Honey
Bobby Goldsboro
Yes, though he was not the first to record the song Bobby Goldsboro did record a version of "little green apples". OC Smith's version is more famous.
Bobby Goldsboro.
Goldsboro didn"t go for light and flighty themes like (Yummy Yummy Yummy) more like Walking in the Rain, under heavy bombardment! The song you are speaking about is Watching Scotty Grow. It is not specifically stated in the song that the child is adopted, but might be inferred. Does seem to be a single-parent family ( a la My Three sons). Unlike the death of (Honey)- the song is not specifically sad, but does have some unanswered questions. It is not definitely stated the child was adopted.

I have heard ( Honey) on old WCBS countdowns. Maybe they try to avoid it as it is an unavoidable tragic and morbid song.
