James Roberts(31 March 1944 – 7 February 2003) was an English traditional pop
music singer, who enjoyed three hit singles from 1967 to 1969 in the UK Singles
Chart, as well as an actor and musical theatre star.
Born in Blackley,
Manchester, Roberts began his career in the entertainment industry as an actor.

Side Story led to a role in the musical Maggie May at the Adelphi Theatre in
1964.
His first single, "Time Alone Will Tell"
reached number 45 in May 1967, followed by his biggest hit, "May I Have
the Next Dream With You" in November 1968, reaching number 8 and staying
on the charts for 15 weeks. His final hit, in November 1969,
was "Love is All" (Les Reed, Barry Mason), which reached number 12. With this song he won 3rd place
in the Rio de Janeiro International Music Festival, also in 1969, considered by
many to be the real winner. Malcolm received the longest
standing ovation in the history of Brazilian Music Festivals, very popular in
the 60's and 70's. According to the sleeve notes of his 2001 retrospective CD
collection, his recording career continued in Brazil, where he had a very
affectionate reception and scored many hits. n 7 December 1968 he was the
special guest singer in the 1968 Malta Song Festival held at the Plaza Theatre

later appeared in pantomime, starring opposite Ronnie Corbett and Clodagh
Rodgers in the 1971 production of Cinderella at the London Palladium.
Roberts
also was a songwriter, collaborating with Sammy Cahn, Les Reed and Lynsey de
Paul ("The Way It Goes" on de Paul's debut album Surprise), as well
as writing incidental music for ITV's dramatisation of Lady Chatterley's Lover.
He
represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest 1985. The song, "Children,
Kinder, Enfants" was written by Ralph Siegel, Bernd Meinunger and Jean-Michel
Beriat, all of whom had written Eurovision entries before, with Siegel and
Meinunger writing the 1982 German winner. The group consisted of an
international line-up of the UK's Roberts and Ireen Sheer, Dutch singer Margo (Annemieke
Verdoorn), native Luxembourgian Franck Olivier, German Chris Roberts and
American Diane Solomon. The
song was performed mainly in French, with a counterpane sung in English and
German. They got 37 points and finished in 13th place.
(May
I have the next dream with you)
May I have the next dream with you, dear
Just
a dream between us two
Who’d
think that someday, somewhere, in some way
I’d
meet a dream like you
Close your eyes and put your arms around me
You’d
be surprised what love can do
So
may I have the next dream with you
And
may it last the whole life through
May I have the next dream with you, dear
Just
a dream between us two
Who’d
think that someday, somewhere, in some way
I’d
meet a dream like you
Close your eyes and put your arms around me
You’d
be surprised what love can do
So
may I have the next dream with you
And
may it last the whole life, may it last the whole life
May
it last the whole life through.
