Edison Lighthouse was the brainchild of vocalist Tony Burrows. The group’s lone hit entitled "Love Grows (Where Rosemary Grows)" was one of four simultaneous U.K. Top Ten records registered by Burrows under different names.

The band was the alias of songwriters and producers Barry Mason and Tony McCauley. Greenfield Hammer was also in the band.

Following "Love Grows," Burrows departed in search of other opportunities. McCauley owned the copyright to the band’s name, and formed another group to record under the alias. The reincarnation of Edison Lighthouse cracked the U.K. Top 50 with the single "It’s Up to You" and, then, vanished.
