviously, I love this extended version song of his called "Slip Away."
