Bruce Arnold and his band Orpheus perform their hit single "Can't Find The Time" in late 1969. This lip-synced performance was shot for a television show, which aired in the New England area only weeks after MGM re-released the original single. This was nearly two years after it's first issue.

This second release actually charted higher (Billboard #80). Unfortunately MGM still managed to fumble the promotion and took months to distribute the re-issued single to radio stations. Records show that although "Can't Find The Time" was in heavy rotation on the East Coast and spent weeks on the Top 10 playlists of many radio stations across the country, stations in the Midwest and West Coast did not receive the single in time for their airplays to be added to Billboard's national chart tabulations.

As with the original release in January of '68, the inept promotion department at MGM again mistimed the single's impact and any momentum Orpheus could have gathered from the re-issued single was lost. Several months later, Bruce Arnold disbanded the original Orpheus and hired a new group of musicians which included the legendary drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Purdie was no stranger to Arnold's music as he was, in fact, the uncredited player on Orpheus' debut album as well as all of their subsequent singles.

Written and arranged by Orpheus frontman, Bruce Arnold, "Can't Find The Time" (a.k.a. "Can't Find The Time To Tell You") is now widely recognized as a timeless classic. Over the last fifty years, it has appeared on countless compilations as well as being featured in both film and television including the 2022 Peter Farrelly film, "The Greatest Beer Run Ever" starring Zac Efron, Russell Crowe and Bill Murray.

"Can't Find The Time" has also been covered by dozens of artists including Rose Colored Glass, The Capris, The Explorers Club and Hootie & The Blowfish. Hootie's version appears in the Farelly Brothers film, "Me, Myself & Irene" starring Jim Carrey and Renée Zellweger.

Digital downloads of Orpheus music are being offered by Iris Music Group (IMG). The mixes on these releases do not match the original LP's and in many cases, a digital echo effect has been added. Furthermore, IMG has deliberately changed the artist's names in an apparent attempt to circumvent royalties. Orpheus does not endorse or recommend these dishonest and sonically substandard releases.
