A 'true legend" that I'd never heard OF, though I had unwittingly HEARD numerous times. The stuff you learn on Y/T - a One Hit Wonder - five times over! Like many pop acts of the time, it appears that Edison Lighthouse was a producer's creation, not an 'organic' band. This was the nature of the record biz; as The Byrds put it "sell your soul to the company, who are waiting there to sell plastic ware!" I sure hope this guy managed to get recording royalties out of the deal, though the song writers probably made most of the money!
First time seeing this clip, and I am just pleased as punch to see Tony Burrows & Co singing this wonderful song. He is such a talented guy having sung several "one-hit wonders". Since he sang those songs under different band names, everyone says those groups are one hit wonders, but in reality Tony has at least 4 hits that I know of. Heck he could produce a greatest hits disc with all his top songs.THANKS FOR POSTING THIS PERSONAL VIDEO GEM FOR THE REST OF US TO ALSO ENJOY!
Actually five "one-hit wonders" for Tony Burrows: Gimme Dat Ding by The Pipkins United We Stand by The Brotherhood of Man My Baby Loves Lovin' by White Plains Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse Beach Baby by The First Class At one time he had three top ten hits on the UK Charts at the same time with three different groups.
Not sure why that got cut off... My Baby Loves Lovin' by White Plains, Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse and Beach Baby by The First Class. At one time he had three Top Ten hits on the UK charts at the same time with three different "groups"
Thanks for sharing this wonderful clip. How I would love to have been in that room! I was 20 at the time, living in London in 1970. It was a favorite song for me then, and still a favorite. Such amazing memories for me. Tony seems like a wonderful guy, humble even with all his success, and I am so glad he is still around and seems to be enjoying life. As I am, thankfully, at 68 years of age. Memories like this are some of the things that keep me feeling young, and continuing to enjoy life. Cheers, Carl
Tony and the guys were just wonderful.. What a treat to see them perform this classic hit, recently. Tony can still belt it out. I loved this song when it first hit the charts and l still love it. It is so nice to come to You tube and listen to Love Grows as much as I want, as well the other great songs, Tony sang lead on. It's fun to watch the audience, who remember this song, having fun singing along.
Oh how much love this guy! I remember this song was on over my town 1970's I was 11 years old... in Arica Chile Girls in bikinis .. in the beach! Oh God my youth .. Thanks for posting!
Damm! He's got the time-ing down pack, never misses a beat. Damm that was great! And the backup guys they were excellant all the way! You did the planet a favore by posting this, thanks.
+rafael solorzano He recorded a lot of session stuff which just so happened to be released all at the same time The (Original) Brotherhood Of man, White Plains, Edison Lighthouse, First Class & The Pipkins
BTW, I never dreamed that this tune had been sung by a Brit; it was definitely pitched at the American pop record market. So, the other day I finally learn it was this bloke Tony Burrows - a studio vocalist who made five hit records and sounded a bit different on all of them. He sang in an entirely different register on "Beach Baby" than he did on "Love Grows" four years earlier.
There was no original group just session players with Tony Burrows on vocals. I think when they pan to the audience that may be composer/producer Tony Macaulay
Tony Burrows is knocking on 70 yet he can still belt this classic out just as good as he did 40 years ago. Tony you rock!
Tony Burrows.....the ONLY 5 time One Hit Wonder! What a voice!
Now this is why RUclips is the best application going. Wonderful music by the original singers to be still enjoyed. Tony Burrows a true legend!

Edison Lighthouse actually had a second hit that hardly anyone remembers called "It's up to you Petula".
True
There was no original group just session players with Tony Burrows on vocals. I think when they pan to the audience that may be composer/producer Tony Macaulay
allright !!!!! Nice !!!!!!
awesome
YEAH!!!
Sweet
If be bugging out if I was in that room!!!
❤❤️❤️🇵🇱
thx for post nice great mems
There is something missing in this performance of this classic tune....🤔
Oh, yeah.... where are the go-go dancers in miniskirts?
THAT WAS THE BEST PART!!!
They were gyrating those booties !
Anybody know if the other men were in the original group?
Great
great
Tony Burrows must have been almost 70 in this clip. I guess the drink and drugs passed him by as he's looking and sounding good...
