"Time and Tide" was released in 1987 by Basia Trzetrzelewska, known only as Basia. That's a good thing because I couldn't even begin to pronounce that last name.
I'd say this was my favorite song in the fall of '87. I remember it well. I bought the cassette, and was terribly disappointed that the rest of her music didn't have the same feel as this song.
When I happened to think of it today, I even remembered all the words to the song, though it's been eons since I've heard it. I've never seen it compiled in playlists of one-hit wonders, but I'm guessing it was her only hit in the US, anyway.
It was one of those obscure songs that either you loved or hated. I happened to love it.
I actually stumbled on her stuff on one of the torrent sites a few weeks back. Something got me to thinking about her and Swing Out Sister("Break Out" was their hit). If I remember correctly, she had an album released recently.
