This refers to an edit for the page "As the Years Go Passing By" a song, perhaps incorrectly, attributed to Don Robey. The sentence reads: Other sources[who?] claim that the song was penned by Peppermint Harris for Fenton Robinson,[citation needed] who first recorded it in 1959.

In 1998 while driving Pepper to Sacramento's Torch Club for a Tuesday Night Blues Jam, Harrison Nelson, AKA Peppermint Harris told me he wrote: As The Years Go Passing By. He said he sold it to Albert King for a couple hundred dollars.

[Perhaps there is some documentation of that sale, but I think songs weren't sold that way -ie with a receipt.]

Commentary: at this point in Peppermint Harris' life, I observed he had hard times financially and his health was poor. But he was a sweet and trusting man and I was honored to spend time with him and hear stories of his life in and out of the music business.

Peppermint was the source and I am the messenger. I have no way to document what he told me.
