who here in 2024 this song will never grow old

[@tinadavidson9455]

I've loved it since I first heard it at around age 12 I suppose. That was 48 years ago. Such a classic song!

[@BillBriggs-z8h]

still here. This came out during my third year of university. Dating the first woman I ever really loved. More than 50 years later it's a beautiful song. A one hit wonder for David Foster's band, but an great contribution to the music of the day.

This song always reminds me of my. Mother. Since I was 17, now I'm 61. One Christmas I had it copied into a CD and gave it to hr. Later that night when she heard it, she called and said thank you and said that that was probably the most beautiful heart felt gift ever, and now she knows that I know her. She just died last Friday and I'm hoping to play it at her service

Back when this song came out saw several people sing this song on The Mike Douglas Show, including Wonder Woman ,the stunning Lynda Carter. Also Robert Guillaume , the super funny Benson, RIP. So many performers have sung this song, no one better than this amazing singer.

Let her cry....for she's a Lady....Let dream...for she's a child...Let the rain fall down upon her....she's a FREE and Gentle Flower Growing Wild:) I will always love this song, which inspired me at such a young age in the early 70's to embrace Slow Jams, Love Songs,.....I really enjoy ALL who have brought this classic out....New Birth, Color Me Badd, and even love Blake Shelton's version:) Such a Beautiful Song to me...I am A Free and Gentle Flower Growing Wild!

[@gladlinar5883]

Rest In Peace. Beautiful song

[@MrNathan791]

Wow what a beautiful song. I remember listening to this classic on the radio as a kid in the 70’s. I think about 2 other artists recorded this song in the 70’s, but this, which is original is by far the best. Everything about this live performance was right on the mark. Wonderful lead vocal, perfect harmonies with the background vocals and the musicians were superb. So glad to be able to come here to YT and listen to all the great music from the 60’s-80’s era. No music today come even close to that era of music.

Jack Pea..... I agree brother the Newbirth version is waaaaaay better than this one is ....to me anyway....the guitar work on this is serious though

[@fineknots2354]

I prefer this version better because it's a better interpretation of the sadness behind the words to the song.

[@stilrockn]

Hi.. I was there and can tell you exactly how Wildflower came to be. Dave was madly in love with his beautiful wife, and she was a nurse, when she would come home from a day or sickness and sadness, she would cry and tell him how hard it was and how helpless she felt at times. He wrote this poem for her, to lift her spirits and to let her know how much he appreciated her tireless dedication.. Dave brought the lyrics over to us at a band rehearsal.. and left them on the piano, when we took a break, I picked them up, read them and started bawling, I thought he had written them for, me! Which is why it's a killer song, everyone can relate, everyone takes it personally.. but the person who was really inspired was Doug Edwards, who wrote that incredible melody.. However, the Triple D Trio.. Donny, Doug, and Dave is why that song is timeless, not to mention the brilliant arrangement by David Foster.. Skylark, a one hit wonder, but what a band and what a song!

[@smithwilliamn7090]

I just love the lines "Sleep is the only freedom she knows" and "She's always paying for a debt she never owed". As as a hospice volunteer I often share this with staff. Glad to get the back story here directly from you. Originally I thought it was about something totally different.

I am very proud that Wildflower has had over a million hits, which only proves that a good song is timeless. It's a beautiful song, song by Donny Gerrard and his amazingly distinctive sound, it was perfect.. and then add David Foster to the mix.. Donny is currently on the road with Mavis Staples. Congratulations to all the killer musicians who played with us in Skylark.. you will always be, my boys of summer!

[@nicholasjackson382]

Thank you for commenting BJ! I don't know if you folks realize this, but BJ is an original member of Skylark! What a treat for her to grace us with her presence!

I was born nowhere near the 70's when this song came out. I actually found out about this song from a drama airing this year as "Wildflower." I'm so glad that they're bringing back such good music from the 70's for youth like me to realize.

This piece stopped me in my tracks when I heard it first, it cut through my young soul - it was 1972 and I was 21, I felt so old and yet I knew I should I feel young. Now at 68, my old-young heart is still reaching for the understanding that these lyrics said was out there, somewhere. The lead voice - oh, my!

This Song always brings my Soul to Life within. True Classic.😎🇲🇽

[@allieg.1120]

This is a gem of a song. I loved it in the 70's and still do. It's timeless.

[@stilrockn]

Donny Gerrard continues to be one of my favourite singers.. a true Canadian treasure. Listening to that track, I think it's safe to use the word, timeless. The other wonderful thing about Skylark was that we sounded as good live, and on that record. No gimmicks just a good sound system and some really good players, making really good music! Unlike the Grammicks!

[@smithwilliamn7090]

Great song BJ but I hope you burned that dress :)

[@stilrockn]

Smith WilliamN Really? You don't like that vintage flower print? LOL Yes it's long gone.. however, I know for a fact that Donny Gerrard still has that entire outfit that he's wearing... I'm sure he doesn't wear it while out on the road with Mavis Staples, but it's tucked away in a safe place... LOL

[@brötzmannsax]

As touching a song you will ever hear, anyone who feels it is reminded of someone close to them. My dedication is to my sister, who loved and lived this song in the 70's, I still get goose bumps. BJ Cook, it is certainly wonderful to see you still alive and kicking here with your comments. I read you were pregnant at this moment here, so everyone please stop "picking" on her dress (ha!) Speaking of clothes how about Carl Graves' outfit! BJ your backing vocals were splendid AND you are correct, one hit but still a beauty & timeless, thanks for the memories!

[@smithwilliamn7090]

O.K. flowers for the song versus plaid. Those sleeves are what killed it for me. Looks like B.J. should be the dealer in Kenny Rogers the Gambler. Kind of 1880's saloon dealer look. Still love the vocals and emotion of the song. This is one you know from the start, who sings it as well as where you first heard it. Always puts back in a certain place in time.

[@stilrockn]

Hey Fashion Police. it was 1973, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant, trust me for the time, we were 'cool' .. Of course we all laugh when we look at those pic now.. but hey, we were on the Midnight Special, so who gives a F*ck what we are wearing, we sounded amazing!

This love song is one of those few timeless classics that speaks to our hearts on a much deeper level. We don't hear too often about a relationship in song that shows empathy to a soul who is really hurting and wanting to soothe their suffering. G&R's 'Sweet Child O' Mine' or Hootie's 'Let Her Cry' render these tender feelings about a lover whose life has seen suffering, addiction etc and you're incapable of helping. We should all learn to feel such self sacrificing love for someone. Thank you Skylark.
