"Spanish Rose" is a song written by Van Morrison that was written and recorded for Bang Records owner and producer Bert Berns and released on his 1967 album Blowin' Your Mind! and several subsequent compilation albums. It was also released as one of the follow-up singles to "Brown Eyed Girl" and reached #18 in the Netherlands.
"Spanish Rose" was written and recorded for Bang Records owner and producer Bert Berns on 29 March 1967.[1][2][3] Morrison and Berns clashed during these sessions as Berns wanted Morrison to record more commercial music resembling Brill Building hits like "Spanish Rose" while Morrison wanted to record more challenging music like "T.B. Sheets."[3]
