"Hard Times" by Wendy Waldman

Through the 70s, Wendy Waldman alternated between folk, pop, and soft rock to release a number of albums that didn't get much attention. Even an endorsement from Rolling Stone in 1973, which named her record the singer/songwriter debut of the year, failed to help. Her lone Top 100 appearance arrived in 1978 when "Long Hot Summer Nights" peaked at #76.

"Hard Times" comes from her 1978 LP, "Strange Company," on of her most consistent and radio-friendly efforts. Since then, Waldman largely focused on writing songs for a wide variety of other artists.
