BackgroundThe song is the English translation of "Je n’Aurai Pas le Temps", a French ballad, recorded by Michel Fugain in 1967. Peter Gormley who had signed Rowles to MCA, got in Mike Leander to handle the arrangements for the song.[1] As reported in the July 6, 1968 issue of Billboard, the single was at that time #2 in Belgium, #27 in Britain, #5 in Holland, and #5 in New Zealand.[2] It would eventually peak at #1 in Rhodesia, #3 in the UK, #2 in New Zealand, #2 in Belgium #2 in the Netherlands, #15 in Germany, and #17 in Austria. In the Australian cities it did well, registering at #5 in Sydney, #14 in Melbourne, #3 in Brisbane, #6 in Adelaide and #7 in Perth.[3] The song would be re-released in 1988 on the Old Gold label. It was backed with "Hush Not A Word To Mary".[4] References1. ^Audio Culture, 4 Jun 2013 - [https://www.audioculture.co.nz/people/john-rowles John Rowles Profile] 2. ^Billboard July 6, 1968 - [https://books.google.com/books?id=xwoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59&dq=John+Rowles%22If+I+Only+Had+Time%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi9x93rrrvXAhXGfbwKHV7YBVsQ6AEINDAC#v=onepage&q=John%20Rowles%22If%20I%20Only%20Had%20Time%22&f=false Page 59 Billboard Hits of the World] 3. ^Pop Archives - JOHN ROWLES, If I Only Had Time 4. ^45Cat - John Rowles - Discography, UK 5 : John Rowles songs|1968 singles|1968 songs|MCA Records singles|Songs written by Pierre Delanoë |
