Thread Name: Lyr Req: Petite Fleur (Kaleidoscope)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Petit fleur by : D.Lindley
David Lindley performed PETIT FLEUR (sic) on his album "El Rayo-X" (1981). Authorship is credited to "Feldthouse/Lindley." That would probably be David Lindley and Solomon Feldthouse, who performed together as members of Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope also performed PETITE FLEUR on their albums—
"Incredible!" (1968; reissued 1991 and 1997).
"Blues From Baghdad: The Very Best of Kaleidoscope" (1995)
"Infinite Colours Infinite Patterns: The Best of Kaleidoscope" (2001).
"Pulsating Dreams: The Epic Recordings" (2004)

On those albums, the songwriting credit varies, but it always seems to be various band members.

I listened to some samples, but I was unable to understand any significant amount of the lyrics. (I am not that fluent in French.) The style is a Cajun waltz.

You can hear Kaleidoscope's recording of PETITE FLEUR on YouTube.

According to orthodox French grammar, the spelling should be PETITE FLEUR, that is, feminine.
