In 1972 in Victoria, Canada, a rookie policeman wrote a poem for his girlfriend while driving home in his police car. Dave "the Cop" Richardson gave the poem to his young friend David Foster, an aspiring musician looking for material for his new band. Foster passed it along to Skylark guitarist Doug Edwards who set it to music. It was the first song Edwards had ever composed.
Skylark's WILDFLOWER went to Number Eight on the Billboard Top Ten and sold over a million copies.
Over 30 years WILDFLOWER has sold multiple millions in more than fifty versions. It's been honored with a BMI Millionaire's Award and SOCAN Classic and Crystal Awards. It's the song that launched David Foster's career.
