JOHN ROWLES aka JA-AR

Zeit für Deutschland

Hallo,
viel Schriftliches gibt es bisher nicht zu lesen. Etwas aus Wiki kopiert:

John Rowles is best known in New Zealand and Australia, though he has also performed in the United States, particularly Las Vegas/Nevada and Hawaii, where he was managed by Kimo Wilder McVay. In the United Kingdom he was best known for the hit, “If I Only Had Time“, which reached # 3 in the UK Singles Chart in spring 1968, and stayed in the chart for eighteen weeks. This was a cover version of the French song “Je n'aurai pas le temps“ with which the French singer Michel Fugain had a hit in 1967; he co-wrote the song with Pierre Delanoë. The song also charted in the Netherlands, reaching # 2, after which the Franck Pourcel Orchestra had a minor hit with an instrumental version of the song, bearing the original French song title. In Germany, Schlager singer Peter Rubin charted with the German translation “Hätt ich nur einmal mehr Zeit“. In the USA, Nick DeCaro and his orchestra charted with his instrumental version, released as the B-side of the single “Caroline, No“ in late 1968, peaking at # 71 in the Cash Box Top 100 in early 1969.

Rowles had another Top 20-hit in the UK with “Hush . . . Not a Word to Mary“, also in 1968. This song also charted in the Netherlands.

In the US, “Cheryl Moana Marie“ got noticed in the summer of 1970 by some West Coast radio stations, but it took until the end of 1970 for the song to chart nationally, peaking at # 64 in the Billboard Hot 100 and # 78 in the Cash Box Top 100 respectively, in early 1971.
