NORMAN MEADE
Jordan “Jerry” Ragovoy (September 4, 1930 – July 13, 2011) was an American songwriter and record producer. His best-known composition “Time Is on My Side” (written under the pseudonym of Norman Meade) was made famous by the Rolling Stones, although it had been recorded earlier by Kai Winding and Irma Thomas. Ragovoy also wrote “Stay With Me”, which was originally recorded by Lorraine Ellison, and was performed by Mary J. Blige at the 49th Grammy Awards. (More from Wikipedia)
That’s what it says: The Magnificent Moodies. This record was released in 1965 and was the first album by the Moody Blues. Like many of the British Invasion bands, they started out as a crackerjack rhythm and blues band, and the U. S. release of the album has a different cover and some variation in the songs. “Time Is on My Side” is included on most of the CD reissues as a bonus track; the song is best known from the Rolling Stones version of “Time Is on My Side”, their first Top Ten hit in the US (the song was written by Norman Meade).
