George Martin subsequently produced David & Jonathan’s
first major hit “Michelle “ (written by the Beatles) which stormed
into the charts in the States in 1966.This, with one of their own
songs, Lovers Of The World Unite, (once again produced by George
Martin) put David & Jonathan in the charts on both sides of the
Atlantic in the space of a few short months.
David and Jonathan split up in 1968 and in late '69 Roger Cook was
invited to join a new band called Blue Mink along with American
singer Madeline Bell. Blue Mink’s first number Melting Pot, written
by Cook and Greenaway, reached number 3 in the UK charts in March
1969 and throughout the early ‘70s Blue Mink had 4 more top 20 hits
with songs penned by Roger.
