I’m taking a short pause..
Back in a few minutes!

Being the Music Director of a college radio station, I ran across a lot of records that I loved that didn't make it. This was one. The British recording industry attempted to tame this guy. The song was written by Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod, whose songbook I played in my earliest days in the Canteen around 2011.

When I did the Roger Greenaway and Roger Cooke songbook all those years ago, I pointed out that one way to get your songs recorded was to record them yourself. This is the two Rogers under the name of David & Jonathan in 1967. They were best known for writing hits for the Fortunes. In 1972, the English Congregation would record a kind of rap version of this sweet little tune.

The Vogues went from a Pittsburgh label (CO&CE) to MGM in 1967 where they recorded this Roger Greenaway & Roger Cooke tune. A year later they went to Warner Brothers where they turned to a totally different sound.

The Vogues: "Lovers of the World Unite"

This little item form 1967 was totally out of left field, but I loved it. It was a hit in the UK, but not here.

Keith West: "Excerpt from a Teenage Opera"

It's been over half a century since 1967, but this song still haunts me.
