| - "Daisy Jane" is a song written by Gerry Beckley of the group America included on the 1975 America album Hearts. Issued as that album's second single — following up the #1 hit "Sister Golden Hair" — "Daisy Jane" reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the final Top 20 hit by the original three-member incarnation of America. On the Easy Listening chart the track reached #4. In Canada the chart peak of "Daisy Jane" was #16 on the Pop singles chart and #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song's narrator indicates he's flying back to Memphis in hopes of reconnecting with the girl he left behind "to roam the city". Beckley, who wrote the song at his cottage in East Sussex, has stated: "There was no such person as Daisy Jane and I had never even been to Memphis": Beckley believes that he likely drew the idea of writing a song entitled "Daisy Jane" from the Nick Drake song "Hazey Jane". Cash Box called it "a tender rock ballad with George Martin’s brilliant piano and string work in abundant evidence." The song features a solo cello. Producer George Martin played the piano on the song. A Finnish rendering which retains the title "Daisy Jane" was recorded by for his 1975 album Tulossa. The Janet Jackson track "Let's Wait Awhile" from her 1986 album Control has been described as "bear[ing] striking similarities" to "Daisy Jane". Reportedly on hearing "Let's Wait Awhile" on a car radio in 1987 - the track then being a current single - the road manager for the group America pulled over at a phone booth to alert Gerry Beckley to the evident debt of Jackson's track to Beckley's composition: eventually Beckley reached an out-of-court settlement with Jackson and her co-writers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis thus preempting litigation for plagiarism. (The 2001 Janet Jackson album All for You featured the track "Someone to Call My Lover" which overtly sampled the America hit "Ventura Highway" whose composer Dewey Bunnell received a co-write credit for Jackson's song.)

La canzone narra il viaggio di un uomo verso la città di Memphis, con l'obbiettivo di riconciliarsi con la sua amata che aveva lasciato nel luogo. Beckley, il quale scrisse il testo nel suo cottage di East Sussex, affermò a proposito: «Non c'è alcuna persona di nome Daisy Jane e non sono mai stato a Memphis». Il membro del gruppo dichiarò che la canzone "Hazey Jane" di Nick Drake gli diede l'idea di creare un suo brano, intitolato appunto "Daisy Jane". La parte iniziale del singolo del 1987 "Let's Wait Awhile", di Janet Jackson, presenta una discreta somiglianza con quella di "Daisy Jane". Una versione finlandese del brano, dal medesimo titolo, fu registrata da per il suo album del 1975, Tulossa Il singolo contiene sul lato B Tomorrow. (it)
