When you think of Don Williams, you probably picture him alone on stage — just that smooth baritone, a gentle guitar, and words that wrapped you in warmth. But hidden in the chapters of his career is a hauntingly beautiful duet that many fans have forgotten — and a final photo together that breaks hearts to this day.
Long before his legendary solo success, Don Williams often shared the microphone with other talented voices. But one partnership stood out: his brief, magical pairing with Susan Taylor — better known as “Taylor Pie” from the Pozo-Seco Singers. Together, Don and Susan harmonized in a way that felt like family, pouring quiet emotion into folk-country gems that still echo today.
One of their most tender moments was captured in a candid backstage photo — Don, relaxed and smiling, Susan by his side, eyes sparkling with that same warmth. They had just performed what would be their final song together, “Time,” a bittersweet ballad about holding on to moments that slip away too soon.
When Don Williams left the Pozo-Seco Singers to chase his solo dream, many assumed the duo would reunite someday. But life had other plans. While Don soared as “The Gentle Giant” of country music, Susan continued her own journey, and their voices were never recorded together again.
Years later, fans who stumble across that last photo and listen to “Time” can’t help but feel a lump in their throat. There’s something heartbreakingly fitting about how Don Williams — a man whose songs always reminded us that nothing lasts forever — left behind a duet about how precious every fleeting second truly is.
Today, that forgotten final song feels like a whisper from the past, reminding us to treasure every goodbye and every last note sung in harmony. If you’ve never heard it, find it tonight, close your eyes, and listen. Don and Susan may have drifted apart, but in that haunting duet, they’re forever together.
