Subject: The Song Wildflower
Written By: imhowold? on 01/23/06 at 10:27 pm
I Love, Love, Love the song Wildflower....but I don't really know who sings it.
I had forgotten about for a while, but heard it again on the radio a few months back *& since then have had lots of people tell me lots of different things. I googled it & got lots of different answers.
I've heard it was Skylark :)
I've heard it was The O'Jays :)
I've even heard it was Johnny Mathis (I'm sure it is not his version I like so much) ;D
I am guessing it is The O'Jays version that I love, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have any ideas who sings the version of Wildflower that gets alll the radio play?

The Cult did a song called Wild Flower in 1987 ;D
It was Skylark (in 1973) which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Charts :)
There was also a Wildflower by a group called "The New Birth" in 1974 that was also a hit :)

The biggest hit version was by Skylark, and a wonderful version at that!
The O'Jays did a fantastic cover of the song, later - never a "hit", though.
I don't remember any other versions, but wouldn't be surprised if there were others... ::)
