WILDFLOWER is a classic...anyone can easily rerlate to its lyrics and melody... makes one think of life's realities...wish song these days are as meaningfully written and sung...oh the 70's is marked by best songs and singers...
@Sapphirekatgirl2 Thats sooo true. Donny is so awesome. Every other version from any other artist is an insult to the song. Wonder whats become of him ?
You will never know how thankful I am that you posted this video - this is the song that was once dedicated to me by someone who knew everything about me without being told in a single word - everything that is relayed in this song. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
I love this song reminds me in my early 20's who fall in love to somebody, later found out that he's not belong to me. It sad but I have to accept the reality. I missed him so much until now am in my middle life. See you in heaven!
I ws 17 years old and working as a doorman in a Yonge St Toronto striop joint, when I was asked by the live band if I wanted to Jam. I jumped up on the stage and did this song with them. That was my first time on a professional stage, and the first song I ever did. It convinced me to compete in a number of ameteur shows, and led ultimately to a 35 year career in the music business. God bless Skylark for a product that was that influencing.
Well look what's missing: No Auto tuning , no synthesizers, no fancy studio gimmicks, just pure talent. Take note you current top 40 bimbos: you don't qualify to cling to the bottom of this group's shoes.
@bleedinblues1 awww so sorry to hear that it is a good-bad song for ya.. i was married to my deceased husband when i first heard this.. baby-- life has a way with things.. we have to go thru everyday like it were our last.. ??? always here if ya wanna talk.. send me a message on yahoo IM.. debbieharvey19@yahoo.com.. let me know it is you and I will add ya..
That rendition and also,Gladys Knights rendition of The Way We Were,I feel both songs were better than the original.Also,I love Kim Wilde's version"If I can't have you"by Yvonne Eliman much better than the original.Kim Wilde has more pizazz and more of a sexier voice than Yvonne.Don't get me wrong,Yvonne is a good singer.I just liked Kim's version because,she had the disco version and the rock version,that she both did a rendition of.Both of these sounded great.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion but for the most part,the original version of this I feel is the best.I've heard a couple of other versions and they can't top the Skylark original version.The renditions don't have the same sound or rhthym that the lead vocalist of Skylark had. The only exceptions I've heard or that come close to topping the original song,is like the version of Stop,Look and Listen by the Stylistics,which was done and renditioned by Michael McDonald with Toni Braxton.
Ma' RIP loved this song & I could've sung it for you when it was new, but only now do I understand the lyrics havin' perceived far too many domestic violence cases. too many close to me have been victimized. it has become hard to listen without cryin' or wantin' to take some of those MMA moves & puttin' a spousal abuser into the hurt locker. I miss my idealism, innocence & naïveté I put onto the altar of sacrifice.
I dedicate this to all those out there that survived a hostile home environment.
This is one of those unique songs, that you can remember "exactly where you were", "what you doing".
I believe it was 1972 or 1973, my dad had to go to Birmingham,AL to get TV parts and while he was inside the store, I was sitting in car and this song come of the radio, that was almost 40 year ago and I can still remember the first time I heard "WILDFLOWER" what song, what memories.
This is a true classic, and so many people, including myself, can relate to it. I was abused at many levels as a child, and it speaks to my fragile side, yet points out the strength it takes to be a survivor. It's always been hauntingly beautiful, to me.
It is too bad that so few people ever enjoy this beautifully crafted, and performed song! The beginnings of the so called "Power Ballad"! It is simply a great song. And check this out, they were able to bring it for live T.V..! Haha let see "place the name of one of today's so-called, STARS here!" try this one!
Up until now I had only heard the Color Me Badd cover and I thought it was beautiful. But this band is way more awesome! Love it, and thanks for sharing.
@tommieparch No kidding. A pregnant White girl singing on stage between to Black dudes back in 1973 was a risky thing for any promoter to take on. Featuring them on Midnight Special took some guts, even though the race riots of the 1960's took place in America, but not in Canada, where the group originated from.
from the day I heard this song back in the 70's I knew it would be the song heard at my funeral and I actually have it listed as so in my will, it described me then & now.
We can turn back the time to great music any time we want. It's all here and it is better than ever. How can someone dislike this? I cannot understand . . . hold on just one second, varmint, . . . I know eggzactly why they don't dig it . . .
They got no soul . . . Can't have any . . . Just tottering soulless zombies . . . with no rhythm.
What a great era. We always the best rock and the best ballads like this . I am so glad to come across this ....so sentimental and soothing. The times of womens lib, protesting, war, and peace. Working hard to make life better. Too many today sit and do nothing ...are they waiting on ''us'' to do it again for them? Get off that ass and the internet and go make a statement. Not with the pants half off that rear end.
i don't know until when will i live,this is my song,i have operation on my brain,then yet until now im not sure about my condition,what so over if i die,this song will always be my song..........im jaz lyk that WILD FLOWER..............
They don't make them like this any more!! This song always reminded me of my mom back in the day. It was almost the lyrics for her life. I read the lyrics at her funeral, almost didn't get through them, everyone was in tears who knew her. I love u mom, miss u so very, very much!
The song was originally done by Skylark and remade by New Birth and the O'jays.I remember when the song first came out. A beautiful song. Brings back memories of plying basketball at the playground in Youngstown with two guys from New Birth before a show at Reed's Arena. I was a 10th grader. this is a beautiful song. Now days people's taste regarding music is strange. How could anyone not like the song? Oh well.
@curtisjones400 Same here..When this came out I did not like it either until New birth remade it! Cute guys would ask me to dance at parties.. I would turn them down because of this song. Funny how you remember things from way back ..73! Aww good ole days! Beautiful song!
Donny Gerrard bacame a born again bisexual while living in Winnipeg with Randy Bachman years ago and eventualy had a sex change operation and is now Bachmans happy bride .
This brings back some great memories. Too bad that Midnight Special only showed a brief glimpse of keyboard player, David Foster, the mastermind behind Skylark. Great video - thanx 4 posting. Check out their lost single, "If That's The Way You Want It" on my channel. It's the only place on YouTube you'll find it.
I thought that this song was originally sung by New Birth. Learn something new everyday. I like this, but the New Birth version--the background vocals--they killed it!

This brings back some great memories. Too bad that Midnight Special only showed a brief glimpse of keyboard player, David Foster, the mastermind behind Skylark. Great video - thanx 4 posting. Check out their lost single, "If That's The Way You Want It" on my channel. It's the only place on YouTube you'll find it.

I thought that this song was originally sung by New Birth. Learn something new everyday. I like this, but the New Birth version--the background vocals--they killed it!
I mean killed it in the best way.

@Mssassysabrina I totally agree with you.. New Birth vocals killed this song (in a good way) just awesome...
I like Skylark as well... Peace...

group. Champaign... ( Check out their Video)
