"Turn Back the Hands of Time" is a song recorded by the American R&B singer Tyrone Davis. It was co-written by Jack Daniels and Johnny Moore a.k.a. John Edward Moore (credited to Moore’s girlfriend at the time, Bonnie Thompson) and produced by Willie Henderson.
"Turn Back the Hands of Time" was released as a single in February 1970 and became Davis's second major hit, spending two weeks at number one on Billboard's R&B Singles chart and reaching number three on its Pop chart. The single was also certified gold by the RIAA for sales of one million copies. "Turn Back the Hands of Time" is from the album of the same name that MTV says "ranks among the best soul LP's of its time". Bruce Springsteen covered the song in his 2022 studio album, Only the Strong Survive.




Background


Daniels and Moore wrote "Turn Back the Hands of Time" based on relationship problems Moore was having at the time. Daniels had co-written Davis's 1968 hit "Can I Change My Mind" and the recording session for "Turn Back the Hands of Time" included some of the same musicians from that session.
