Jimmy Elledge

Jimmy Elledge (b. January 8, 1943, Nashville, Tennessee) is an American country musician.

Elledge sent a demo tape to Chet Atkins when he was 18 years old, which resulted in a contract with RCA Victor. His first recording for the label was "Funny How Time Slips Away", which was written by Willie Nelson and produced by Atkins. The song became a hit, peaking at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961, [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:knfwxqtgld0e~T5 Billboard] , Allmusic] and sold over one million copies.
