My band are thinking of learning the song, and we'd really like to know who wrote it. If anyone has heard the song or has any other information about it, I'd love to hear it. |

I think the actual title of the song is "Mae Frances." If I'm correct, you can find it on two Sweet Honey in the Rock albums, The Other Side and Selections 1976-88. Rebecca, if you have the lyrics, please post them. -Joe Offer- |

It is a passionate song. My chorus has done it; it's not as easy as it may sound. I can't find the lyrics on line (SWITR are very clear about copyright) and don't have time tonight but will post them later if I can. Meanwhile, you can listen to an excerpt here. Allison |
