Masayo Yoshida -- Time's on Your Side

 

I could've easily put the 1975 cover as the usual thumbnail at the top there considering how this particular song sounds. But actually the album where this tune originated was released in January 1985

What Yours Truly is writing about is Masayo Yoshida's(吉田麻沙世)perhaps one-and-only album "After That" and the song of note is "Time's on Your Side". Yoshida was the writer and composer for this pretty relaxing tune which actually comes across as more 1970s City Pop due to that languid keyboard and that certain rhythm arrangement belying its mid-1980s release. Even the guitar solo in the middle sounds like something from the disco era. I've yet to listen to the rest of "After That" but I would be interested in finding out some more about this little known singer-songwriter.
