Wildflower: A Golden Classics Edition

This Vancouver pop group scored a #9 smash with 1973's Wildflower , and their keyboardist David Foster went on to be a successful solo artist and producer. You'll hear soulful singing and divine harmonies on their hit plus Brother Eddie; Writing's on the Wall; Twenty-Six Years; A Long Way to Go , and more of their best! As a historical footnote, Skylark is notable for being the first recorded work of David Foster, who would go on to write and produce Grammy-winning hits for such artists as Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. But at the time of its 1972 release, Foster was simply the driving force behind this overlooked, soul-pop combo. Skylark managed just one U.S. hit, the gorgeous, melancholy title track of this collection, but songs like "Writing's on the Wall" and "Suites for My Lady" have the same sultry late-night vibe. Highly recommended for Foster completists, but also for fans of acts such as Hall & Oates or Chicago. --David Sprague
