Jon Pruett of Allmusic called his first album, The Forest of My Mind, "a bright, excellently produced LP filled with remarkable sunshine-dipped folk-pop songs." [5]
Parrish wrote the song A Poem I Wrote for Your Hair for the 1970 film "Fools" starring Jason Robards and Katharine Ross. [6]
With Lorenzo Toppano, Parrish was half of the duo Parrish & Toppano. They recorded two albums together and got quite famous in Europe, mostly Germany.
Parrish’s classic song “That’s The Way of Friends” from his 1979 album Song for a Young Girl gained popularity in the Philippine airwaves.
