Jefferson - Love Grows ( Where my Rosemary Goes )

Jefferson`s original version of the Edison Lighthouse hit which was recorded before their hit version but didnt get released or in fact see the light of day until 30 years later. Had it been released first it would no doubt have been a massive Worldwide hit as it is identical to Edison Lighthouse`s subsequent hit version.

Wow, didn't know this group did this song. I only knew the Edison Lighthouse version which I have on 45. My hubby has some records of this group. Edison Lighthouse did their Baby Take Me In Your Arms. My hubby has that one on cd plus the 45 of it by Jefferson. I remember Jefferson had out a song with lyrics something about "You Do Believe In Love, You Do Believe in Happiness". I haven't heard it in yrs tho...

Jefferson was in fact one man , namely Geoff Turton. Geoff was the lead singer of the

British band The Rockin` Berries who had a string of hits in the UK in the early to mid Sixties. He then left the band to pursue a solo career but many years later rejoined the band .

Edison Lighthouse and Jefferson shared the same songwriter and producer namely Tony Macaulay .

@Keach47 Yeah, I hear you. They're very similar but I think the vocals are a little rougher on this version. Also I think we're used to the Edison Lighthouse version and that's probably biased me towards that one. But this is very cool as well.

It's just as good as Edison Lighthouse version, but in a different way? Does that make sense? I still like it, but I prefer Edison Lighthouse version, because that's the one I remember as a kid. Thanks for posting!

@mrgrober Jefferson (real name Geoff Turton) was with UK band The Rockin' Berries and it's him singing lead on their "He's In Town" hit.

I believe this is the version Tony Macaulay didn't like, so he offered it to Tony Burrows to sing instead, who recorded it under the name Edison Lighthouse. i believe Tony can be heard on this version singing background with Sue & Sunny of Brotherhood of Man (Tony sang with Sunny on "United We Stand") as the background vocals were already recorded after Tony Macaulay offered it to Burrows.
