Thread Name: Folk Songs That Hit the Charts as Pop Songs
Subject: RE: Folk Songs That Hit the Charts as Pop Songs
Lavender's Blue is another. I don't know if I'd class Steeleye Span songs in this. Certainly, they made the charts and certainly they had pop arrangements - but I think it was well known that Steeleye Span songs had traditional roots. This thread indicates that "Twelfth of Never" may have thraditional roots, too.
