Composer
Roger Cook (1940-)
Roger Frederick Cook (born 19 August 1940) is an English songwriter who has written many hits for other recording artists. He has also had a successful recording career in his own right.
Cook was born in Fishponds, Bristol, England. Most of the hits he has written have been in collaboration with Roger Greenaway, whom he originally met while they were members of a close harmony group, The Kestrels. They had a brief but successful recording career between 1965 and 1967 as David and Jonathan, scoring hits with a cover version of The Beatles' "Michelle", and their own "Lovers Of The World Unite". They also penned their first hit as songwriters for others in 1965, with "You've Got Your Troubles", a number 2 UK success, and U.S. #7 for The Fortunes.
As a performer Cook is best remembered as a member of Blue Mink, sharing lead vocals with Madeline Bell. That group was formed in 1969, primarily as a recording outfit, featuring a wealth of top session musicians including Herbie Flowers (bassist), Alan Parker (guitarist), and Roger Coulam (keyboardist), who were simultaneously members of the jazz / rock / big band fusion outfit CCS, another mainly recording act.
