John Edward Rowles OBE (born 26 March 1947) is a New Zealand singer. He was most popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, and best known in New Zealand for his song, "Cheryl Moana Marie", which he had written about his younger sister.
Rowles was born in Whakatane, New Zealand, and is part Māori. His father, Eddie Hohapata Rowles, played for the 1938 Māori All Blacks. His mother was Pākehā. He was brought up in Kawerau, in the North Island of New Zealand. Rowles' birth name was simply John Rowles; he added the middle name "Edward" after his brother of that name died at a young age.
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 number 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.
In linguistics, a word is the smallest element that may be uttered in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning). This contrasts deeply with a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning but will not necessarily stand on its own. A word may consist of a single morpheme (for example: oh!, rock, red, quick, run, expect), or several (rocks, redness, quickly, running, unexpected), whereas a morpheme may not be able to stand on its own as a word (in the words just mentioned, these are -s, -ness, -ly, -ing, un-, -ed). A complex word will typically include a root and one or more affixes (rock-s, red-ness, quick-ly, run-ning, un-expect-ed), or more than one root in a compound (black-board, rat-race). Words can be put together to build larger elements of language, such as phrases (a red rock), clauses (I threw a rock), and sentences (He threw a rock too, but he missed).
The term word may refer to a spoken word or to a written word, or sometimes to the abstract concept behind either. Spoken words are made up of units of sound called phonemes, and written words of symbols called graphemes, such as the letters of the English alphabet.
The inspiration for this great tune came from John's younger sister, whose name really is Cheryl Moana Marie. A mega-hit in several countries, including Rowles' down under homeland New Zealand, and of course Australia. "Cheryl Moana Marie" made the U.S. charts, but just barely, never rising above No. 61. Most of those sales were in Hawaii. Should have done MUCH better in this hemisphere.

His television debut was on 'Have a Shot' the same year, and he went on to appear in practically every light entertainment show of the era, from 'Happen Inn' to 'Go For It'. He also made at least 500 afternoon appearances with his old sparring partner, puppet Willie McNab; writing and presenting the popular children’s shows 'Chic-a-boon' and 'Chic Chat'. Both as a star in his own right and as support to such celebrities as The Irish Rovers, Vera Lynn, John Rowles and the Shadows, he toured the country many times in cabaret concerts, light opera and even ballet. A show business jack of all trades, Chic could certainly claim to be a master of at ...

John Rowles sings "One Day" - specially written for him
Originally written for a female vocalist. Lotsa Synth...Back in style now :)
I close my eyes, and I see you now
The way once in a while
Your smile a tender smile for me
And now the smile has gone
I'm alone and I lie here
on my own just wishing for
the memories that I have knwon
One day I must find you again my love
One day guess I'll hang on till then, my love
May be tomorrow
There'll be an end
to all this sorrow
I'll find my way, one day
And with this hand
I would touch your face
And when you used to cry
In these two arms you'd lie with me
But now I have to face
Empty years, all the worries, all the fears
with a broken heart
That's trying to stop the tears
One day I must find you again my love
One day guess I'll hang on till then, my love
May be tomorrow
There'll be an end
to all this sorrow
I'll find my way, one day
