In 1972 in Victoria, B.C. Canada, a rookie policeman wrote a poem for his girlfriend, who was a nurse, while driving home in his police car. Dave "the Cop" Richardson gave the poem to his friend David Foster, an aspiring young musician looking for material for his new band, Skylark. Foster passed it along to Skylark guitarist Doug Edwards who set it to music. It was the first song Edwards had ever composed. Released in 1972, "Wildflower" is one of the most performed songs in the history of Canadian popular music. For over 50 years, it has been covered and sampled, played at weddings, funerals and even been used on TikTok. It is the song that launched David Foster's career. Do you know this interesting backstory of this Canadian "one hit wonder"?
