Background

The song which was composed by Roy Phillips was released on CBS 4720 in January, 1970. It was backed with "P.S. I Love You Girlie".[1] As a follow up to their Top 10 hit "Birth", it didn't do as well and was a minor success.[2] New Zealand was where the song would be a classic.[3][4][5] Along with "Birth", "Girlie" is from their Birthday album.[6]

It was also covered by Patty Pravo and released as "Il Mio Fiore Nero".[7] Lucio Dalla did a version of the song which appears on his Terra di gaibola album.[8]

Spending a total of four weeks in the UK singles chart, it peaked at No. 34 on January 31, 1970.[9][10] However in New Zealand it had had a large impression and was hugely popular, giving them their highest charting single.[11][12][13] It hit the no. 1 spot there in May 1970.[14]
