The "story" of The Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase is the ultimate example of necessity being the mother of invention. This is as grassroots as it gets. This is the ever-evolving, real-life drama of a small group of songwriters and media outsiders who created an opportunity to address one of the simplest, yet most challenging problems facing songwriters and musicians today... How do you make the world know who you are so that your music can be heard?

Jimmy Lloyd performs his original song entitled " Something's Got To Give:" on the NBC TV show The Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase.

SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE - By Jimmy Lloyd


From the corporate office parks
To convenience store parking lots
From the gutters of the ghetto streets
To the sidewalks of this town where you and I meet

Something's got to give
Something's got to give

All those years I tried to escape
That sad split-level landscape
The way out was hard to find on the best of days
I got sidetracked in the deadends and alleyways
I could not see the light for the forest trees
Til I found myself down on my knees

Something had to give
Something had to give

Through the hours that I tried
To console and rectify
A past so broken, so wrong, so torn
Made me feel like I was never born
Made me feel like I didn't belong
That the road ahead was way too long
And I wouldn't make it through to sing my song

Something had to give
Something had to give
Someone had to give
I just had to give
