King (16)

Songwriter credited for the title "As The Years Go By" in error. "As the Years Go Passing By" is a song penned by Peppermint Harris for Fenton Robinson, who first recorded it in 1959 on Duke Records. It is credited to have been written by Deadric Malone (a pseudonym of Don Robey), owner of Duke, which was a customary practice for some producers and label owners at that time. It was originally titled "As the Years Go By." The King credit may refer to Albert King who recorded it for his 1967 Stax album "Born Under A Bad Sign" (Stax 723). Carlos Santana played it many times early in his career.
