Sugar Bush (song)

"Sugar Bush" is a popular song composed by Fred Michel (born in 1898) in 1930. It was translated into English by Josef Marais.[1] Michel sold the rights to Polliacks for a small sum of money.[2]

A version recorded as a duet by Doris Day and Frankie Laine was the best-known recording, and appeared on the first UK Singles Chart in November 1952. Versions by Alma Cogan and Eve Boswell were also recorded in the United Kingdom.

The song is based on a traditional South-African song by the name of Suikerbossie ("Sugar Bush" in Afrikaans).
