Magumede - Johnny Clegg

"Johnny's Garden" - Stephen Stills/Manassas. This song is about the gardener at Stills' English country house that he bought from Ringo Starr who bought it from Peter Sellers. The gardener is said to be the inspiration from Sellers' Chance, the gardener character in "Being There".

As much as I hated this song; "Garden Party," by Ricky Nelson. This song made my skin crawl.

"Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin'" Gerry and the Pacemakers

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" - Elton John (too obvious? :smile-new:)

Yeah considering Gerry & the Pacemakers was ref'd only 23 posts ago, but it gives me perfect opportunity to use this one:
"Sunshine"-Jonathan Edwards
(Whom I infinitely preferred to John Denver)

Oh Waly Waly comes to mind first - there is willow in it, but not in the name.

But since I first heard it sung by Esther Ofarim about 50 years ago - I'm glad to find this

Willow - Esther Ofarim
