Do you like The Fureys version of Flowers, by the way?

Never hoid of either the Fureys OR their version of Flowers. :( As for The Wedding Song, my The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits says it was a 1963 hit for Patti LaBelle (#37), called Down the Aisle (Wedding Song), and a #24 hit in 1971 for Paul Stookey called Wedding Song (There Is Love).
