Thread Name: Origins: Seven Daffodils / Seven Golden Daffodils
Subject: Seven Golden Daffodils - info please!
I posted the following request in the recent "Flower Songs" thread on Feb 21st, but it was seemingly at the end of its current life, so I thought I'd have a go with a new thread :

"I was interested to see Allan C.s mention (early in this thread)of "Seven Golden Daffodils" and that it was in the DT. This was one of my faves back in the early 60's when it was put out by a group called The Cherokees (who were???) on Columbia - the record (I still have my 45!!!) attributes it to Mosely-Hayes, but I guess that could just be the group's arrangement. What is the origin/history of this song - is it old/traddy??? How much does the tune of the DT version differ from the pop charts one, I wonder?? Can anyone help? Cheers! Rich-Joy"
