Customer Reviews Love Grows It used to be one of my favorites in sixth grade. I bought this CD for the song LOVE GROWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES. I remember when my mom took me on the bus across town to get new glasses and she took me to a grill next the the University of Toledo. She had given me a dime to play this song on the jukebox there. I guess the birds and the bees were more naive and innocent then. Holding a girl's hand in junior high seemed to be a big deal. Now they have oral sex at 13! Except for LOVE GROWS alot of that music is Muzak. I played this disc a few times on my player and then put it away. But it is a tribute to [. . . ] that they carry such obscure music and movies. This may be superfluous, but this kind of Bubble Gum pop music did remind me of how I saw girls in grade school-pretentioulsy sophistacted and pretty. Like they never smell bad. But when I married my former wife at 18, she did demystify women for me-just like how Joe Dimaggio was reported to have had to tell Marilyn Monroe to flush the toilet after she had a bowel movement. This is kind of revealing about the mystery of woman in the 60-s'you know, they're "sugar and spice and everything nice!" Now I feel that women combine feminism with sexual manipulation! . Edison Lighthouse (Tony Burrows) LOVE GROWS/IT'S UP TO YOU PETULA. WELL IT TOOK AWHILE,BUT I FINALLY HAVE A COPY OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE BUBBLE GUM HITS HERE. I HAVE LISTENED TO THESE SONGS VIA VINYL FOR AGES. I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE VOCALS OF EDISON LIGHTHOUSE. AND THIS BEST OF IMPORT IS A DYNAMIC COLLECTION FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE AND WANT A QUICK RETURN INTO THE CHEWY CHEWY BUBBLE GUM YEARS. BAZOOKA HAS NOTHING ON THIS BABY (LOL). TONY BURROWS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOME OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CLASSICS THAT WILL LIVE ON AND ON. One Hit Wonders, And Thank God For That It's sugary sweet pop but it still rocks; a blend I find spine-tingling. "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" is one of my all-time favorite pop singles, an absolute masterpiece of that early-70s genre that allowed the Archies to have hit singles, the Jackson Five to have a Saturday morning cartoon show, and opened the way for the Bay City Rollers and the Partridge Family. So. . . why didn't Edison Lighthouse have any other hits? Judging by this "Best of" collection, it's because they were a terrible, terrible band. Songs like "She Works In A Woman's Way," What's Happening," and "Find Mr. Zebedee" give pretension a new lease on life. A couple of things here, most notably "Take A Little Time," sure sound like they were recorded for some Saturday morning cartoon. But, in the end, they're all totally forgettable. .
