Frankie Laine - "Talk To Me About The Hard Times"

Here is another song that not many people ever heard. Recorded in 1976 on a small record label "Mainstream". The recording was to long for radio play(allmost 5 Minutes) and the distribution of the recording was dismal. You may like or dislike it but Frankie was proud of it.

Please, please, PLEASE post the 2nd part soon!

[markalson1938]

Because you asked, I'm working on the 2d part right now.

[markalson1938]

i THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW i JUST POSTED THE 2D PART TO

"HARD TIMES" ON TO YOUTUBE.

[markalson1938]

It's 9mins 11 Seconds if you play both sides of the 45. This was made from the orginal 45 but only used the part 1 as this is to much of a depressing song to go on for almost 10 min.

You are so right about the times ahead. Our Political leaders have gotten us into this mess going back about fifty years and now they think we should trust them to get us out of the mess they made.

Jack Lawrence wrote the song. He also wrote the flip side which is called "Talk To Me About The Hard Times Part 2" I'll post it sometime soon. He also wrote the words to such

hits as "Yes, My Darling Daughter" , "If I Didn't Care" ," All Or Nothing At All", "Tenderly" , "Hold My Hand" and many more.

yeah, i like it as well, take a couple of plays to really get into it, could be quite apt for the coming times ahead

I like it. It reminds us that there are many elements conspiring to create a hit, some of which have nothing to do with quality. Do you know who wrote it? Thanks again!
