longest time before 'title kicks in'-what is it?

Recommended Posts

I was playing stuff today, and pulled Bettye Swann 'Kiss my love...'. Noticed (once i put the clock on it) it's 1min 40sec (out of approx 3 min 17 sec) before the title 'Kiss...kicks in'. Made me think,there must be others out there-and probably one that beats this easily. 

Sorry if this has hit the threads before. If not, any thoughts?

its a side long isn't it? when does he kick in with the title, could be the main contender

19 minutes long  like a lot of his album tracks, so it could be by the time l get to Phoenix another contender

I always thought this was actually miss-labled! 

I'd also love to know at what point exactly Lend A hand is mentioned in the Bobby Hutton classic.

Yeah. I was always thought that. But if you listen carefully,the bvs go 'lend a hand' before the '..to this lonely man..' lines and many other of the lines in the song. Also various other asides, low in the mix. I think they mixed it a bit wrong.

I can just about pick out one or two 'mumbles' that could be lend a hand or something like that by the backing singers. If anybody can hear more, and clearly, I'm jealous!

Must be the worst choice of title from all the words mentioned, and its an ABC production!. One thing for sure if it was 'booted' it would not be titled 'lend a hand'

that 'this lonely man' always sounded like 'northern line'  to me

of course I knew that it wasn't an song in homage to that particular  london underground line but as never gave it that much more attention (and quite liked the idea of him singing about such) I never knew for sure what  the actual proper words were till  reading now...

so a thanks for that:thumbsup:

Lend a hand to this lonely man...first line isn't it?

No. The first line is 'Way- hey!' Shades of Eric Morecambe as I think it said on the back of a Kent LP back in the day. :-)

It's a call and response song isn't it? Hutton responds to the lines sung by the backing vocalists. Quite unusual. It was off an LP right? I don't suppose whoever mixed it ever thought it would be heard of again, let alone that we would still be discussing it 45 years or so later and just did a bit of a rushed job before heading off down the pub...
