I would be wishing today on a four leaf clover

Thursday music corner: Tyrone Davis (1937-2005), later dubbed 'the king of romantic Chicago soul', was born in Mississippi and moved to Chicago in his early twenties. After joining the soul stable of successful Chicago soul producer Carl Davis in 1968 he attained immediate success with his first release, although rather than the A-side A Woman Needs To Be Loved, it was the B-side Can I Change My Mind that became a million-selling hit. Throughout his five-decade career 14 of Davis' albums reached the R&B top 40, and 35 of his singles hit the R&B top 40. He also achieved cross-over success on the national stage, with five US top 40 pop chart hits.

Turn Back The Hands of Time was Davis' third single, and it appeared on the 1970 album of the same name. Written by Jack Daniels and Johnny Moore, the single was his biggest hit, topping the R&B charts and reaching number 3 on the US pop charts. The album also reached number 9 on the R&B album charts.
