Sugar Bush (song)

"Sugar Bush" is a popular song composed by Fred Michel (born in 1898) in 1930. It was translated into English (Sugar Bush) then recorded and sung by Eve Boswell in front of the Queen. Fred Michel sold the rights to Polliacs for a small sum of money. A version recorded as a duet by Doris Day and Frankie Laine was the best-known recording and is called the Sugarbush Polka, charting in 1952. Versions by Alma Cogan and Eve Boswell were recorded in the United Kingdom.

The song is based on a traditional Afrikaans song by the name of Suikerbossie.
