Performed by Marilyn and Joe Adcock at the Camelia Walk Assisted Living & Memory Care Center on Evans-to-Locks Rd in Evans, GA on Mar 17, 2018. Marilyn solos and plays piano on this wonderful Kris Kristofferson ballad, first recorded in 1968 before appearing on Kristofferson's own debut album in April 1970. After a recording by Ray Price became a number-one hit single in June of that year, the song established Kristofferson as one of country and popular music's top songwriters while giving Price his first chart-topping country and western song in 11 years. Kristofferson wrote most of the song in 1968 while on a work-related road trip from Nashville to the Gulf of Mexico. It recounts the end of a love affair, based on a real life experience of his. At the 1971 Academy of Country Music awards, "For the Good Times" won in the category of "Song of the Year" (for Kristofferson as composer) and "Single of the Year" (for Price). In 2014, Rolling Stone named Price's recording number 18 on its "40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time”. Country singer Kacey Musgraves has said it "might be the saddest song of all time. It really breaks my heart.” For the Good Times lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Spirit Music Group.
