Slip Away (Clarence Carter Song)
"Slip Away" is a song written by William Armstrong, Marcus Daniel, and Wilbur Terrell and performed by Clarence Carter, featured on the 1968 album ''This Is Clarence Carter''. Original version Composition In its musical structure and theme (of infidelity), "Slip Away" would seem based on the template of "Steal Away", the 1964 self-penned Jimmy Hughes hit which had been the first single recorded at FAME Studios. The official songwriting credit for "Slip Away" lists three musicians from Clarence Carter's touring band: keyboardist William Armstrong, bassist Marcus Daniel, and drummer Wilbur Terrell. Marcus Daniel, Carter's sideman since 1962, had previously co-written - with Carter and Wilbur Terrell - " Tell Daddy" which, after becoming Carter's inaugural R&B hit at the start of 1967, would - as "Tell Mama" - be recorded by Etta James that summer to become an R&B Top Ten R&B hit and Top 40 crossover. Daniel would nevertheless recall that in 1967 he had been feeling uneasy about his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
