Roger Voudouris was born on December 29, 1954 in Sacramento California

During his high school years, he formed Roger Voudouris Loud as Hell Rockers. Later the band was to open for such acts as The Doobie Brothers, Stephen Stills and John Mayall

Roger released his first album, the self titled Roger Voudouris in 1978. While this caused a little interest, the release hardly set the charts on fire.  He only had to wait a year later with his second album Radio Dream.

This album featured Get Used To It, which went on to be the 21st highest selling single in United States in 1979. 

Later that year, Roger travelled to Australia to host the top rating music show Countdown. His performance in a tight polyester v-neck jumper while facing a wind machine set female fans heart's racing and caused the single and album to shoot up the charts peaking in the top 25.

 

  He followed this with his 1980 album, A Guy Like Me. and 1981's On the Heels of Love. While On the Heels of Love did not follow the success of his previous album, he did  find a huge market in Japan, which loved the Roger Voudouris sound.

Soon afterwards, Roger got back to what he did best - writing lyrics and music. 

In 1983 Roger wrote the lyrics to the movie The Lonely Lady starring Pia Zadora, as well as performing on a few of the album's tracks. Among other projects, he wrote the music for a documentary on the life of Elvis Presley.

Roger continued to keep a low profile, continuing to write and produce music and work at his craft. 

Sadly, Roger passed away on August 3rd, 2003. If you would like to leave a message about Roger, please click on our guestbook below:
  

 

 

Get Used to It. Performed by Roger Voudouris. Written by Michael O'Martian and Roger Voudouris.

I did not know what you were about
Something called "love" made me want to find out
Did not think you could ever care
But I'm outta control 'cause you're takin' me there
I couldn't believe our love would last
It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster
Get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love

Get used to it, don' t let me down
You pulled me in, so don't turn me around
You didn't hesitate and told me just how you feel
There ain't no mistake, this time it's for real
I didn't believe our love would last
It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster
Get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love, please

I'll be around you
Because I'm crazy about you
I'll be around you, baby
You know I can't live without you
I'll be around ya, baby
Because I'm hungry for your love

So you better get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love, please
Ya better get used to
All my love, baby
Ya better get used...
To our love
