  • Rock and roll ( I gave you the best years of my life) is een lied geschreven door de Australiër Kevin Johnson. Hij had er een kleine hit mee in het Verenigd Koninkrijk met 6 weken notering in de hitparade met een 23e plaats als hoogste notering. Het verhaal gaat over een persoon, die zichzelf hoog inschat als artiest. Als het serieus wordt, blijkt hij onvoldoende talent te hebben. Gedurende zijn zoektocht naar succes, verliest hij de vrouw, voor wie hij het allemaal deed. Kevin Johnson had er pas in Engeland succes mee, toen het nummer al door The Cats de Nederlandse en Belgische hitparades in was gezongen. (nl)
