"Time For Livin'"
(Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
From the composers of "Never My Love", this is the Addrisi Brothers at
their fun lovin' best. This song debuted on "Top Of The Pops" when the
group was in London. Unique vocal arrangement drops one half-tone on
each repeat of the fade.
