History
Road was formed in 1970, after Redding left Fat Mattress and Richards left Rare Earth. The band recorded their self-titled album at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, California in 1972, the album was released later in the year before the group disbanded. In the brief time they were together, Redding and Sampson participated in the jam sessions that resulted in Randy California's 1972 Kapt. Kopter and the (Fabulous) Twirly Birds album. Following Road, Redding and Sampson formed The Noel Redding Band, while Richards went on to a solo career. Sampson also joined Stray Dog, played in The Gas in the early 80s and Sally Barker And The Rhythm and The Pirates in the 90s.

Who Needs A Heart
by: Ringo StarrBy Vini Poncia and Richard Starkey
WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO?
WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?
WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?
YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?
YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME?
WHY WERE THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN?
WHY WASTE THE TIME WHEN WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE?
THE TIES THAT BIND ARE ALMOST BROKEN.
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?

YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE STILL OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.
