Time
(As Time Goes By)
It's night time in the Big City
a student faces down a deadline
a man with gin on his breath is pulled over
ÂAmerica's favorite radio programÂ
Singers and Songs
Irma Thomas ÂA snow leopard ready to pounce -Time is on My Side (time to pay a second visit to the anthology CD of the same name.)
Dr. John-Right Place, Wrong Time (is on the good doctor's album "In The Right Place".)
Arthur ÂDooley Wilson -As Time Goes By (as everybody knows, this is featured on the soundtrack to "Casablanca". Top song, top movie.)
Derrick Morgan -Time Marches On (this is on the CD of the same name - possibly deleted in the US, but still listed new at Amazon UK.)
Sleepy LaBeef -All the Time (this can be found on a fine Ace VA collection "Rockabilly Shakeout".)
Etta James-Only Time Will Tell (find this on "The Very Best Of Etta James: The Chess Singles", an import into the USA. This is in fact a better choice than "The Essential Etta James" mentioned in the Telephone post, as it contains both songs featured, where that one doesn't have this song.)
Eddy Boyd-24 hours (is on "Chess Blues Classics: 1947 to 1956".)
Tyrone  Tyrone the Wonder Boy  Davis-The Hands of Time (from "The Tyrone Davis Story" .)
Bobby Milano -Life Begins at 4 O'clock (this can be found on "More Hollywood Rock 'N' Roll".)
Billy Ward and The Dominos-60 Minute Man (this classic song turns up all over the place on roots of rock 'n' roll type sets, and almost equally predictably on any Dominoes anthology.)
Cab Calloway- 15 Minute Intermission (this classic song turns up all over the place on roots of rock 'n' roll type sets, and almost equally predictably on any Dominoes anthology.)
ÂThat time of the evening when you just want to take a break, visit your old friends alcohol and nicotine.Â
Willie Nelson-Funny How Time Slips Away (one of Willie's earlier songs, this appears on "The Essential Willie Nelson".)
Lou Reed-September Song (this is from a VA set called "September Songs: The Music Of Kurt Weill".)
Ray Charles-2 Years of Torture (this is a track from Brother Ray's album "The Genius Of Ray Charles". Real hardcore Ray fans may like to investigate a recent set of his complete recordings for Atlantic (8 discs I think!). I have an older box of his R&B output for the label (3 CDs) which doesn't include this song.)
Patsy Cline-Walking after Midnight (here are many Patsy Cline sets around, and I should think the ones that don't include this (if that's any at all) could easily fit onto the fingers of one hand. One example, "The Patsy Cline Collection". As with the Ink Spots, a choice is governed by how much Cline is wanted, and how much (or little) is prepared to be spent.)
Clarence ÂGatemouth Brown -The Witching Hour Âthe boogie rambler (as with the previous Gatemouth track on TTRH, this can be found on "Boogie Uproar: Texas Blues And R&B 1947-1954" on JSP.)
Eugene Pitt and the Jive 5-What Time Is It? (this is on Rhino's "The Doo Wop Box II", and on a group round-up called "Our True Story" on Ace, to name just two sources.)
The Soul Vendors-Real Rock . (This group (also known as Sound Dimension) were the house band at the famous Studio One in Jamaica. This item formed the basic rhythm track for the next song played by Bob. It can be found on "Studio One Rockers: The Best Of Studio One", where I think the group are listed as Sound Dimension rather than Soul Vendors.)
Willi Williams -Armigedion Times (the first time I heard this great song was when the Clash covered it for the B-side of their London Calling single, but it wasn't for a long time after that I came upon the original on a CD called "100% Dynamite! Soul, Ska, Rocksteady & Funk". This is currently available in Europe, but listed as a pre-order on Amazon.com. Another option is a set called "Respect To Studio One", or there are discs devoted to Williams also.)
The Chambers Bros.- Time Has Come Today (can be found on the group's "Greatest Hits".)
