Clarence Carter - "Slip Away"

[@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❤

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.

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.

[@jetterbetters1985]

Used to help my mom on a paper route in the middle of the night and we'd listen to oldies all night long. She showed me the golden oldies and I love it. My dad showed me rock and roll. And I love it!

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.

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.

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."
