Songs About Time

[Plebe]

Someone already posted The Rolling Stones cover, but just a few months earlier in 1964 it was recorded by the criminally underappreciated New Orleans legend Irma Thomas.

She is now 80 years old. Lives in new Orleans and still performs. AKA The Soul Queen of New Orleans.

Happy Time - one beautiful Tim Buckley song:

She's one of those hidden gems that I've always gone out of my way to introduce my friends to.

Here's a really neat (and recent) piece about the history of the song. Originally recorded in '63 by jazz trombonist Kai Winding and his orchestra. Her version, recorded in early 1964, featured additional lyrics and a rather different arrangement; The Stones, later the same year, then covered her version. She would not perform it for many years, until Bonnie Raitt in the '90s nudged her to sing it again.

Good memories accompany this one:

There's just something about this song, and the way Peggy sings it, that has just stayed with me through time. Good to listen to it now and then.

If you have a few minutes to listen to this beautiful Kenyan song please do. Translated it means "the rain is coming." Comments?

 

[Kaizen]

9 to 5

And this is the long (and pretty psychedelic) version. Mighty fine.

Grateful Dead, High Time.

Zombie time. Check out the clothes!

It is generally agreed that this song has the earliest occurrence of the phrase "Who's your daddy?"

George Harrison's ode to the female fans who hung out at the Apple studios:

You've been stood around for years
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
How it's been a long, long time
And how you've been on my mind, my Apple Scruffs.....
