"Can't Find the Time" is a song originally recorded by Orpheus in October 1967, and released December 1967. It was the first release from their eponymous debut LP. The writer and lead singer is Bruce Arnold. Session drummer Bernard Purdie, who would later befriend Arnold and collaborate further, is among the musicians on the recording.
Originally released in early 1968, the song charted very minorly in the U.S., but reaching #15 on WMCA in New York City. The single was re-released in late 1969, with somewhat better success. It reached #80 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #72 Cash Box.[1] It was more popular in Canada, where it reached #63.[2]
Dallas pop rock quartet Rose Colored Glass covered "Can't Find the Time" in 1971. It was a non-album single.[3] Their version charted only in the U.S., but considerably higher than the prior releases, reaching #54.[4] The song also reached #30 on the U.S. Easy Listening chart.[5]
