Thread Name: 1974/75 Song Title/Songstress Search
Subject: RE: 1974/75 Song Title/Songstress Search
Here is my annual post of this thread. This is about the last song I have yet to find in my long search of songs from over the past 50 years or so. Mudcat, the Internet, and Joel Whitburn's books have made it possible to find the songs.

I found one song recently that I had been searching for over a 35-year period. It was an instrumental called "If I Only Had Time". I recently heard it on an internet radio stream and got the title. I then found a version with lyrics by Earl Grant. His song did not chart, not even on the Bubbling Under charts, but it is one of my favorites. My musical tastes often include obscure, uncharted music. I am glad some artists think the same way and take a chance recording these songs.

"If I Only Had Time"
