"'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, Duke #312. Flamboyant pianist James Booker also played on the session. 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 songs deals with a man who asks a woman not to leave him, as his love will continue for her 'as the years go by'.
Robinson rerecorded the song for his Grammy nominated 1977 album 'I Hear Some Blues Downstairs', which was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2010.
