"Crying Time" is a song from 1964 written and originally recorded by the American country music artist Buck Owens.[3] It gained greater success in the version recorded by American singer, songwriter, and pianist Ray Charles, which won two Grammy Awards in 1967. Numerous other cover versions have been performed and recorded over the intervening years.
History
Owens recorded the original version of his song and released it as the B side to the 45 single "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail" in 1964, Capitol 5336, but it failed to reach the music charts. A cover version of "Crying Time" was then recorded by R&B singer Ray Charles, and his version proved to be a hit. Featuring backing vocals by the Jack Halloran Singers and The Raelettes, the song reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1966.[3][4] Charles' version of the song also peaked at number five on the R&B chart and spent three weeks at number one on the easy listening chart.[5] In the United Kingdom, the song reached number 50 on the UK Singles Chart.[6] In addition, Charles' version of "Crying Time" won two Grammy Awards in 1967, in the categories Best R&B Recording and Best R&B Solo Performance.[3]
Style
Charles intended his version of Owens' song to be a tribute to the country music style he appreciated (Charles had successfully covered other country music songs in the past, such as "I Can't Stop Loving You"). He was quoted as saying that he did not record "Crying Time", and other country songs written by Owens, "out of disrespect for Buck. I'm crazy about Buck. But I heard something that fit my style. The key was keeping my style while watching my style work in different ways."[5]
