 Rock ‘n’ Roll Trivia

 

 

For the birthday of Lynn Anderson, we heard an album track called “Flower Of Love”.  Her biggest hit on the Hot 100 (and one of many #1s she had on the Country chart) had the name of a specific flower in it.  What was the name of the song?

 

Extra hints:  It was a Joe South song, and it was recorded by other artists including Billy Joe Royal and Dobie Gray, although Lynn Anderson was the only artist to chart on the Hot 100 with this song during the Rockin’ Remnants era.  It was also a Hot 100 hit for another artist in the late 1980s under a different title, “I Beg Your Pardon.” What was the title when Lynn Anderson charted with it?
