Singer & songwriter Roger Cook is 81 today. He was a founder member of Blue Mink but is probably best known for his writing partnership with Roger Greenaway, which produced hits for artists such as Blue Mink, The Fortunes and The New Seekers, as well as the novelty hit "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" for Whistling Jack Smith, who's identity has forever been shrouded in mystery.

 

 

Words were added by Fred Oldörp of the German group "Die Travellers" who retitled it Ich war der Putzer vom Kaiser

In 2019 my niece got married at Spandau Castle just outside Berlin. During the disco afterwards as soon as the DJ put Winds of Change on the floor filled with all the Groom's side of the family particularly his parent's generation.
