'For the Good Times' is a song written by Kris Kristofferson, first recorded by singer Bill Nash 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.[1]
'For the Good Times' continued to be recorded by a number of artists in subsequent years, to popular success. The song became a staple of soul singer Al Green's concert repertoire in the 1970s,[2] also featuring as a studio recording on his 1972 album I'm Still in Love with You.[3] A version by Perry Como spent 27 weeks on the UK Singles Chart peaking at #7 in August 1973.[4]
- 2Ray Price's recording
Composition[edit]
Kristofferson wrote most of the song in 1968 while on a work-related road trip from Nashville to the Gulf of Mexico.[1] It recounts the end of a love affair, based on a real life experience of his,[5] in a manner that popular music scholar Steve Sullivan said 'conveys sadness, acceptance, and longing'.[1]
Ray Price's recording[edit]
An early recording of the song was by Bill Nash on Smash Records in 1968.[6] Kristofferson's own recording appeared on self-titled debut album in April 1970.[7]Ray Price recorded a version of the song on March 16, 1970,[1] accompanied by an orchestra in Nashville's Columbia Studio A.[5]
Price's recording was released as a single and made its chart debut on June 27, 1970, topping the country and western chart for one week and reaching number 11 on the pop singles chart.[1] 'For the Good Times' was Price's fifth #1 single and spent 19 weeks on the chart.[8] It was also his only release to hit the Top 40 of the pop chart.[9] Originally Price's label, Columbia Records, had released the song as the 'B' side of the single, but switched to promoting 'For the Good Times' after Wayne Newton recorded his own version of the tune. The flip side, 'Grazin' in Greener Pastures,' did receive credit on the country music chart.[10]
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).[11] In 2014, Rolling Stone named Price's recording number 18 on its '40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time'.[12]Kacey Musgraves has said it 'might be the saddest song of all time. It really breaks my heart.'[1]
The song was featured in television commercials promoting ESPN's coverage of the 2014–15 College Football Playoff.[13][14]

Al Green For The Good Times Free Mp3 Download 2017
Let's have a real good time, yeah, yeah
Some people don't know what it means
To have a real, real good time
Say it son, see I remember long time ago, yeah
My mother told me, she said son, son
She said son, son, son no matter where you go
Try to have yourself a real, real good time
So I thought tonight would be a fine time
For you and I to get together
And clap your hand like this
One, two, three, four
Have a real good time, have a real
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
Hey, let's have a good time, one time
Hey, let's have a good time, c'mon
We gonna laugh 'n' shout trouble's over
All the bad dreams will be comin' up in [Incomprehensible]
And we gonna sing with the heavenly choir
Say hello never say bye bye
We'll have a good time, no, let's have a good time
We'll have a real good time, let's have a good time
No, let's have a good time
Let us hearts be workin' together
Let our souls be singin' together
Let our love be what we're prayin' for
Oh, let me say one thing
I can see our destiny yeah right up ahead and
Right up ahead in front of me, yeah but
Rise up now, freedom now will set you free
Clap your hands with me
Have a good time, have a good time
Everybody have a good time
I am myself, have a good time
Let me feel it, have a good time
Have a good time
Everybody supposed to let it free
Have a good time
Have a good time, have a good time
Everybody in the studio, have a good time
Have a good time
