Cheryl Moana Marie hits number 1
John Rowles is a pop singer, born in the late 1960’s.
His hit single Cheryl Moana Marie sold over 1 million copies world wide.
It was John's best song of them all.  
After starting in a Auckland club band, John “crossed the ditch” to perform in
Melbourne and also Sydney.  
In 1996 he started working with kiwi promoter: Graham Dent.
In 1967, John went to England where Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck held
sway, but John's first release of 'If I Only Had Time' was a huge hit,
reaching #3 on the pop charts. He became successful in Australian television.

John's very first performance was at the age of 10, when he entered a local talentshow and sang the song 'All Shook Up', he took out the first prize. At secondary school he organised a small group and played lead guitar. His father managed the group and they played at local dances at weekends.
