- From the RadioWest.ca collection of Can-Con 45s, Winnipeg's Terry Crawford and her 1983 recording of fellow Winnipeger Gary O'Connor's "One Time For Old Times". .38 Special also recorded this song, both versions got airplay on Canadian radio.
One of the best Canadian pop hits of the 80s. If anyone needs proof as to how narrow minded many music directors are on Canadian radio, the fact that this song was allow to be forgotten shows the lack of interest in promoting great Canadian music beyond the same dozen artists that get way too much air time now.
I hope the record company can digitize this record and get it played on all the classic hit stations and put Terri in her rightful place among all the other great artists of that time.
Been looking for this (the best version) for years, not even the record stores can find it.
absolutely couldn't agree more !!
my band autographed album is still an often played treasure
I asked a friend who has experience in the radio industry as to why this song doesn’t get any air play. He said it boiled down to numbers. It costs money to remaster the album, in a country with Canada’s small population, that makes it costly enough to not do it but when you may get a small handful of classic hits stations who may pick it up, from a business perspective, it isn’t worth it.
Personally I think Boom 97.3 out of Toronto is by far the best classic hits station in the country and one of the best in Northern America. If this song had a shot at being played, it would be on 97.3FM BOOM. Since with very few exceptions, almost all other classic hits stations in Canada play the same 500 songs and out of that, the same 125 CanCon tracks, asking them for this song and them playing it would be a huge stretch.
If I was thr music director at a classic hits station, I would havr 1 song per hour called The WTF Track. A track that while charted, was forgotten. I would also have a phone / text number just for input on the track. Think of it as using CHR new track breaking techniques applied to classic hits.
I've been looking for this song for YEARS! Appreciate getting the chance to hear a decent copy.
They played my high school in the 80s, man that seems like forever!
Great to hear this after all these years! I still think this is the best version of this song, and it's been absent from the airwaves (and from RUclips) for far too long. I remember that Terry Crawford was dubbed "The Prairie Princess" by a DJ back in 1983! Her voice resonates with longing as she sings these lyrics. She captures the sentiments of this song perfectly!
I too have been searching for Terry's original version. 38 Specials version is a poor attempt at this song.
First time I heard this song I found out I loved KFC. My arteries have been clogging up ever since.
Loved this . Bought the Album was a teenage girl in Grade 11 . Played this song too death !! It’s as fantastic now as it was in 83’ It’s Summer 2024 now!!!❤❤❤😊😊🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
RUclips is the ONLY place that has this excecellent tune. Spotify & Apple does not even have the Album let alone the song!!? They also do not have any of Susan Jacks solo work or Paul Janz pre 1991. All Canadian music artists. Janz recorded like 5 studio albums between 1985 and 1991 not one album or any of the singles are on anywhere but RUclips . Wow it just boggles my mind the stuff I can’t find and I have Spotify!! What’s up with that??
Great version of a great song. I bought this album when it came out way back when. As I recall, she had written a great line for the cover... "Not if, when". It never got the airplay it should have.
She seems to have had a successful career doing Jingles and Voice-Over work, plus children's songs. I guess that's a lot better than looking for that one song, that one big break, while dragging your butt playing every dingy bar from Kapuskasing to Moose Jaw.
Have this album in 2024 !! This is still An awesome song now as it was when I bought the album at age 17 in 1983❤❤😊😊
love this song what a killer voice...gives me chills
Been looking for this also. Thanks for doing this. Keep up the GREAT work! Any chance you have/can get Dressed To Kill by Gilles Goddard?
Saw her in 1986 at the Lamp Cabin in Springhill. She was great! Rocked the joint!
Love this song! Loved the whole album. :) Never heard .38 Special's version.. about to!
Never get tired of this song, much superior than that of 38 Special.
Would you be able to get Pawn In The Game on here? Would love to hear that one too.
Uncle Jimmie on bass
almost 2020 and still listening,
Great memories. Thanks.
Yup, a great song.
Awesome!!!!
I have her albums
Absolutely love this song. She was such an under rated Canadian talent.
It’s a shame this isn’t available on Spotify. Thanks for the upload.
I forgot all about this song until I heard it on the music track at one of those huge Safeways today, and I swear I saw it on the face of anyone 40isk to 60ish in the store as it played, every single one of them in the loose category was singing this song, including me.
It's hard to explain to non-Canadisns how absolutely huge this song was in areas of this country, we still had s fairly big and vibrant musical sector back then with Cancon laws.
I could hardly wait to get to the truck to listen to this again. It doesnt bring back any specific memories, but it makes me remember, and even to feel for a moment or two, what it felt like to just live back then, the still-unshajeabke optimism of youth, ah. I wish I did have an ex-girlfriend linked to these lyrics, haha, but I must have been single or dating someone when it came out.
I remember this was a late night radio mainstay in Regina at least for a lot of years after it hit, but then it's like it just dropped off the face of the Earth as far as rotation. I can't believe I ever forgot it myself, but I have to admit it made the rediscovery a sweet event for sure..
Terry Crawford also recorded a song with the lyrics "I wouldn't want to lose you, you're the best friend I ever had ... " Does anyone else remember it? Anyone got it?
Played over and over in my Chevelle convertible when I was 17! I wish I had my hair back.
I wish I had anyone's hair back! But yeah, what a great car-ride song.
I adore this song!! ❤❤❤
