TIME IS ON MY SIDE (The Moody Blues)
“Time Is on My Side” is a song written by Jerry Ragovoy (under the pseudonym of Norman Meade). “Time Is on My Side” has been covered by artists such as The Moody Blues (in 1965 and on the 1985 rerelease of The Magnificent Moodies). (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. You can certainly be forgiven if you don’t think of them as a British Invasion band. “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).
