麻豆约拍

Over the next six weeks Michael takes an in depth look at the songwriting partnerships of Lieber and Stoller, Goffin and King, Cook and Greenaway, Gamble and Huff, Mason and Reed......and Jagger and Richards.

Together with music journalists Neil McCormick and Alexis Petridis, Michael explores the songs they wrote, the artists they wrote for and the skill that goes into writing a popular song that stands the test of time.

Michael Ball's Songwriting Partnerships continues tonight with Cook and Greenaway.

Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway were both members of the close harmony group The Kestrels when they decided to begin writing songs together. Their first collaboration "You've Got Your Troubles" was a No. 2 UK hit single for The Fortunes in 1965. Other hits followed....."麻豆约拍 Lovin' Man" (Andy Williams); "Doctor's Orders" (Sunny); "Something Tells Me Something's Gonna Happen Tonight" (Cilla Black); and "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart" (Gene Pitney).
