Edison Lighthouse were an English pop band, formed in London in 1970. The band are best known for their 1970 hit single, "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)".
The original lineup of Edison Lighthouse consisted of Tony Burrows (lead vocalist), Stuart Edwards (lead guitar), David Taylor (bass guitar), George Weyman (drums), and Ray Dorey (guitar). The group's Top 40 hit "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (1970) was one of four near-contemporaneous UK Singles Chart Top Ten hit singles that Burrows released under differing names. The other songs were "Gimme Dat Ding" (The Pipkins), "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (White Plains), and "United We Stand" (Brotherhood of Man). Burrows was also lead vocalist on the single "Beach Baby" (1974) for another studio-only group, The First Class.
"Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" was #1 for five weeks and sold 250,000 copies in the UK. It reached the top of the chart in its second week. The United States release was in February 1970 and reached #5 in the Billboard Hot 100, selling a million copies there by April and earning an RIAA gold disc. In Canada the song reached #3.
