About the band: Skylark were a Canadian pop/rock band, active from 1971–1973. They released two studio albums, then disbanded. Skylark currently have one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: Wildflower is a track from the 1972 album Skylark. It is one of those songs that I loved when I was a 16-year old discovering pop music in 1973, and still do. This single by a little-known Canadian band caused some controversy in America in its days when it hit the US top ten: was this a white group trying to do a black song or a black group trying to do a white song? It turned out to be the latter. Run time 4:09.
