Skylark formed in 1971 from one of Ronnie Hawkins’s backup groups and signed with Capitol Records, releasing a self-titled album in 1972 which spawned three singles. The group, whose alumni include composer/arranger David Foster, disbanded after the lukewarm reception of their second album, 2; its members achieved mixed success in other projects. Their biggest single, the power ballad «Wildflower», was a 1972 #1 hit in Canada on the RPM Adult Contemporary chart; it reached #10 on the Canadian RPM singles chart and then peaked at #9 on Billboard Hot 100 chart the following spring, selling over a million copies. It was written by guitarist Doug Edwards and Dave Richardson, who was a Victoria police officer at the time. The song’s popularity was boosted by frequent play on CKLW-AM radio after its initial release. Donny Gerrard was amongst the Canadian musicians who recorded the 1985 charity single for African famine relief entitled «Tears Are Not Enough». He sang his solo line with Bryan Adams. Doug Edwards died on November 11, 2016.
