(1968)"Watch the Flowers Grow" is the name of a song composed byL. Russell Brown andRaymond Bloodworth and popularized by The Four Seasons in 1967. Produced byBob Crewe , the single was released in the wake ofThe Beach Boys ' "Pet Sounds " andThe Beatles ' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ", "Watch the Flowers Grow" struggled up the "Billboard"Hot 100 as The Four Seasons' music was rapidly falling out of favor with the American record-buying public (the Four Seasons' next single, a cover ofThe Shirelles ' #1 hit "Will You Love Me Tomorrow " did slightly better, reaching #24 as the lastTop 40 Four Seasons hit until "Who Loves You" in 1975).Songwriter L.
