David and Jonathan - Lovers of the world unite 1966
performed by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway
Roger Greenaway (born Roger John Greenaway, 23 August 1938, Fishponds, Bristol), is a popular English songwriter, best remembered for his collaborations with Roger Cook.
Both were members of the close harmony group The Kestrels, whose line-up also included Tony Burrows, and while on tour they decided to begin writing songs together. Their first, "You've Got Your Troubles", a No. 2 UK hit single for The Fortunes, in 1965, was the first of several successes they enjoyed thus during the next few years. These included a No. 4 UK hit "Here It Comes Again " for The Fortunes'. Later that year they began recording together as David and Jonathan. Their first single "Laughing Fit To Cry" did not chart, but they scored hits in 1966 with The Beatles' "Michelle" and their own "Lovers of the World Unite". Their final single, "Softly Whispering I Love You", in 1967, was not a success at the time, but became a hit in 1972 for Congregation. In 1968 Cook and Greenaway announced that they would no longer be recording as a duo but would continue as songwriters.
Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite
All good people, hear my song
If you feel the world is wrong
All division, nothing shared
Dreams have died and no one cared
Seems that just the young know how
So I ask them, listen now
Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite
Such a pity, such a shame
Man has only he to blame
Give them beauty, give them life
He created a toil and strife
It seems that just the young know how
So I ask them, listen now
Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite
