Roger Greenaway (born Roger John Reginald Greenaway, 23 August 1938, Fishponds, Bristol), is a popular English songwriter, best known 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. 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.
