Born in Bristol, England, Roger Cook is
recognised as one of the world’s greatest modern songwriters.
During his lengthy international songwriting career, Roger has had
more than 80 top 30 hits, including classics such as Something’s
Gotten Hold Of My Heart - Gene Pitney, Something Tells Me - Cilla
Black, Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress - The Hollies, and You’ve
Got Your Troubles - The Fortunes. However, Roger is perhaps best
known for his song I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing, which was
recorded by the New Seekers and became the theme song for a
long-running series of Coca-Cola commercials.
Starting out with co-songwriter Roger Greenaway in the early
sixties, the two Rogers were persuaded in 1965 by the wife of
Beatles producer George Martin to record under the names of David &
Jonathan.
