Reply With QuoteI've noticed one in 1978 by Angela Bofill and I browsed through their compilations on CD and about 5 later albums on WB and can not find it. I know they did a live set in 1981 and it is not on it.
Who did the other version?

Did they record their own version of the song they wrote called Rough times? I have recordings by 2 other acts but not A&S themseleves, though I don't have all their LPs

Lyrics
Rough times
These are the rough times
All your cares decline
These are the rough times
Rough times
These are the rough times
'Bout to lose my mind
These are the rough times
Upsetting days are here again
Times like now
where are my ( #@$%) friends
Said, let's get together
'bout a quarter to ten
Still ain't here
& no phone call again .....
:roll:

Candi Staton did it too, its on the flip of "When I Wake Up...". The Angie B version is much better, but I just wondered if there was an A&S orig. I have 7 of their 70's/early 80s albums and its not on any of them, but I may be missing 1 or 2

The track is not on any of their albums, unless it would be their second 1973 lp, which I don't have. Seems unlikely, as it was being recorded by the other artists in the late 70s.
