Guess Who’s No Time is the ultimate “it’s not you it’s me”. The seasons changed and so did I, you need not wonder why there’s no time left for you.

Oh yeah that is a breakup song. Honestly by the time the 14 minutes of amazing guitar solo are done I’ve completely forgotten there were lyrics. Probably what kept it off the list.

Isaac Hayes: Walk On By

In 1964, Dionne Warwick marked the first artist to score a hit with this Burt Bacharach-penned tune. Five years later, funk and soul star Isaac Hayes recorded this 12-minute interpretation of “Walk on By” for Hot Buttered Soul. The song, in which the narrator begs their ex keep on walking if they ever cross paths (so that they can hide their tears and maintain their “foolish pride”), has been covered by dozens of artists, including Gloria Gaynor, Seal, Cyndi Lauper, and The Beach Boys, to name a few.

Different Drum--The Stone Poneys (1967)

One of the DJs on Boss Radio 93 KHJ called the group the Stoned Ponies. Nonetheless, it got a lot of airplay on that station.

Hmm. No Johnny Cash “I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart”

Or Roy Clark, "Thank God and Greyhound".
