David and Jonathan

Post by Eman » Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:57 am

Was going through a box of old records and some were eldest sisters. Ha ha!!! What a trip down memory lane and nice one though Anyway I stumbled upon a record called "Lovers of the World Unite" by David and Jonathan. I also found an album of hers by the same guys called "Michele" which was produced by George Martin. I know these guys were really Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway who wrote a lot of hits that I loved. Does anyone know what they are up to today? I know my sister must have had a crush on Roger Greenaway ( I think he was David) as inside the album there was a pin up of him from a teenzine and on the back it had all this bio data stuff on him. I just had to roll my eyes. I called her as she lives in Hawaii and she was all happy that I found the records and was denying every thing about the pin ups!

Robert, on "You Tube" there is a better "Live" version by David & Jonathon if you read the comments below the 45 rpm photo

I enjoyed their singing & the song.....They also wrote two of my favorites---"You've Got Your Troubles" and
"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" (1972)
I will try to find one of their Albums either on E-Bay or Amazon/uk if they are available!

Henry, on Amazon they have a 2 cd set of David and Jonathan. It comprises of their album and the Very Best of David and Jonathan. It's pretty pricey as $29.95 plus shipping and handling. There is also another cd just called "The Very Best of David and Jonathan" but I forgot the price.

Henry, I prefer to listen to the actual 45 rpm releases on Youtube, as "live" versions are often of inferior quality ..............but the David and Jonathan song maybe the other way round :wink: ..........................do you know that David and Jonathan are really the prolific songwriters.............Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway ? :)
