During their period as David and Jonathan, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway recorded early versions of many of their songs that became hits for others including "Softly Whispering I Love You" (The Congregation) which was released in 1967.
A lovely tune and a great musical arrangement. I bought the single in 1967, and it was always a favourite ending of a party dance - "wow, who's singing that romantic tune?" Unfortunatily I lend it to my sister and it was damaged in a car crash. It a real highlight hearing it again and the three (or four?) major bigdes. It brings back warm romantic moods from first year at high school, 1967.
I still wish I could find the instrumental version that came out in the early 70's. I remember calling the FM station that played it, and all thye could say was it was from their British music collection, no artist was given The arrangement was phenomenal. Oh well!
a great tune by superb writers and performers one of many penned by Cook n Greenaway

Thank you for posting this wonderful song. I have another version, but this one is so much better. D & J wrote such terrific songs.
