Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) Cover

- This week’s “Remake of a Classic” was an absolute blast to do. Although the tune was originally recorded by the English singer, Jefferson (a.k.a Geoffrey Turton), the early 1970 release by Edison Lighthouse is the version that most people know. Written by British producers Tony Macaulay and Barry Mason, along with Mason’s wife at the time, Sylvan, “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)” was given to a group of studio musicians led by prolific session singer Tony Burrows. The group’s original name had been Greenfield Hammer, but the recording was credited to Edison Lighthouse. The tune became the first British number one hit of the 70s. Because of the song’s success, Macaulay put together a live touring band, but Burrows declined the opportunity to go on the road. After all, he had five number one hits with five different bands. One of his bands, the Flower Pot Men, included Deep Purple founding members Jon Lord and Nick Simper.
“Love Grows” stayed at number one five weeks and sold 250,000 copies in the UK. It reached the top of the chart in its second week. In the U.S., where the song was released in February 1970, it reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100; selling a million copies by April and earning an RIAA gold disc. In Canada, the song reached number three.
Movie fans may remember the song from the film “Shallow Hal” with Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow.
As far as my cover goes, I pretty much stayed with the original Edison Lighthouse version. I have to say, I’m particularly pleased with the guitar tone on this one. This is the first time using a modified Glarry Telecaster (new neck, pickups, tuners, etc.) and a cool, sea foam green/blue Telecaster I built from parts I ordered from various guitar parts suppliers online. The vintage style Wilkinson pickups sound great.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how this man replied to everyone comment? Absolutely amazing performance
Thank you so very much! I try to respond to everyone; that's the least I can do.
Just watched it for the tenth time awesome 👏, brings back so many great memories thank you sir !
He's fabulous n I just accidentally found him twenty minutes ago n I'm entralled n bingeing😍😍😍😍
@@russwilloughby501 You are fantastic thank you for covering these golden oldies😘😁👏👏👏👏
Couldn't agree more with you.
62 and love that song and excellent job. we grew up with happy songs
As a kid I remember the US Air Force using this song on a Nursing recruiting commerical on American TV. Depicted a US Air Force Nurse taking care of soliders injured in Vietnam.
Yes like '76 that's where I first heard the song and thought it was just a catchy jingle.
I was just 8 when this hit the charts in 1970 . I'm soon to be 62 and still love this song .
I'm 60, what a beautiful flashback to a more beautiful time. Thank you Sir.
Thanks a million!
This is sounds like a really clean remaster of the old song and I love the guitar and vocals! Anywhere I can download this?
There is actually downloadable software that allows you to save audio from TH-cam videos. I'd just google it. Thanks so much!
@@russwilloughby501 I think I need to add this to my playlist!
get "4k download" you can download it either as an audio or video, I've been using it for about 5 years
I'm 67. Great to hear this again. I'm amazed at how natural the strings sound!!!
I was always hopin I'd meet some cool chick named Rosemary back when I was hearing this awesome song and at 10 years old. I never did. There was also a song about a Rose Marie. (Smile A Little Smile). Anyway----great job!
Woah, how magnificent was this man's work? All done in the true spirit of 1970 when this song was released. A big Hit for Edison Lighthouse in the Spring. Everything old is new again 😎
Thanks so much!
Very well done. Sounds Magnificent ❤
Hearing to Edison and Elvis makes me wanna born in the 60s
I was born in the 60s...but I didn't begin to appreciate the music until I was in my 40s.
@@russwilloughby501 True... I only wish I had a time machine to watch them in live concert all young and energetic... what a time would've that been really...🥶
Oh my!!! one of my favorite songs that defined a time, a place, a feeling. And you brought it back. Well done young man!
Of all the covers of this song that I’ve heard, yours is by far my favorite, Sir. ❤️
Wow, thank you so much, Hannah!
30 seconds in and I said the same ♥️
Totally! Everyone else butchered it!
@@Chaliceofwine not me . I did this cover too . This guy is great 👍 love all his covers . ❤️
Excellent. The two performances I’ve watched, this and Baby Blue were both great. This one especially. As someone who once multi tracked songs on an old Tascam Portastudio, I can only dream of the ease this can be done today. Not to suggest this was easy, because I know it wasn’t!
Bravo!
This made my day. My Dad played this often when I was a kid & you’ve transported me right back to the external Saturday mornings of my childhood.
I can’t stop smiling.
Thank you. 🙏
Troy, so glad to hear it brought back some great memories; thank you so much!
You do not need a lot of hits to have your page in the book of Rock And Roll History. You just need one MEGA HIT and this was a mega hit my friends.....
All the music you do is so good! You should consider recording a CD with a collection of songs like this.
I'm too cheap to pay the licensing fees. Thanks so much for listening in, and for the kind words.
@@russwilloughby501 set up a go fund me page.
Brilliant I wish I could just sing one song
Right hander playing the drums left handed. Fab rendition by the way.
Actually, left handed, playing the drums right handed...Thanks so much; I really appreciate it!
One thing about Russ, He never let's you down. Every post is Gold. I have never witnessed so much talent in one person. Jim
Thanks for keeping this music alive with your fantastic cover!
I found the original song on my recommendations and clicked on it… but this is what I remembered of the song, not what the actual song sounds like
Thanks for listening!
From an older fellow that covers this tune....Outstanding!
Thanks much, Joe!
Brings back so many great memories of my youth
Glad to hear it!
Out of this world!
Thanks very much!
As good as the original brilliant guys absolutely superb.
Thank you so much!

I wish that I was close friends with you. I've listened to all of your performances and prefer most of them over the originals. I'd hang out at your place and listen to you perform all day long. You are so talented its almost ridiculous...fan for life.

Amazing as usual Russ. Bring back the 70s
Appreciate it!
His voice is gold
I appreciate the nice comment!
Love it! I had this song stuck in my head for weeks after watching There's Something About Mary 😆
This is song is now popular among the GenZs. This is one of the best covers so far. Love this rendition.
Glad you like it...thanks so much!
Awesome love the 70s / 80s
Thanks a million!
I have loved this song for a long time, but your cover made me love their song even more!
Thanks a ton!
Just found this on fyp and oh my god this has to be the best love grows cover??
Wow, thanks so much!
I am currently writing a book about a fictitious band that becomes involved in a murder mystery. I prefer to use a multi-plot format which showcases a garage band that plays this song for their debut concert. I'm not a musician, but I have studied a lot about starting a garage band. And this is the song I chose as their opening number. The point I'm trying to make is that this video is a perfect example of how my band would sound. Good job! I absolutely love this band!
Excellent...many thanks, and best of luck with your project!
been watching this many times. so awesome.
Wow, thanks!
Wow he sings so good , it’s amazing !
Thank you!
I think the original singer Tony Burrows (having his 80th birthday today) would appreciate your excellent cover, Russ!
What a nice thought...thanks so much!
Back in the day records (albums) were sold on tv by a cover group called the Sound Effects. I guess people bought them because they were comprised of multiple hit songs by various artists. I never bought them because they didn't sound like the originals. You have a way with your covers to duplicate the original sound. Keep up the good work. I love your choices!
I remember those albums; they were just one step up from elevator music. Thanks so much; I really appreciate it!
I just love your recording… and it makes me sad that my Son … did not name his daughter after me Rosemary🌹a very gorgeous name and she was born on my birthday month, too….
Rosemary🌹

Thank you so much!
Thank you for this wonderful rendition. I have a 3 year-old named Rosemary, and this is "her" song. She, her twin, and I love your video; it looks great and sounds fantastic.
Awwww, that's so heartwarming to hear...thanks very much!
Sir: Much much Mahalo from Honolulu!!! You are truly Da Man!!!...so impressive...
Thank you kindly!
Love it❤
Thanks!
Great work. Good playing and good singing. Congratulations on putting all together so well. In 1970 you could have had a No 1 hit with this.
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely fantastic rendition of this classic. You're a skillful master, and yet a jack-of-all trades. Your voice and guitar work so well together. Thanks for blessing youtube with another "Banger" to remember!
Thank you, Peter! So glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome cover. You really matched the groove and the feel. In no way detracting from this tour de force, but no one can match the quirky pronunciaion of Tony Burrows, such as "mist-a-ree".
Tony didn't join the touring band because it was more lucrative to be a session musician.
This is awesome !!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! Great job man! Love It
So glad to hear it....thanks!
😲 WOW! This Video! 🇺🇲
Appears to have One 🎶 Talented Musician Singing and performing all the 🎶 instrumental parts of this song! ( Not a easy cover)
But I think it was done, EXCELLENT! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks, Mike...I really appreciate it!
Brilliant and smoother vocals than the original singer. I was a toddler when this song hit big and it got constant fm radio play but this cover is so polished and tight.
Thanks a ton; I appreciate it.
Awesome ! That's a Great Mix ! Well done.
Thanks a lot!

Many thanks, my friend. Yeah, I was floored about the Jon Lord conection, too. I never knew!
Great Job! My girlfriend who's into nineties music even sung along with it at one point...I've played the original around her for years and never heard her sing a word to it.
