  • When  I was over in Thailand in '72 we had an airstrip located at Nam Phong, which was about 30 or so miles SSE of Udon Thani. We called the place The Rose Garden. Ms Anderson thereatened to sue us over the use of the name. She was against the war in Viet Nam. I was an Air Traffic Controller in the Marines. Never knew just how she found out that we had nicknamed our field after her song.

  • You can grab the audio-mp3 of this clip at grabaudionow doht cohm.

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • Although Lynn made it famous, "Rose Garden" was first recorded by it's writer, Joe South in 1968 3 years before Lynn , another, more soulful/R&B version,by Dobie Gray, a year later in '69 also predated Lynn's version. Lynn did make the song her own, however,by singing in a softer, more sweetly fashion, and slowing down the tempo a little bit, Joe South's original version is a much faster and rockier song.

    Check out the two earlier versions by Joe and Dobie, they're here on You Tube as well

  • Nope. Not the original. Guitar is wrong, and no signature choo-choo train "lockup" at "...smile for a while..."

  • @wrs840 it stinks/

  • this version is not as good as the original remakes suck

  • this dont sound like it.
