Jim,
Get this.
Triple bill : Hothouse Flowers, Tragically Hip, Midnight Oil
12 days tour across Canada. Should I go ? I like Tragically Hip,
so maybe I'll go and find out what the Hothouse Flowers is all about.

| 389.4 | I can see clearly now | OTOOA::ESKICIOGLU | I'm exhausted from lovin so well | Thu Aug 05 1993 19:40 | 13 |
| There is a beautiful cover of a well known, old song in HOME album
of Hothouse Flowers:
I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
It's gonna be a bright, sun shinny day
I like the song and I love the Hothouse Flowers' rendition.
But who owns the original ?
Thanks

| 389.5 | Johnny Nash recorded it around 1972/73 | KOLFAX::WIEGLEB | Enemy Lobster Although | Thu Aug 05 1993 20:48 | 10 |
| The version I recall was recorded by Johnny Nash in the early 1970s.
He also had a hit around the same time (although not as big) with
Bob Marley's "Stir It Up". Both the songs had a distinctive reggae
beat. I'm not sure who wrote the song "I Can See Clearly Now", though.
These were probably the earliest reggae style songs I ever heard - and
in the Top 40 yet!
Surely, the Hothouse Flowers album must credit a songwriter for it.
