During the early 1970s, David formed the progressive rock group David Explosion but their one album was not a success. He was a guitarist for Vangelis in the early 1970s.[1] With Vangelis, he also appeared as vocalist on some of his early 1970s albums. David's voice is also heard on the 1974 single "Who" by Vangelis under the name 'Odyssey'. David then joined French rock band Les Variations, appearing on their final album Café De Paris (1975), which featured an early rock-disco crossover "Superman, Superman". When the band broke up, he went solo again. His personal "trademarks" are his sunglasses and his guitar (a white Fender Stratocaster).
His most recognised song was his hit "Words" in 1982, which sold eight million records worldwide, topped various charts around Europe in late 1982, and reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart in spring 1983,[3] surpassing a rival version by 1960s hitmakers the Tremeloes, and going on to becoming the 22nd best-selling single in the UK during 1983. The song appears in the Oscar-nominated film for Best Picture, Call Me by Your Name. The song is a catchy, slightly plaintive synth-led mid-tempo ballad sung in a slender, high-pitched voice.
During the 1990s, he took time out from his own music career and focused on writing and composing for other well known artists. David released another album, Words – '99 Version in 2000 which contains mostly covers. In 2009, he released the album Numbers, which was in collaboration with other musicians and featured songs that David himself most preferred.[4]
Between 2010 and 2011, he went on a national French tour of 52 concerts.[4]

Messerschmitt
So, all that's left to do
Is to let weariness be through
And on this evening
Start a spirit mending
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Green eyed taxi not so fast
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Please slow it down,
Stop, turn around
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And take me over to where
Joy and happiness will last
Will last
There, they won't inquire
To where fate me expire
And just like a miracle
Will understand it all
Алексей Антипов
Jen ja restas nur forigi lacon,
Kaj ĉi tiu vespero sanigas mian animon.
Verdokula taksio, bremsetu, bremsetu.
Kaj portu min tien, kie oni ĝojos pro mi ĉiam, ĉiam, jes, jes.
Tie oni ne demandos, kie mi vagis.
Tie, mi ja scias, oni ĉion komprenas.
Verdokula taksio, bremsetu, bremsetu.
Kaj portu min tien, kie oni ĝojos pro mi ĉiam, ĉiam, jes, jes.

2019 год заканчивается. Песне "Зеленоглазое такси" уже 31 год. Но до сих пор она греет душу.
Казакский Казакец
вечно греет , и спустя 34 года

@Vasiliy Alibabaevic не надо сравнивать. fRD. написал эту песню, боярский просто спел, причём нигде не указывал,что лишь римейк и кто автор.Полагаю и за публичное исполнение авторских не платил. А это уже плагиат, уголовно наказуемое деяние. И Михалков помалкивает в тряпочку, а ведь это его шарага должна следить вроде как за соблюдением авторских прав.
