I loved Blue Mink . The chemistry between Madeline Bell and Roger Cook was great . You could just tell they had real affection for each other .& Madeline should have been a much bigger star .She really shone .
Their voices were made for each other and he hit the nail right smack bang on the head with his lyrics. The man's a genius! Thank you Madeline and Roger. We need you back today to write and sing songs that make us think.Great musical talent!
Roger and Madeline BLUE MINK reunion on 14th April 2024 at Cadogan Hall London. Yes! Here's one of Roger Cook’s latest songs GOD BLESS THE WORD by Siobhan Maher Kennedy. He also performs a duo with Siobhan I DREAMED ABOUT YOUR FACE AGAIN LAST NIGHT. ua-cam.com/video/HtzwDd1xt90/v-deo.htmlsi=W2TBB8s-e90sfiYm
Beautiful song.. melodies.. arrangement.. playing and singing.. beautiful words.. as with 'Our World'.. by the same beautiful people.. a huge influence on me.. musically and personally.. right from square one.. pretty good influence to begin with :) Big Love to Blue Mink! : )
Yep! what a fantastic song and still is when I hear it. She was one to watch , both of them With Roger the writer. Yeah takes me back and I'm 76 now. Great times indeed
Yes, The New Seekers do a great version of the Blue Mink song "Melting Pot" . I have the album and the new CD with it on. They covered many Cook & Greenaway songs, specially a song I like very much titled "Somebody Somewhere (Is Waiting To love You)"
I was bought up on the 70's version. We all get the message. World Harmony. Everyone the same. But I'm White. So. I like my colour. But I also like the message of the song. I don't even tan. In the sun. Joking aside. I like The Banner Man better, as a tun/sing.
I’d like this to become a law!!! 😂😂 I’d love to come back in a couple of hundred years to find that all humans are practically the same colour. I guess they’d still be fighting about religion and land ownership though, can’t win sadly.
@converse91970 It was from Michael Barrymore show. The Rogers also performed on the show "You've Got Your Troubles" . I believe that is on youtube too? if not let me know and I will upload.
The song talks of 'turning out coffee-coloured people by the score'. No doubt if such a melting pot turned out white people by the score then they wouldn't be so keen on the melting pot. The fact that people are different and have different cultures, languages, ancestries, etc, is what makes the world an interesting place. The mistake people make is to think that cramming different peoples together in the same place in the name of multiculturalism is a good thing. Believe me, it isn't.
I so love this song , why can’t we all accept each other as fellow humans and except one another for all our faults

it's a corny line but their voices go together like coffee and cream. simply sublime.
Incredible voices Madeline Bell and Roger Cook💖💖
Great rendition 24 years on 👍
Man ! They brought tears to my eyes ! Favourite when I was young !. Love. Trinidad & Tobago.
Both are looking and sounding amazing. 2023 first time I heard this song. Amazing it never gets played..
After all these years and they sound still just as good

They are plain and simple CLASS!

I have seen the 1970 version. After two decades Blue mink 's voice was still amazing and they were looking great!
i was hoping that the world would change, since the moment i heard that song, but it is worst.
Fantastic! Just as it was in 1970
Madeline Bell , was and still is a great singer Blue mink were fantastic
Yep! what a fantastic song and still is when I hear it. She was one to watch , both of them With Roger the writer. Yeah takes me back and I'm 76 now. Great times indeed
I heard Madeline performing on the Big Band Special on BBC Radio 2 the other night. It's just great to know she still around. She's just Fab! XxXxX
Randy & the beautiful Stay With Me are my fav Blue Mink songs. Cook Greenaway wrote many songs for many artists.
Madeline is a fabulous singer
Give me this type of music, over what is produced today.

This was a beautiful song about anti-racism.

Hey Putin, you ( insert rude comment here ), just listen will ya. Why can't we all, just get along, please. 2023
So ironic that this song advocates racial harmony, yet it is politically incorrect.
Shite!!!
her teeth scare me
