I'm seeing a lot of pathetic pining-for-my-youth comments here people. Not very interesting to read. How about you older fans take a cue from the younger fans and explore the band's catalog with a fresh perspective that is not so soaked in nostalgia. Maybe try discussing the band's unique sound and it's woefully underrated brilliance.
I just read the Orpheus bio. It said that after the debut of "Can't Find the Time" the group played clubs in Detroit. Anyone have any idea what clubs? I was originally from the Detroit area at that time and followed this group but don't have any recollection of them playing locally (except possibly playing a local Windsor, Canada TV station).
According to bassist Eric Gulliksen's recollections, Orpheus played a week at The Chessmate in Detroit just after the release of the first album.
"This and a couple more similar gigs were meant to let us polish our act prior to our "official debut." Somehow we got involved with Detroit's hippie community, folks like John Sinclair and the MC5. This was about six months after the Detroit Rebellion - there still were bullet holes in some of the walls of our motel rooms."
In an interview with PMP Network's Mark Snyder, Bruce Arnold talked about arriving in Detroit for a gig in '68 as well as an interesting conversation with a local radio station Program Director, which provided the first hint that the band's label (MGM) was failing.
Wow! My favorite song from 1968 and the girl that I loved then & never told her! Wondered for 43 years what might have happened had I told her. Thanks for posting this!
Backin 1984 my band was playing a ski resort in NH and Jack, the guitar player in the striped shirt was doing a solo across the lobby in the small lounge. He'd come over and watch and in return we'd visit his show on our breaks. My drummer one of the drummers for the Buckinghams and I would get called up by Jack and for 20 minutes we'd sing harmonies to his songs. After being booked there for a month our last night came up and he played this song for us. Big thrill for us.
Loved this song. Can even remember the first time I heard it. Goofing around with some friends at Nantasket Beach, listening to what had to have been WMEX. Great memories!
Brilliant song!...I was just a little kid when this came out but i remember hearing it.
I'm glad i found this song again...It's could that we can find our memories on YouTube even when fate takes them away too song...Usually when i hear a long lost oldie i can hear instantly why it didn't make top 10...But "Can't Find The Time" leaves me wondering why this wasn't there...
In 1968...i fell in ln luv with this song...my poor roomate heard it a million times...then they came to Boston....and I saw them sing it in person.....sigh
@realbrucearnold Loved your group and sound. As a jock in NYC in the early 70s I played your cut Can;t Find the Time as often as possible.. likewise "Brown Arms in Houston."
Their album, " Orpheus", has " Lesley's World", another wonderful cut , & hopefully one we'll get uploaded here someday. It's warm, romantic, & just beautifully sung by Bruce. I always wonder who he wrote it for; maybe we'll find out? it's just a great song, as is this masterpiece. Wolfsky9
Mr. 2del, sorry for the confusion. I did not see them perform at Salem Willows. I was parked their with my girl friend at the time, listening to them on WMEX.
I have always loved this song and the arrangement. You can find do little on this group. I was just a kid when this song came out, but I remember it well. You guys were great !!
Saw these guys in '68 at Towson University (Baltimore) while sitting on the floor (no chairs) in the 'all-purpose room'. Great song. Hootie does a cover that does it justice, too.
Lived in Boston in the fall of 1968 - this song was huge. Local boys make good, etc. It's still a timeless song - wonderful, vintage footage - thanks!
Summer, '68, I fell in love with this, and " Lesley's World", by Orpheus. Thank-you Bruce, for giving us this music! The memories are forever. Wolfsky9
This is a great song. I rediscovered it about 2 or 3 years ago on xm satellite radio. I made a few copies to make sure I play it often. I compare them to the 'New Colony Six' group with "Things I'd Like To Say" and "I Will Always Think About You." It's a shame they had bad management otherwise they could have gone a lot further. All they needed was some exposure on TV or in a flick and god knows how far they could have excelled. They definately were talented. The lyrics do say a lot!!!
Wow, I haven't heard this song in ages! In 1968, I saw Orpheus and another "Boss-Town Sound" band, Earth Opera at Drew University in New Jersey. I believe the headliner was Jefferson Airplane.
BeckyG3r1: Allow me to be the last one to wish the two of you congratuations on your wedding. You are right --- this is one wonderful song and it holds up about as well as anything from the 60s!
This was our wedding song in 1974 and to this day I can't play it with out a tear in my eye. It didn't make it big yet everyone loved it, but it made a great, unique, special, and memorable wedding song that will burn in our hearts forever. Gary and Rebecca 9/29/1974
1968 - Just a kid hanging out at Harvard Square Church steps with hundreds of kids when this song was a hit. So many of the kids loved this song. Such a beautiful song and a great time in my life. Thanks for sharing it, and bringing back great memories of hearing it on the radio with those kids.
"I look at your pretty face and I fall in love with you, fall in love with you every time I see you" Who can forget their first crush when hearing this?
What a trip! I had the pleasure of being friends with Jack McKenes's then wife and her brother---still do---and as a geeky 12-17 year old got to hear Jack play solo acoustic now and then and get backstage with them at a show they did in Boston circa 1969. The arrangements for the albums--by Allen Lorber, at least some of them--really are top-rate. They used to complain about their music being "Lorberized"--guess he didn't do such a bad job after all. How ya doin, Jack?
They were from Boston and in most of New England this was a top 5. I was in college then and this song was a nice break considering the times. Right up there with "Groovey Kind of Love" and "Love is all around". Great love somgs for the 60's.
Just a great, great song. Never charted nationally but it was all over the radio when I was a student at Boston Univeristy back in the day. One of my all-time favorites.
Great to find an old performance of my old friend & guitar teacher Bruce Arnold,..One could not meet a finer human being than Bruce...Thanx for sharing...
This is one of my favorite songs. I think I wore out the record several times. Love to seem them in concert. They have such get harmonies, and the song is great !!
This was one of my favorite songs when I was 16 years old. The time was the late 60's. I searched for this song forever. I am so happy that I finally found this on YouTube. I can;t Find the The Time To Tell you brings back so many fond memories. Thanks for posting.
I love this song! I sent an e-mail to Bruce Arnold to ask him the meaning of the song especially the words "Baby you're wrong". here is his reponse:
"Hi Frank,
Thank you for the kind words and continued interest in my music.
I wrote "Can't Find The Time" when I was 20 years-old. It was composed for my then girlfriend who felt I didn't verbally communicate my affections enough. I disagreed -- hence the "baby you're wrong".
dedicated to "kunny" may he rest in peace. met him at the "y" in '70. another of the old crew gone too soon....041608... thanks for posting this song........
Now this song brings back memories. I was a young punk hanging around a local YMCA. The juke box had this song in it and was one of the favs. There will never be music like this again. Thanks for posting!
Great! I am a 46 year old HeavyMetaller and one of the 10 CD's I have(well Orpheus is a CDR from the LP of my dad) that is not metal! My favorite song is Leslies World but this is a great album!
Yes. The song was called "I've Never Seen Love Like This". It was the second single off of Orpheus' 1968 debut album. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel to see the video for it.
What a BEAUTIFUL song! I never get tired of this song no matter what. I'm only 18 so this was out a long time before me, but WOW, so beautiful. I play this when I'm with my girlfriend.
A few years ago there was an Orpheus anthology that had featured a mix of Can't Find The Time To Tell You with the acoustic guitars and vocals (no bass, electric guitar, drums and orchestra). It sounded incredible and too bad the group had to lip-synch this TV appearance because if they were allowed to sing it "unplugged" it would've been awesome to hear. BTW - I agree that MGM dropped the ball on promoting them becuase they recorded some great albums.
What a tragedy MGM didn't do a better job promoting this wonderful song. Bruce Arnold's voice is amazing and the harmonies are great too. Few people know that Arnold and backup singer Jack McKennes were the only band members to play instruments on this track. Drums and bass were actually the great team of Bernard "Pretty" Purdie and Joe Macho Jr. Watch the band's moronic stage drummer try to mime Purdie's drum fills. The idiot doesn't even know how to hold his sticks!
I really like this song and have been watching it daily for a week now. But I just notice something today--I didn't realize John Lithgow used to be a bass player.
Steve Martin was a songwriter and friend of Orpheus leader, Bruce Arnold. Bruce rearranged some of Martin's songs and included them on the group's first two albums. Martin had nothing to do with CFTT and was not hired into the group until 1971. Despite protests from the band's label, producer and fans, Arnold insisted that Martin take the lead vocals on several tracks for the band's 4th album. The result was a record, which sounds nothing like the band's previous LP's.
The 1971 version was by a group called Rose Colored Glass. It was released as a single only. The singer did a poor imitation of Bruce and flubbed several lines - singing "baby you're mine" instead of the correct "baby you're wrong" and "light gowns of real lace" instead of "night gowns of regal lace." The string arrangement was truly awful and one of the background singers sounded like a chipmunk. The group's cover really deserves to be forgotten. I shouldn't have even mentioned it. Sorry.
i listen to ten @ ten all the time on kfog in san francisco where they play ten great songs from one great year, but somehow this song escaped my notice until last week. love it, sounds like a cross between kenny rogers and the association, and my apologies to the associtaion for the association.
I always liked that song, as well as another one that was a semi hit. I was in Worcester, Mass. at the time in the middle sixties. I know that area well and knew of them at the time. I used to go to a head shop near that area on pleasant st. so long ago.
Orpheus was one of the greatest groups to come out of New England at any time. One afternoon while walking between classes at UMASS - Amherst we heard Can't Find The Time playing and we thought it was someone blasting their stereo. When we got to the Student Union there they were, playing an impromptu set - for free. We stayed and lsitened for close to an hour. One of THE greatest songs and groups I have ever heard.
i was first turned on to orpheus by my dad while i was still in high school (graduated 1998). i grew up in a house of music lovers esp. rock & roll...but my dad put this on the turn table & WOW! my parents are originally from the boston area & i ended up going to UMASS-Amherst for college...reading your comment made me REALLY jealous!! i can't even imagine walking to the student union & hearing them live!! boy was i born in the wrong decade!!!!
I don't understand why such a gifted artist. who has accurately been described as being "a guitarist that puts Steven Stills in his place with a voice that rivals Sinatra", hasn't released any music in 35 years. Bruce Arnold is a brilliant songwriter, muscian and singer. What a gift it would be to all of us if he ever did record again!
"Can't Find The Time" was a smash in New England in 1968 (and made it to #15 on WMCA in New York) but did nothing nationally, peaking at #111 pop. The song then came back in the late summer of 1969 as a "secret weapon" on some top 40 stations, this time making it to #80 nationally. The song was a hit almost everywhere it was played, but got horrible promotion. You can find the song on the Dick Bartley collection from Varese Sarabande, "Collectors' Essentials: On The Radio, Volume Four".
Bruce Arnold, Jack McKennes, Eric Gulliksen, Stephen Martin and Elliot Sherman were all from Worcester, Mass. The band's 1968 hit single "Congress Alley" was based on a real Haight Ashbury-type location in Worcester. Disillusioned with the bogus counter culture scene, Arnold relocated to Barre in 1969 and much of the group followed him. - Mojo Magazine
"Lesley's World" was left off of 1995's "The Best of Orpheus" on Big Beat Records. I understand this was because it was written by Lesley Miller, ex-wife of Alan Lorber, the man who owns the rights to the band's music. The song was included on "The Complete Orpheus" 2CD compilation from Akarma Records in 2001.
A tune with some staying power. It's played in my head off and on for almost 40 years but I don't think I've actually heard it since it was in the Top Forty. I'm a sometimes oldies listener, but I don't believe any of the oldies stations in the DC area over the years have had it on their way-too-limited playlists.
I went looking for this song thinking it would be all over the place as it was such a catchy tune in the movie Me, Myself and Irene with Jim Carrey. Hootie and the Blowfish weren't the first, which I just learned :D
Silly watching them lip sync! Still, when I was a "tween" back then, this was the ULTIMATE "dreaming about your latest crush" song. YOW! Talk about melting!
A word of advice..If u like this song..Get the Record or cd and also while ya there get Acending..another great record from orpheus..I have then in my vinyl collection and bust em out once in awhile.
This song is great! It still sounds great nearly 40 years later! I wonder if anyone remember the remake of this song performed by a group called Rose Colored Glass?
The first time I ever heard this song is in 2002. What's amazing is this song came out well before 1973 (the year I was born). Thanks for bringing this up. It brings good times back to my life.
Brad Delp is a huge fan of Arnold's music. As a teenager, he never missed an opportunity to see Orpheus and studied Arnold's distinctive vocal style and group harmony arrangements. The two met in the early 80's while Brad was recording for Boston and became good friends. Brad even sang backup for Arnold when he performed at the BMA's in '88. They later recorded together at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Bruce recently reunited with Brad and former members of Orpheus for a new album.
I love Orpheus. Saw a video of them back in the late 60s / early 70s (can't remember) singing "Brown Arms in Houston", which is one of my all-time favorite songs. Thanks!
There are three Orpheus compilations available on CD (all of which contain CFTT). "The Best of Orpheus" on Big Beat, "The Very Best of Orpheus" on Varese Sarabande and "The Complete Orpheus" on Akarma Records. All four Orpheus albums are also availabe on iTunes, Napster, eMusic and Rhapsody.
I bought two copies of "The Best of Orpheus"in the event if one was damaged ,I would be sure to have another copy!I have both copies which I keep in pristine condition.
I love this song. Very melodic and the lyrics are sweet too. Very evocative of a wonderful era!

Do you also have their other hit single? I think it's called "Never Knew a Love Like This".
Kate02007 3 years ago
Yes. The song was called "I've Never Seen Love Like This". It was the second single off of Orpheus' 1968 debut album. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel to see the video for it.

Late at night in western Ohio I could pull in
Boston's WBZ radio station and Juicy Brucey
Bradley turned me on to Orpheus. Still play
their first three LPs on vinyl. Their vocal
blend rivals the Beach Boys, the Hollies or any other great 60's band you can name.

A few years ago there was an Orpheus anthology that had featured a mix of Can't Find The Time To Tell You with the acoustic guitars and vocals (no bass, electric guitar, drums and orchestra). It sounded incredible and too bad the group had to lip-synch this TV appearance because if they were allowed to sing it "unplugged" it would've been awesome to hear. BTW - I agree that MGM dropped the ball on promoting them becuase they recorded some great albums.

What a tragedy MGM didn't do a better job promoting this wonderful song. Bruce Arnold's voice is amazing and the harmonies are great too. Few people know that Arnold and backup singer Jack McKennes were the only band members to play instruments on this track. Drums and bass were actually the great team of Bernard "Pretty" Purdie and Joe Macho Jr. Watch the band's moronic stage drummer try to mime Purdie's drum fills. The idiot doesn't even know how to hold his sticks!

I thought Steve Martin was the Singer??..or was he the 5th Orpheum?
cdrstone123 4 years ago
Steve Martin was a songwriter and friend of Orpheus leader, Bruce Arnold. Bruce rearranged some of Martin's songs and included them on the group's first two albums. Martin had nothing to do with CFTT and was not hired into the group until 1971. Despite protests from the band's label, producer and fans, Arnold insisted that Martin take the lead vocals on several tracks for the band's 4th album. The result was a record, which sounds nothing like the band's previous LP's.
orpheusreborn 4 years ago
Don't remember the group that remade it in 1971 but that version was terrible.
MIKECNW 4 years ago
The 1971 version was by a group called Rose Colored Glass. It was released as a single only. The singer did a poor imitation of Bruce and flubbed several lines - singing "baby you're mine" instead of the correct "baby you're wrong" and "light gowns of real lace" instead of "night gowns of regal lace." The string arrangement was truly awful and one of the background singers sounded like a chipmunk. The group's cover really deserves to be forgotten. I shouldn't have even mentioned it. Sorry.

Orpheus was one of the greatest groups to come out of New England at any time. One afternoon while walking between classes at UMASS - Amherst we heard Can't Find The Time playing and we thought it was someone blasting their stereo. When we got to the Student Union there they were, playing an impromptu set - for free. We stayed and lsitened for close to an hour. One of THE greatest songs and groups I have ever heard.

i was first turned on to orpheus by my dad while i was still in high school (graduated 1998). i grew up in a house of music lovers esp. rock & roll...but my dad put this on the turn table & WOW! my parents are originally from the boston area & i ended up going to UMASS-Amherst for college...reading your comment made me REALLY jealous!! i can't even imagine walking to the student union & hearing them live!! boy was i born in the wrong decade!!!!

I don't understand why such a gifted artist. who has accurately been described as being "a guitarist that puts Steven Stills in his place with a voice that rivals Sinatra", hasn't released any music in 35 years. Bruce Arnold is a brilliant songwriter, muscian and singer. What a gift it would be to all of us if he ever did record again!
Ridgeval29 4 years ago 2
"Can't Find The Time" was a smash in New England in 1968 (and made it to #15 on WMCA in New York) but did nothing nationally, peaking at #111 pop. The song then came back in the late summer of 1969 as a "secret weapon" on some top 40 stations, this time making it to #80 nationally. The song was a hit almost everywhere it was played, but got horrible promotion. You can find the song on the Dick Bartley collection from Varese Sarabande, "Collectors' Essentials: On The Radio, Volume Four".

The band is not from Worcester Mass, There from Barre, Mass
stevez11 4 years ago
Bruce Arnold, Jack McKennes, Eric Gulliksen, Stephen Martin and Elliot Sherman were all from Worcester, Mass. The band's 1968 hit single "Congress Alley" was based on a real Haight Ashbury-type location in Worcester. Disillusioned with the bogus counter culture scene, Arnold relocated to Barre in 1969 and much of the group followed him. - Mojo Magazine

My favorite from them is "Lesley's World"...unfortunately it's not on their Greatest Hits cd!
artlongjr 4 years ago
"Lesley's World" was left off of 1995's "The Best of Orpheus" on Big Beat Records. I understand this was because it was written by Lesley Miller, ex-wife of Alan Lorber, the man who owns the rights to the band's music. The song was included on "The Complete Orpheus" 2CD compilation from Akarma Records in 2001.

A tune with some staying power. It's played in my head off and on for almost 40 years but I don't think I've actually heard it since it was in the Top Forty. I'm a sometimes oldies listener, but I don't believe any of the oldies stations in the DC area over the years have had it on their way-too-limited playlists.

Brad Delp is a huge fan of Arnold's music. As a teenager, he never missed an opportunity to see Orpheus and studied Arnold's distinctive vocal style and group harmony arrangements. The two met in the early 80's while Brad was recording for Boston and became good friends. Brad even sang backup for Arnold when he performed at the BMA's in '88. They later recorded together at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Bruce recently reunited with Brad and former members of Orpheus for a new album.
