Roger & John also wrote "Love is on a roll" for Don Williams! I've known both of them for decades. Roger even produced an album on me, & I opened for John on tour in the late 80's. Both FINE folks!
Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, (along with Madoline Bell) were Blue Mink in the 60s' and 70s'. Songs such as, bannerman, melting pot, good morning freedom etc.
Many years ago Roger Cook and his brother stayed in my Hotel, The Golden Lion down in Ashburton in Devon England. Of course we got talking about music, he told me then that his favourite song writer was John Prine. He then asked who mine was, I told him Tom T Hall, he was amazed that I had ever heard of him ! Think his brother was called George, if I remember rightly !
Roger C. & Roger G. wrote The Hollies hit "Long cool woman in a black dress,& "I'd like to teach the world to sing", among lot's of others if you remember back that far. Cook also wrote "I believe in you" for Don Williams, & tons of other great songs!
When the guy in the white shirt started to sing I had to do a double take because just for a moment I thought that it was Jimmy Buffett. His voice sounds so much like Jimmy's and the song sounds like something that he would have sung. It's beautiful. And to John Prine... thank you for the music, the magic, and the memories. You will not be forgotten.
Has anyone heard of the song "Just wanna be with you" by John Prine? There only seems to be the lyrics of it on the internet. Has anyone got the mp3 song?
George's recording is terrific, but it was released 12 years after John Prine's recording. Several other renditions of the song were also recorded during that 12-year interim before george. I'm wondering whether it would be correct to refer to it as having been written for George Strait?
You are correct. John released it in 1986. There were several other renditions released by other artists, and 12 years later, in 1998, Georgia's performance was released.
If you listen to, and think about the lyrics, this is one of the greatest love songs ever written.
I believe John Prine can sing any song and make it special.
He wrote this one.
Oh my , this is such a Beautiful Song .. I’ve played it so many times & love it more every time . Thank you for posting it 💝💖
It JUST doesn't get any better than this!
A group of legends rite there, Phil Coulter on the keys is also one of Ireland's most successful artists internationally. Respect .
RIP John and PD .
Love it!

We dance together all the time John Prine 💃🕺
Beautiful song - still can't believe he is gone - what a genius.
Beautiful!
Saw John Prine a couple of months ago. Amazing is not a strong enough word to describe the concert.
I love this song so much. I see everything he's singing. He paints pictures with his words.
Beautiful. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

This is at the Barcelona Hotel Benidorm Spain the bloke in the loud shirt is Jacko from Gateshead that's why the band keep giving him strange looks
Who was the original artist for I want to dance with you?
John Prime 1986
I love this song so much but I think my favourite person singing this song is Daniel O'Donnel
Is that a baritone ukulele that Roger Cook is playing..Anyone know?
Yes.
Who wrote this song?
John & Roger - for George Strait

roger cook sound like jimmy buffet
piano man dancing
@cashfan85 The GreatJohn Prine (lead singer in this video)
Did he write this or did George Strait? It was a big country and western hit by George Strait, but it appears Prine and co. wrote it??
Prine & Cook wrote it.
You are correct. John released it in 1986. There were several other renditions released by other artists, and 12 years later, in 1998, Georgia's performance was released.
Question that has nothing to do with this song. One song Prine does has the phrase "two lovely lesbian ladies dancing on the ??? WHAT IS THAT SONG?
4 tone deaf numpty's don't like this! Go figure.
