Karaca was born on 5th April 1945. His first group was called Dynamites, and was a classic rock cover band. Later he joined Jaguars, an Elvis Presley cover band. In 1967, he started to write his own music, forming the band Apaşlar, his first Turkish-language group. In 1969, Karaca and bass-player Serhan Karabay left Apaşlar and started an original Anatolian group called Kardaşlar (Brothers).
In 1972, Karaca joined the group Moğollar (Mongols), and wrote one of his best-known songs, "Namus Belası". However, Cahit Berkay, the leader of Moğollar, wanted an international name for his band, and he left for France to take the group to another level. Karaca, who wanted to continue his Anatolian beat sound, left Moğollar and started his own band Dervişan (Dervishes) in 1974. Karaca and Dervişan sang poetic and progressive songs.
He died on 8th February 2004 of heart and respiratory failure at the age of 58.

Bindik Bir Alamete
Cem Karaca Lyrics
Allah Yar Derviþanýz hak dost deriz Derviþanýz derviþan Allah yar ya…
Bindik Bir Alamete Gideyoz Kıyamete Bindik bir alamete gideyoz kıyamete Bindik bir alamete gide…
Deşer de Geçer Buz gibi bir neşter darbesi Senin bu ihanetin Sımsıcak kanay…
Hudey Hudey Sen bir yanıl elma olsan Dalımda bitmeye gelsen Ben bir gümü…
öbür dünya Karnı büyük obur dünya Keder dolu acı dünya Ne gül koydun ne…
Sakın Dönme Madem ki gittin Dönmesen de olur Hatta hiç dönmesen Çok daha…
Ülkem Benim Ülkem benim Ülkem benim Garib hüzünler içinde mahzun Ülke…
